Dropback is the only GM software on the market that helps GM/Personnel answer the most critical question of college sports' new era:

‍

How much will your team pay a specific player?

‍

We built Dropback to empower GMs, Personnel, and Coaches to answer this question.

But also, Admin/ADs love our broader ecosystem to save hundreds of hours integrating the full roster management lifecycle into one, pro-grade platform.

• Dropback Strategy‍
  • Defensible, Custom Valuations: Others tell you FMV data. We let you build transparent ‘equations’ yourself, to value athletes your way.‍
  • Athletic Reputation Valuations: We integrate scouting data your teams already use to build your custom equations. Others, simply don’t.‍
  • Data Privacy: Others sell your data to generate FMV. We ensure data is 100% private & secure to your program.

• Dropback Admin‍
  • Budget Command Center: Provision capital distributions to any sport across any budget pool.‍
  • Automate Contracts: Auto-fill your custom contract template with athlete-specific details.
  • ‍Industry-Standard Security: Customizable role and permission access, with security measures like multi-factor authentication.

• Dropback Payroll‍
  • Automate Payroll: Automatically generate payment schedules from signed contracts, to automate payouts & 1099s.‍
  • No “Athlete Wallets” required: Empower athletes to use any bank account & keep their APY--while putting less liability on your department.‍
  • Fixed, Predictable Pricing: We don't make money taking APY away from your athletes, or with %-based pricing. We're a flat fee, per athlete, per month.

We know elite programs are looking for elite solutions. Don't settle for cookie-cutter GM software. Let's chat: Schedule a Call
