SAC / Swiss Climbing Dues in CHF (TWINT) Equipment & loans Retirement dates + reminders nLPD-compatible hosting

A management platform built for the climbing club, not one more spreadsheet.

Members, dues, time slots, attendance, communication, equipment: everything a Swiss climbing club or gym runs day to day, on a single platform, in CHF with TWINT.

Members & households

Climber records, families grouped on one record, coaches and roles. Registration from the club's public page with a built-in signup button.

Dues in CHF

Dues, camps and gym access collected via Mollie (TWINT, card, SEPA). Payment in 1 / 3 / 10 instalments, family discounts and automatic chasing of unpaid dues from Paak One.

Groups & time slots

Climbing school, kids classes, advanced squad, competition group, autonomous climbing: each weekly slot is a team and a recurring session series.

Attendance & communication

One-click roll call on every session, email call-ups, and a member portal with no account or password (schedule, payments) for every climber.

Equipment

Safety gear, with its retirement date and automatic reminders.

Paak tracks the club's equipment inventory, its lending to members and its returns. On safety gear you set a scrap date: Paak takes care of the reminders, before the due date, sent to the staff team.

  • Full inventory: name, type, size, condition, purchase and sale price, VAT, quantity, stock, low-stock alert
  • Loans & distribution: assign to members, track returns, collect payment (Mollie, cash), build bundles (kits)
  • Retirement date + reminders: at 30, 14, 7 and 0 days, by in-app notification and email, to the staff team (never to members)
  • Built for safety: ropes, harnesses, helmets, you decide which items a date applies to
Good to know: manufacturers recommend a maximum lifespan (often 10 years) for textile PPE such as ropes and harnesses, even unused. A retirement date keeps expired gear out of circulation. Paak enforces no standard and keeps no inspection log: it stores the date you set and reminds you.

The disciplines

Bouldering, lead, speed: to name your groups.

Paak speaks the language of climbing to organise your groups, time slots and communications. Live competition tracking is not offered for climbing yet: it is the club core (members, dues, attendance, equipment) that works from day one.

Bouldering Lead Speed Autonomous climbing Para climbing

Paak complements the Swiss Alpine Club: keep its tools.

The Swiss Alpine Club (SAC / CAS) and its "Swiss Climbing" competition programme, under Swiss Olympic, stay your official reference for licences and competitions. Paak lives alongside them and handles everything they do not: the day-to-day life of the club.

Safeguarding · Sonderprivatauszug

Sonderprivatauszug recommended for instructors.

  • Status per instructor: valid / expiring soon / expired
  • Alert before renewal (default 5-year due date, adjustable per instructor)
  • CSV export of the instructor list from Paak One · nLPD-compatible approach, data in the EU

Frequently asked

Does Paak track safety equipment (ropes, harnesses, helmets)?

Yes. Every piece of club equipment has a record: name, type, size, condition, price, quantity and low-stock alert. On safety gear you set a retirement (scrap) date and Paak sends automatic reminders at 30, 14, 7 and 0 days. Ropes, harnesses and helmets are only examples: it is up to you to say which items a date applies to. Paak enforces no standard and keeps no inspection log: it stores the date you set and reminds you before it falls due.

Do members get these reminders too?

No. Equipment retirement reminders go only to the staff team, by in-app notification and email. Members are not recipients.

Does Paak run a club affiliated with the Swiss Alpine Club?

Yes. Paak runs your members, time slots, dues (CHF, TWINT included), attendance, communication and equipment. The Swiss Alpine Club (SAC / CAS) and its "Swiss Climbing" competition programme stay your reference for licences and competitions: Paak is complementary and covers day-to-day club life.

Is a Sonderprivatauszug needed for instructors?

Switzerland has no direct equivalent to a French law, but Swiss Olympic recommends the Sonderprivatauszug (special criminal-records extract) for anyone in regular contact with minors. Paak tracks each instructor's obtainment date (valid / expiring soon / expired) and alerts before it is due. nLPD-compatible approach, data in the EU.

Does Paak offer a live competition scoreboard for climbing?

Not today. Paak names bouldering, lead and speed to organise your groups and communications, but it does not yet offer live competition tracking for climbing. The whole club core (members, dues, attendance, equipment) works from day one.
