Rowing club admin software
One home for the member register, session attendance, boat and ergo logs, and AUD financials. Your committee gets everything it needs and finally retires that tangle of spreadsheets and WhatsApp threads.
What does the Row HQ admin dashboard do?
The admin dashboard gives the committee a single view of the whole club. Active member numbers, session attendance, how hard each boat and ergo is working, unpaid fees in AUD, and upcoming regatta entries sit together on one screen. Any figure opens the records behind it, exports go straight to CSV, and automatic reminders take over the payment and renewal chasing that normally swallows volunteer evenings.
Every plan includes the dashboard - the bands are listed on the rowing club software pricing page.
What's in the dashboard
Live club data, ready whenever the committee wants it. Have a look at how Oundle Town RC puts these same insights to work.
Member Management
A record for every rower: contact details, membership status, qualifications, squad. Because members keep their own details current through the member portal, the registrar barely touches data entry.
Financial Overview
Fees collected in AUD, what is still owing, and the revenue trend - all ready for the treasurer to drop into the next committee pack.
Attendance Analytics
Learn which training sessions pull a crowd, and catch a fading squad before winter numbers slide.
Fleet Management
Every boat, ergo, and blade set carries its own usage log, servicing schedule, and damage history.
Communications
Email one squad or the entire club, and let automatic renewal reminders do the rounds for you.
Report Export
Build exports for committee meetings, Rowing Australia and state association returns, or grant applications - with every record kept safe and secure.
Numbers, not guesswork
Row HQ watches what is actually happening across the club, then hands your committee figures worth deciding on. Coaches get the same view, scoped to their own squads.

Which KPIs does the rowing club admin dashboard track?
The metrics your committee reads at a glance, what each one is really saying, and the club records feeding it.
| KPI | What it tracks | Where it sources from |
|---|---|---|
| Member retention rate | How many of last season's rowers signed on again when the new season opened | Renewals completed through the member portal, with Stripe taking payment |
| Session fill rate | Attendance averaged against capacity for every session on the program | Sign-ups plus the attendance marks coaches record at each session |
| Payment collection rate | The share of fees settled on schedule versus amounts still outstanding in AUD | Stripe transactions, manually recorded payments, and the reminder ladder |
| Fleet utilisation | On-water hours per hull against time in the shed, alongside open damage flags | Boat bookings and the damage reports rowers lodge from the app |
| Training adherence | Whether squad members front up to the sessions they committed to | Each rower's attendance history over a rolling 12-week window |
Example KPIs and data sources. Actual figures depend on your club's configuration and history.

Rowing club admin software FAQs
How Australian club committees and administrators run their week with the Row HQ dashboard.
It is the system that replaces the spreadsheets and inbox threads a club captain, registrar, or treasurer used to wrestle with: the member register, fee collection, attendance reporting, boat and ergo usage, regatta entries, Rowing Australia and state association returns, and the committee's own reporting. Row HQ gathers the lot into one admin dashboard - sign in, read the numbers, produce the reports, never open Excel. And it is shaped around how Australian clubs really operate, from a school shed on the Yarra preparing for the Head of the Yarra to a masters crew training out of a harbourside boathouse in Sydney.
Retention broken down by membership category, attendance and fill rate for every session, fee status in AUD, per-boat and per-ergo utilisation, regatta entries with results, expiring qualifications such as first aid and water safety, and income measured against the club budget. Nothing on screen is a dead end: the "fees outstanding" tile opens the actual list of who owes what. Figures update the instant a rower confirms a session, pays a fee, or edits a profile, which means the committee meets over tonight's numbers rather than a month-old export.
Yes. Affiliation returns, member lists for your state association - Rowing NSW, Rowing Victoria, Rowing Queensland and the rest - and regatta entry CSVs all come out pre-formatted for the body receiving them. A registrar runs the export, grabs the file, and lodges it in minutes instead of losing a night to reshaping columns. Counts by category, age and gender splits, under-18 safeguarding flags, and current qualification holders are all covered. Custom CSVs for AGM packs and committee papers - membership trends, fleet usage, the financial summary - sit a couple of clicks further on.
It does, and it stays deliberately conservative. Projected monthly fee income in AUD is built from active members and their billing cycles, with likely joiners from the trial pipeline layered on top. Renewal risk gets flagged early: a rower who has quietly stopped turning up is highlighted before they lapse, giving the committee time for a phone call. Row HQ is not trying to be Xero - bookkeeping stays with the accounting tools - but the treasurer gets a solid read on next quarter's fees, which covers budget planning and the AGM cashflow slide.
Each membership has an expiry the system watches, with reminders going out at intervals you choose - 30, 14, and 3 days beforehand by default. The opening message is friendly ("fees are nearly due, renew here"), and the follow-ups gradually sharpen. Miss the cut-off and the member flips to inactive automatically, loses app access, and the admin sees an alert. Payment happens straight from the email - Stripe card payment or bank transfer instructions, whichever the club has switched on. The days of the registrar ringing around thirty lapsed members before regatta season are over.
