Case Study: Tennis Vlaanderen achieves streamlined digital membership and court reservations with Liferay

Responsive platform built on Liferay causes growth of site visits

Tennis Vlaanderen is the regional federation that supports roughly 480 clubs and 150,000 players in Flanders. Facing rapid membership growth, the organization needed a flexible, modern platform for online registration and payment, court and tournament reservations, and seamless integration with its existing Oracle/ELIT systems—all while reducing dependence on external IT vendors and cutting ongoing costs.

By implementing Liferay Portal, Tennis Vlaanderen launched a responsive, role-based site that automates membership applications, supports trainers and officials, and integrates with ELIT/Oracle for real-time information. The platform boosted engagement (95,000 unique logins/year, 5.5 million unique visitors/year), raised mobile traffic from 5.7% to over 40%, increased average session time by 43% to nine minutes, grew sponsor revenue by 15%, and lowered management and IT intervention costs—positioning the federation for further growth such as a planned tennis school module.
