teamo

teamo is a communications platform, used to support team selection and communication. The platform is app-based, and allows parents to register their children. It is fully GDPR-compliant and allows parents to see any comms and invitations directed to their children, and respond on their behalf. It reduces the need for emails, which are difficult to track, and often missed because they end up in Junk folders.
