The software for Swiss judo

Paak already manages your members, CHF and TWINT payments, and teams. For the SJV (Schweizerischer Judo & Ju-Jitsu Verband / Fédération Suisse de Judo & Ju-Jitsu), it goes further: complete Kyu-Dan progression, integrated Dan Register, dual discipline Judo + Ju-Jitsu. Complementary to Fairgate and JudoManager, never a substitute.

SJV dual-system architecture — Paak complementary

The SJV operates a uniquely Swiss dual-system architecture: Fairgate (Swiss vendor Fairgate AG) for member management and club administration, the SJV backend runs on it at sjv.ch/backend/signin; JudoManager (Datastat d.o.o. Slovenia, official IJF software) for competitions and Dan register at portal.judomanager.com/sjv. You keep both. Paak does not try to replace them.

Stays in Fairgate

SJV backend, member management, club administration. Official SJV tool for the federation member-management layer. You keep it as is.

Stays in JudoManager

Competitions (registration, brackets, results, ranking points), official Dan register, Video CutterV2 / Ingester. Official IJF software, used worldwide by judo federations.

What Paak adds

Multi-sport (a judo + other-section club, one platform), Mollie payments in CHF + TWINT outside the licence (dues, camps, training courses, sponsors), parent communications, club accounting, individual performance, volunteers, training planning.

Honest position — Tier 3

Fairgate is a direct Paak competitor, and the SJV backend runs on Fairgate. The SJV is Tier 3 on Paak's CH roadmap (after Tier 1 SHV/Volley/Basketball/STT and Tier 2 Swiss Tennis). Different turf: Paak doesn't displace Fairgate, we coexist outside the federation perimeter.
