The Challenge
The problem
Running a powerlifting federation means managing far more than a website: meets/events, athlete memberships, weight classes and divisions, competition results, and official records — historically tracked in spreadsheets and disconnected tools. The federation needed a single platform to run events and maintain a credible, searchable records and rankings system.
The Solution
What we built
A1 Digital built a custom federation platform combining a public-facing website with a records and event-management engine. It handles athlete/membership data, event setup and registration, results capture, and an authoritative record book — giving the federation, athletes, and fans one source of truth.
