Tactical Technology Solutions

We build it, not just recommend it. Stop trying to DIY complex technology projects while juggling daily operations. We do the hands-on work—configuring M365, building workflows, integrating systems, and creating custom solutions—so you get working technology, not just implementation instructions.

Why Organizations Choose Tactical Implementation

You know what you need, but you don't have the time, expertise, or capacity to build it yourself.

No Time or Capacity

Your staff are already overwhelmed with daily operations. Taking on a major technology project means something else doesn't get done. You need someone to execute while your team focuses on running programs and facilities.

🛠️

Tried DIY, It's Not Working

You started implementing yourself—but months later, it's still not done, half-configured, or doesn't work as intended. You need expert execution to get it right the first time and actually finish the project.

🎯

Need It Done Properly

You have a strategic roadmap or know exactly what you need built. You don't want recommendations or instruction manuals—you want working systems, tested and ready to use, built by people who understand recreation operations.

What We Build for You

Hands-on implementation work across M365, recreation software, integrations, and custom solutions.

M365 Implementation & Configuration

We configure and build your Microsoft 365 environment—not just advise on it. You get structured SharePoint sites, automated workflows, custom apps, and dashboards ready to use.

  • SharePoint sites & document libraries with proper structure, permissions, and navigation
  • Microsoft Teams setup—channels, tabs, integrations configured for your workflows
  • Power Automate workflows that eliminate manual tasks (approvals, notifications, data transfers)
  • Power Apps development—mobile apps for facility inspections, incident reporting, program check-ins
  • Power BI dashboards pulling data from multiple sources into actionable insights
  • OneDrive & file migration from shared drives to organized cloud storage

Recreation Software Configuration & Optimization

We optimize and configure your recreation management platform—Xplor, ActiveNet, RecTrac, PerfectMind, and others—so it works the way your operations need it to work.

  • System setup & configuration—custom fields, forms, workflows, permissions, user roles
  • Registration & program management optimized for seasonal programs and facility bookings
  • Payment processing configuration—gateways, refund policies, financial workflows
  • Custom reports & dashboards that answer your specific operational questions
  • Data migration from legacy systems—cleaned, structured, and validated
  • API connections for automated data flow and system integrations

System Integration & Automation

We connect systems that weren't designed to work together. Your tools become an integrated ecosystem instead of isolated islands—data flows automatically, not through manual export/import.

  • M365 ↔ Recreation Software—automated data sync, workflow triggers, unified reporting
  • Accounting system integration—financial data flows from rec software to QuickBooks, Sage, etc.
  • Payment gateway setup—Stripe, PayPal, Moneris connected and configured
  • Communication platform integration—email marketing, SMS, automated confirmations
  • Data warehouse setup—centralized data storage for cross-system reporting
  • API bridges and middleware—connect systems without native integrations

Custom Solution Development

We create custom solutions for recreation-specific challenges that off-the-shelf software doesn't solve—built for your workflows, mobile-ready for field staff, designed for how recreation operations actually work.

  • Digital forms & data collection tools that replace paper processes
  • Mobile-first apps for facility operations, inspections, and field staff
  • Inspection & safety systems—digital checklists, incident reporting, equipment tracking
  • Scheduling & resource management—staff scheduling, facility booking, equipment reservations
  • KPI dashboards—real-time visibility into operations, financials, program performance
  • Document automation—generate contracts, waivers, reports automatically from templates

Example Tactical Projects

Real scenarios that show the breadth and impact of Tactical implementation work.

From Paper to Digital: Facility Inspection System

Client Need:

A municipal recreation department was using paper forms for daily facility inspections across 12 facilities. Forms got lost, no one could track trends, compliance reporting took days of manual work.

What We Built:

  • Power App for facility inspections with photo capture and location tracking
  • SharePoint backend for storing inspection data and documents
  • Power Automate workflow routing critical issues to facility managers immediately
  • Power BI dashboard showing trends, issue frequency, compliance metrics

Outcome: Staff complete inspections in 5 minutes on mobile devices. Management sees real-time facility condition data. Compliance reporting went from 2 days to 2 minutes.

SharePoint Chaos to Structured System

Client Need:

A sport organization had 10+ years of files scattered across shared drives, email attachments, and personal OneDrive folders. No one could find documents. Version control was a nightmare.

What We Built:

  • Structured SharePoint site architecture (programs, facilities, admin, finance, HR)
  • Document libraries with metadata, version control, proper permissions
  • Migrated 50,000+ files with proper organization and naming conventions
  • Microsoft Teams integration and automated retention policies

Outcome: Staff find documents in seconds, not hours. No more emailing attachments. Version conflicts eliminated. Onboarding new staff takes half the time.

Xplor Recreation + M365 Integration

Client Need:

A recreation department used Xplor for registration but manually exported data to Excel weekly for reporting. Contract documents were separate in shared drives. Communication was fragmented.

What We Built:

  • Power Automate workflows pulling registration data from Xplor API into SharePoint
  • Automated weekly reports in Power BI combining Xplor + facility utilization data
  • Document library in SharePoint for program contracts linked to Xplor program IDs
  • Email automation triggered by Xplor registration events

Outcome: Eliminated 10 hours/week of manual data export and report generation. Single source of truth for program performance. Real-time visibility without constant Xplor logins.

Multi-System Integration for Growing Organization

Client Need:

A provincial sport organization had data in Xplor (registrations), QuickBooks (financials), Mailchimp (communications), and shared drives (documents). Nothing connected. Reporting required manual data gathering from 4 systems.

What We Built:

  • Central data warehouse in SharePoint collecting data from all systems via APIs
  • Power Automate workflows syncing financial data from Xplor to QuickBooks nightly
  • Mailchimp integration triggered by Xplor registration events (automated segmented communications)
  • Power BI executive dashboard combining data from all sources

Outcome: Leadership finally has complete picture of organizational performance. No more begging staff for reports. Data-driven decision making became possible. Saved 20+ hours/week in manual reporting.

Why Sport & Recreation Organizations Choose T-RECS for Implementation

We're not typical IT implementers. Here's what makes us different.

⚙️

We Actually Build It

We're not consultants who hand you recommendations and leave. We do the actual configuration, coding, building, and testing. You get working systems, not implementation instructions or lengthy documentation to figure out yourself.

🏊

Built for Recreation Operations

Solutions designed for how recreation organizations actually work—facility operations, seasonal programs, part-time staff, mobile field work, compliance requirements. Not corporate office assumptions applied to recreation.

🔗

Integration Mastery

We connect systems that weren't designed to work together. M365 + Xplor/ActiveNet/RecTrac working in unison. Data flows automatically instead of manual export/import. One ecosystem, not isolated tools.

Practical, Scalable Solutions

We build for your current size but design for growth. Start simple, add complexity as you're ready. Create solutions your staff can maintain—not systems dependent on us forever. Documentation and knowledge transfer built into every project.

How Tactical Fits Your Journey

Tactical is the "doing" phase—but you can start here or arrive from Strategic planning.

🔍

Strategic

Assess, plan, roadmap

YOU ARE HERE
🔨

Tactical

Build, configure, integrate

📚

Operational

Train, adopt, sustain

Coming from Strategic?

Many Tactical clients start with Strategic assessment. Strategic delivered the roadmap—now Tactical implements it. This is the natural flow: "Here's what you need" → "We're building it now."

Perfect for: Organizations who completed Strategic and are ready to execute the plan with expert implementation support.

Can You Start Here?

Absolutely. You don't need Strategic first if you already know what you need. Many organizations have clear requirements—"We need SharePoint for operations" or "We need Power BI dashboards built."

Perfect for: Organizations with defined projects, clear scope, or specific implementation needs. If direction is unclear, we'll recommend starting with Strategic.

What Happens After Tactical?

After systems are built, Operational Technology Solutions ensures adoption and ongoing success. Tactical builds it, Operational trains your team and makes sure it sticks. The natural flow: "Systems are live" → "Staff are confident using them."

Many clients: Move from Tactical to Operational to ensure technology investment delivers lasting value through user adoption, training, and change management.
