Case Study: French Chess Federation boosts tournament engagement with Glide

French Chess Federation boosts traffic 55% YoY with Glide

The French Chess Federation, France's national chess organization, faced a challenge with its outdated communication and event management systems. Its lean team struggled to display complex tournament schedules and player statistics in a timely and accessible manner for its 70,000 members and over 2,700 events. The Head of Digital Transformation, Vincent Verhille, used Glide to build a solution.

Glide was used to create a mobile app that organized vast amounts of data, providing real-time updates, detailed player statistics, and a greatly improved user experience. The results were significant, with the app achieving a 55% year-over-year increase in traffic, 897,000 pageviews during a tournament, and over 4,700 new user registrations. The federation plans to use Glide for all future events and internal management tools.
