RaceHQ, the cloud-based event planning and purchasing tool for participatory events, has this week announced the release of its MarketHub feature – ‘leveraging the buying power of thousands of races on behalf of race directors.’ In addition to RaceHQ’s project management tool for participatory events, the new MarketHub means ‘race directors will now have the ability to purchase smarter on everything needed to pull off an event with the convenience of single invoicing and easy payments.’
A release from RaceHQ adds that the new MarketHub feature was created to help race directors produce quality events within budget and make their lives easier. Alongside a completely redesigned user-friendly interface released last month, RaceHQ’s MarketHub feature gives its members the ability to receive non-binding, anonymous quick quotes and to work with a dedicated representative throughout the ordering process.
Initial products and services offered include event t-shirts, medals, bibs, registration, timing, photos, rentals, signage, and insurance.
“Until now race directors had very little buying power and spent much of their time chasing down quotes from multiple vendors,” said Anton Villatoro, President and Co-Founder of RaceHQ. “With over 2,000 races representing more than 2,000,000 participants on platform, our members kept asking for help in securing quality products and services within their RaceHQ project plans at better prices. Since tasks within a project are intimately tied to purchasing decisions, offering our members a group buying program made perfect sense.”
RaceHQ Membership is for event managers of small-, medium-, and large-sized events and includes access to RaceHQ project management tool, the new MarketHub group buying program and exclusive invites to expert webinar series, virtual roundtables, and downloadable templates.
RaceHQ.com is an online project management, collaboration and task management tool for participatory events. Developed specifically for event managers, RaceHQ incorporates a comprehensive set of features to ‘more efficiently operate and execute events within budget every time.’
RaceHQ aims to ‘replace the clipboard and yellow notepad by allowing race directors to easily take control of their events online using any device, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.’
