The Evolution of Archery Tournament Management: Why Switch to Archeris.net?
For over a decade, Ianseo has been a standard software widely used in archery tournaments worldwide. Designed as an offline/desktop application (PHP/MySQL), Ianseo has strong technical capabilities for standard World Archery formats. However, with rapid mobile and cloud technology advances, modern organizer and archer requirements have shifted significantly.
Archeris.net is a modern tournament management platform designed cloud-native from day one. Unlike legacy desktop systems requiring complex local server setups, independent database installations, and wired LAN cables between laptops, Archeris.net enables the entire workflow—from online registration, automated QRIS/Virtual Account payments, target lane allocation, to real-time live scoring via mobile tablets—accessible from any browser.
