Built from inside the sport

I started as an archery enthusiast. Showed up at events, watched how clubs ran things, saw the chaos first-hand. That was enough to start building. But the deeper I got into product development, the more I realized I needed to understand the sport from the inside out. So I got serious: obtained a Grade C archery judge license in 2025, took on the role of Wakabid Media & Database at Perpani Jakarta Timur, the city-level federation. Not because I wanted to be a judge. Because product-market fit demands that you go all the way in. My co-founder Aditya Priyantoro was already deep in it: ranked #1 Barebow Jakarta in the 2022 Jakarta Series. He shoots. I study the system that scores him. Between the two of us, the product gets the sport from every angle.

The problem was everywhere

A club wants to run a tournament. They open WhatsApp, create a group. Participants send name, class, distance in one long thread. Someone volunteers to type everything into Google Forms. Another person handles bank transfers by checking screenshots. Ianseo handles the scoring, except Ianseo was built for a different country's federation and nothing connects. The bracket seeding? A whiteboard marker that keeps drying out. By the end, the organizer spends more time reconciling spreadsheets than watching archers shoot. This is how every event ran, not five years ago, last year.

Alpha to market standard

October 2021: The HUB Cibubur. One event, one club. Scoring tool, that was it. By December 2022 the platform had run 39 events, processed 21,000 transactions worth Rp 1.7 billion. A database of 4,205 active athletes across 27 provinces. I didn't plan for any of this. I built a scoring tool. What grew out of it is something else: the operating system for archery events in Indonesia. I say "operating system" carefully. Not a metaphor. Clubs literally cannot run their events without it now. That both terrifies and vindicates me.

CPO perspective: the build order

Everyone asked for the marketplace. Browse events, register, pay. That is what people imagine an archery platform should be. I said no. Took two months to explain why. The operational core was broken. Clubs could not score reliably. Registration meant manually checking 200 names against bank screenshots. Certificates took days, sometimes weeks. A consumer marketplace would have made the same chaos visible to more people. So I rebuilt from the inside out. Scoring engine first: the hardest technical problem, the one Ianseo solved for other countries but not ours. Then registration and payment. Then certificates and reports. Only then, the marketplace on top. Each layer enabled the next. The consumer marketplace shipped last, not first. That decision still gets questioned. But the people who run events understand. They are the ones who told me, finally, someone built the thing we actually needed.

What running an event looks like

An organizer logs in and creates an event in five steps. General info: banner, date, venue. Registration fees: including early bird tiers. Competition categories: class, distance, individual or team. Match rules: club ranking calculations, medal criteria. Schedule. The system generates everything from that configuration. Registration page, payment integration, bracket seeding. If athletes from the same club end up on the same target butt, the system warns you. On event day, officials scan QR codes from ID cards. Enter scores per arrow through a mobile app. The live score appears on TV screens in real time. No paper, no whiteboard marker. After the event, e-certificates, ID cards, and financial reports generate in under 15 minutes. The entire lifecycle, from announcement to medal standing, runs inside one platform. This is the part that sounds like a pitch. It is not a pitch. It is literally what happens.

Going international: the IANSEO integration

Early 2024, we made a call: booking is the core. Not scoring, not marketplace. Booking. The registration flow from start to finish, seamless. That decision led to the first real test: Grand Triumph 2024, an international indoor archery championship in Yogyakarta. Over 1,000 participants. 161 teams from 8 countries: Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, India, South Korea, Canada. MyArchery handled registration and payment. IANSEO handled scoring. Two systems, one event, zero friction. The organizers didn't have to reconcile anything. Athletes registered, paid, got their target assignments. IANSEO picked up the data and ran the scoring. This was the proof: the platform can be the registration layer for any scoring system. Not just ours. The world uses IANSEO. Now we plug into it.
