It's time to get better.
Are you ready?

Schools we are working with include:

OT Scout

Features

Work Disconnected

The iPad software is fully functional without an internet connection. On a plane? In a remote area? International prospect? On a plane to an international prospect in a remote area? You can still get all of your work done.

Voice Notes

Tell the staff what you think of a player or leave any other note. The days of typing or handwriting a note are gone. This also works without an internet connection.

Share and Sync

When you do have an internet connection, the application will upload your updates (data and voice notes) to every other coach and staffer, and you will get a refresh of their data.

Historical and Analytical

Want to see how a prospect's stats have changed over time? Want to see the board as it looked two years ago to compare to how players turned out? We thought ahead and built in that functionality.

Native iOS

Because we wrote a native iOS app, you can use our app in a way that mimics other apps you use on your iPad. It's easy to use, and does not feel like a web page squeezed into an iPad.

Measure Your Way

Your custom recruiting process includes custom evaluations. That's why our system is completely customizable based on what you want to track. Each position group can have different stats. Heck, even the position groups you want to use can be different.

OT Recruit

Features

Fully Featured

We designed OT Recruit to have all the features for tracking the recruiting process. Included are a phone application, calendars, contacts, high schools, communication logs, social media, and all the data fields you need.

Use Microsoft Office

Grab your data from Excel with our custom Excel add-in. Also create letters and other documents from within Word with our custom Word add-in. You don't even need to open our app to be productive!

Questionnaire and Ticket Portals

Whether we build your recruiting website or not, we give you portals athletes can use to request tickets (or attendance to Junior Day or any other event) and to fill out valuable recruiting information.

Reporting

Part of our implementation is building reports for your organization. Sure we have some reports that we know you'd want, but we will develop unlimited new ones you need at no extra charge.

Integrations

Who wants to see coach, prospect, and roster data all in the same app? The Footballscoop Coach Tracker data (current) and LAS Teamworks data (planned) are integrated for programs that also use those services.

Customizable

One of the best things about our solution is it comes from our programmers, who have been creating custom databases forever. If you need tweak or two, who better than us to help you with that?

Team

About Us

Our team brings decades of experience solving a wide range of technical, workflow, and creative issues. We have worked on insurance company, banking, and homeland secruity systems. Best of all, our team of software engineers, graphic designers, and consultants are here, with us, at our office.

Overtime Software is a spinoff company from I.T. by Design. While the ownership interests vary slightly, both organizations are managed by the same business and technical leadership. So, if you do not need athletics-oriented software - give us a call anyway. Chances are if you can imagine it, we can (and may already have) built it. For more information, read on...

Our philosophy is to understand the client and their needs thoroughly before technical solutions are offered. We want to make certain that your investment in I.T. is a smart decision for your company. We strive to create systems that make business-sense and fit in with your company’s strategy and overall goals.

Throughout a project, we often take on the role of an educator since much of what we do involves implementing new systems or adding new features to existing systems. Our President and one of our top Senior Developers have years of experience teaching technical classes at Louisiana State University. This gives us the skills needed to communicate to anyone despite their technological backgrounds and experiences. We are able to explain how to use new processes and technologies as well as answer any questions in a way that makes you feel comfortable, not confused.

Our organization centers on creating software solutions for our clients. What is custom software? Custom software is designed to fit your organization, rather than fitting your organization to packaged software. With custom software you do not have to work around missing features, and you do not need to change the way you like to work. In addition, you can avoid extra options, screens, setup, and other distractions that slow you down. Off-the-shelf software is designed to address the needs of a very large group of customers. Often, your business and its processes are unique, and there is no off-the-shelf software designed to do exactly what you need. There are other features to using custom software to fulfill a business need:



  • Change Management: With off-the-shelf software that resides at many organizations, changes to the installation code will void the service agreement. And even if that is not the case, what do you do when you change the software to suit your needs and then the vendor releases a new version? Now you are stuck between keeping your customizations and getting the newer software.
  • Long-term savings: Even if there is an off-the-shelf product that comes close to meeting your needs, you should realize how much cost (in terms of hours) will be spent training, learning, converting data into, and setting up the software. Custom software is designed around your current business practices, eliminating unnecessary time retraining employees.
  • Upgradable as you grow: What works for you this year might not be enough next year, or you might discover a new way of doing things. Rather than dumping your old off-the-shelf software and relearning and reconfiguring new software, simply add to or modify your custom software. This way, you can avoid risky up-front investments and save money in the long run.
  • Designed based on your input: During one of our custom software projects, you talk to the actual person(s) designing your application. They in turn understand your needs and develop solutions to meet them, from start to finish.
  • Streamlined and efficient: Custom software doesn't need to sacrifice efficiency and ease-of-use in order to cram in countless features for marketing purposes. Our custom software provides what your business needs without a lot of security holes or frequent service patches.
