What does Pukka Software do?
MotorsportReg.com is a membership management and event registration service for motorsport driving and social events organized by car clubs, racetracks and individuals in North America. We make it easier and more fun for organizers to manage events by helping with everything from memberships to payment processing to email blasts.
Events include autocross, driving schools, club and professional races and rallies organized by groups like the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), BMW Car Club of America (BMW CCA), Porsche Club of America (PCA), Audi Club, Miller Motorsports Park and Road America.
How are they different?
MotorsportReg.com is primarily used by volunteers who organize events because they are passionate about cars, motorcycles and karts. Because motorsport events have a unique set of domain-specific requirements that must be met to guarantee safe and fun events, organizations really need custom software but can’t afford to buy and don’t have the time or skills to build.
Leveraging our own experience in organizing and attending events, we’ve built a multi-tenant SaaS architecture tailored specifically for these kinds of events and we’ve delivered professional customer service to organizers who are usually forced to DIY with limited resources.
Why could Pukka Software be BIG?
For every televised professional motorsport event there are thousands of fans who want to experience the same thrill and excitement of piloting their own vehicle. Our event organizers serve those who aren’t happy watching from the grandstands. While car culture originated in America, today it is a growing global phenomenon.
How they plan to make money:
We make a small commission on each online payment. We offer a free plan but 85% of our customers have upgraded to a paid plan. We also have secondary revenue streams with insurance, lodging and other partners.
Our thoughts:
No thoughts at the moment. Very interesting!
