Zakobo

What Zakobo does

Zakobo ApS is a Denmark-based, privately held SaaS company headquartered in Odense that operates a single integrated cloud platform for the administration of sports clubs, associations, federations, and membership-based organizations. The product consolidates member management, subscription and dues collection, online payments, event and course administration, accounting (including single- and double-entry bookkeeping), website publishing, email/SMS communications, Messenger chat, digital membership cards, licenses and certificates, webshop, rental and court/field booking, and dedicated equestrian club administration, with all features included under one subscription license.

The platform is built on an API-centric architecture that synchronizes data automatically between clubs and federations; member, license, and payment updates at the club level propagate in real time to the federation, supported by Single Sign-On using a unique member identifier, direct CFR reporting integration, GDPR tooling, and integrations with Quickpay, Clearhaus, MobilePay (payments), GatewayAPI (SMS), Mailchimp, Google Meet, and Facebook. The technology is developed specifically for Danish-market conditions and Danish-language users.

Zakobo monetizes through a monthly subscription license priced from 695 DKK and scaled by member count, supplemented by one-time onboarding/setup packages at four tiers (Bronze 9,995 DKK, Silver 19,995 DKK, Gold 29,995 DKK, Platinum 39,995 DKK). It sells via direct sales (free online presentations), federation channel partnerships with five major Danish sports federations (Badminton Danmark, Dansk Atletik, Danmarks Cykle Union, Danmarks Motor Union, Dansk Ride Forbund), and self-service onboarding, serving 350+ customers and 380,000+ end users across Denmark with a team of approximately 10 employees.
