"Fusion. This software is one of the most important software systems we utilize in our facility because we use it for so many functions. This not only controls access, it is also our equipment checkout and sales software. We utilize this software in pretty much every department within the student recreation center, as well as the student union, including: membership services, fitness & wellness, aquatics, outdoor adventures, sport clubs, games room, computer lab and wellness center. We literally could not operate without this program."

"Essentially every high school in Iowa uses rSchool, Arbiter Sports and Quikstats for various purposes. I also use Google Calendar, Twitter, Facebook and Remind to communicate with athletes and the community."

"The Connect2 iOS app and web-based platform has allowed our department to eliminate the old-school paper forms and transition into our paperless efforts here at ECU Campus Recreation and Wellness. We are now able to have real-time access for facility management daily shift reports, accident/incident reports, and club sport/intramural programs to track data while also increasing awareness and efficiency of risk/safety protocols."


Anthony Muscatello, assistant director, external relations, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Va.
"Fusion has served as a central resource to our facility operation, member management and program registration. VCU Recreational Sports has thousands of members and we rely on the organization, ease of access, and transparency this program provides. With integration into our website, we can offer registration, renewal and payment online. The Innosoft company is constantly updating and upgrading their services. Most notably with the FusionGo app that allows our users the ability to connect with us in a seamless app based format."


Larry Mellinger, director of campus recreation, Elon University, Elon, N.C.
"Connect2 has been a total game-changer in how we operate our facilities in every way from staff communication to accident/incident reporting and usage assessment. It has been the single most beneficial software we have implemented in years."
