At Worcester RFC, we are enjoying the benefits of Teamo for club management – from team selections to subscription payments – and it continues to be an invaluable platform for our operations.

Separately, we use IRCTouch POS (tills) software across our bar and kitchen. Members use swipe cards linked to IRCTouch to access bar discounts and preload credit – a popular and well-used feature.

At present, however, we’re maintaining two separate user databases: one in Teamo and one in IRCTouch. This duplication creates inefficiencies and, more importantly, limits our ability to enforce member-only benefits. While only paid-up members should receive discounts, we don’t physically retrieve cards when memberships lapse, so it’s difficult to restrict access reliably.

We understand that IRCTouch can query external systems in real time (as it does with third-party loyalty servers), and we’d like to propose a feature enhancement to Teamo to support better integration between the two systems.

Specifically, could Teamo support:

A sync or export of member records (including a unique ID and membership status) for use in IRCTouch

An API or lightweight validation endpoint that IRCTouch can query at the point of sale to confirm if a member is currently active (i.e. paid up)

This would allow:

A single source of truth for member data (Teamo)

Real-time validation at the till before applying discounts

Automatic control over discount eligibility without manual intervention

Reduced admin overhead around swipe card management

This enhancement would not only solve a major operational challenge for us and many other clubs – it would also increase Teamo’s role as a central and embedded part of club infrastructure. Integrating directly with POS systems makes Teamo far more ‘sticky’ within clubs, reducing the likelihood of switching platforms and further solidifying its position as the go-to membership solution.

Here’s an example of similar functionality supported by SumUp POS:

We’d be more than happy to assist with testing or help shape how this could work in practice. We see this as a real win-win for both clubs and the Teamo platform.

Thanks again for all you do to support grassroots sport.
