Horse Show Software and Services - Overview

TimeSlice provides a complete ecosystem for your horse show and association requirements.

Our horse show software lineup is comprised of three primary systems, HSS, HorseShowsOnline, and MAPS.  These products are integrated with each other to provide a robust system that can easily share data.  An additional software package HSSremote can extend HSS to provide ingate and announcer status and to immediately publish entry and ring status to the web at HorseShowsOnline.

HSS show management software is the core application used to manage horse shows.  HSS is deeply integrated with HorseShowsOnline to publish show information to the web and to process online entries.  MAPS provides equine associations (EG: Hunter Jumper associations) with membership and points computation / ranking. 

The family of horse show products provide all the necessary resources for show managers, show exhibitors, and associations and their members.

MAPS - Membership and Association Points System

Horse show associations have several unique needs:

• Maintaing membership records and renewals
• Computing and reporting points and rankings based on how members have peformed at horse shows.

Computing points is a difficult process to manage given the variety of points rules, multiple horse shows, and special rules that must be applied.  Many associations try to do this with spreadsheets, but this is an enormous amount of work and prone to errors.  MAPS solves this by providing a robust and flexible points computation engine. 

MAPS provides the solution - an Association using MAPS can keep track of users along with membership renewals.  To track points for members and horses, MAPS provides the tools to let you import show results from HorseShowsOnline or from standard USEF results files generated by any horse show software.  Simply import a horse show's results into your MAPS system, review the data and instantly generate points reports and rankings.  MAPS provides numerous tools to adjust points after importing show results to allow fine tuning points and rankings if necessary.

MAPS highlights:

• Completely web based - no need to install any software.  Use MAPS on a PC, MAC or iOS device.
• Compute points and rankings for the entire association.
• Flexible points computing engine allows you to adjust points for various classes and divisions easily.  You can even override and adjust points for a single class result!
• DIrectly import shows and results from HorseShowsOnline into your MAPS database.
• Directly import USEF results files into your MAPS database.
• Generate email list for bulk email to association members.  This is great for sending membership renewal requests or sending bulk notifications to members.
• Easily merge duplicate people and horses.
• Import USEF sections or EC classes directly from USEF and EC to help setup your MAPS points divisions.
• Each association gets their own website dedicated to MAPS.  Members can browse to the association's website to obtain the most current points rankings.
