Software providers join forces for new exercise referral service

Two leisure software providers, Legend by Xplor and ReferAll, have partnered to improve leisure-based health programmes and make social prescribing and exercise referral schemes simpler. The deal will see Legend’s customers being able to integrate with ReferAll’s specialist data management platform to manage participant and member data for their health and wellbeing programmes.

Legend is a supplier of end-to- end leisure management solutions, while ReferAll’s exercise referral platform helps operators manage and report on their wellbeing services and referral-based activity schemes. Thanks to the partnership, the two systems will now “talk” to each other in the background, cutting out the need for manual data entry.

Tasks that used to take up to 30 minutes – such as finding or creating participant records – will be handled instantaneously, freeing up valuable staff time to focus on what really matters, supporting participants.

In addition, organisations can track participants’ progress and compare it with data from other membership sources, to help demonstrate the value and impact of their exercise referral programmes.

Alan Louden, Legend’s Commercial Director, said: “ReferAll’s platform enables health and wellbeing teams to manage referrals for multiple schemes, and report on outcomes in real time.

“This is particularly important to Legend, as we care deeply about providing a safe, frictionless user experience to our customers, especially with public sector leisure provision pivoting towards a health improvement model. Our customers will be able to seamlessly integrate the two platforms, saving hundreds of hours in admin per year. This integration will transform the time it takes to manage health-related services, helping them run more efficiently and focus on delivering excellent services.”
