Over the last few years, smart technology has increasingly impacted sports and fitness, transforming how athletes track their performance. Collecting sports and fitness data has become easier and more intuitive. For example, runners can now use smartwatches to monitor their pace and distance without fumbling with their phones, while cyclists benefit from handlebars integrated with sensors that track their speed and cadence in real-time. Similarly, Flic Smart Buttons are making a significant impact by allowing users to capture performance metrics with a simple push, providing a streamlined and efficient tracking solution.
A Partnership That Simplifies Tennis Scorekeeping
One partnership that exemplifies this integration is with Scorero, a tennis scoring app that allows users to easily track their match points with a simple push. Scorero’s founders recognized the challenge many players face—losing track of the score mid-game. As digital solutions become more prevalent in everyday life, Scorero saw the need for a tech-driven approach to simplify scorekeeping in tennis.
Their app provides an intuitive solution: points are recorded after each rally, and the score is announced acoustically, helping players maintain focus on the game. The app also features a live score-following option, allowing spectators and fans to track matches in real-time, further enriching the experience.
Push to Record a Point
The Flic Smart Button connects via Bluetooth to the Scorero app, enabling players to record points effortlessly by simply pressing the button attached to their clothing with a Flic Metal Clip or worn on their wrist with a Flic Button Wristband. One push counts a point for the player, while two pushes count a point for the opponent. This simple, efficient method reduces interruptions and eliminates confusion over the current score, allowing players to stay fully engaged in the game. Learn more about Flic for Sports.
The feedback from users has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly around how straightforward and reliable the Flic Button is for capturing game data. Its ease of use ensures that players can focus on their performance without worrying about manually tracking the score.
Markus Wippel, Managing Director at WMS KG, shared his thoughts on Flic’s impact on Scorero, saying:
“The buttons can be easily integrated into the game. They are small and do not get in the way while playing. The buttons can also be used perfectly with the wristband. Thanks to the uncomplicated integration and the good support from Flic, Scorero was able to exploit its full potential and develop into what it is now.”
Expanding Scorero’s Reach with Flic
Currently, Scorero is focused on providing its services to individual tennis players. However, the company is now exploring opportunities to extend its offerings to tennis clubs and sports venues. With the integration of Flic Hubs, Scorero could further streamline the scoring process for larger groups, bringing the same simplicity and efficiency to a broader audience. By leveraging Flic’s Device Manager capabilities, Scorero aims to introduce this innovative solution to more users and tennis organizations.
