Clubs already have software for members and gadgets for punches. Round Connect doesn’t replace them. It adds what none of them keep: who is ready for contact today, and how each person is recovering round by round.
| What it does well | What its public pages don’t describe | Where Round Connect fits | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fight-school software — Gymdesk, Zen Planner, Clubworx | Attendance, payments, belts and grading requirements by class count; family accounts. | Clearance for sparring, a head-knock protocol, warnings when pairing. | Keep them: we add safety and signals; webhooks and a read-only API to connect them work on our test stand. |
| Punch trackers — Hykso, Corner, StrikeTec | Count, speed and type of punches from sensors under the wraps; results on gym screens. | Who is cleared, how someone recovers relative to their own normal. | Their data is a welcome second layer where a gym already has them. |
| Round timers on the wall | Big, loud and reliable — every fight gym has one. | Who is under the timer. | Our screen becomes the timer and adds a personal tile for every bag. |

In short
- Safety first. Clearances, protocols and pairs within your limits — in every plan.
- Recovery, not peaks. What matters is how someone comes back down in the rest.
- Progress, not leaderboards. Each member’s own path; no rankings of children, ever.
- The coach decides. The system suggests and remembers.
