On June 5th, the Irish government announced a revised roadmap for reopening society and business. The Phase 2 announcement revealed that outdoor sports training can recommence with strict social distancing in place. Groups of up to 15, including trainers and coaches, may return to non-contact outdoor training (but not matches) while maintaining social distancing at all times. This is good news for players of outdoor sports such as soccer, rugby, hurling, camogie and gaelic football.
The Challenge
This news also comes with a huge challenge for coaches and sports compliance officers. Training sessions will no longer include practice or ‘friendly’ matches for some time. With no physical contact amongst players allowed, extra attention and detail will be required to how training sessions are conducted. In games like rugby, which is primarily a physical contact sport, you can see where that challenge presents itself.
At Blocworx, we recognise the important benefits of physical activity and sports for both physical and mental health. Sport Ireland Outdoors report that sports have numerous benefits for both participants and the local economy. These include mental health wellbeing, physical health, active citizenship, education & life-long learning and reducing crime & anti-social behaviours. The study suggests physical activity promotes general mental health status and physical health, combating diseases like stroke, heart attack & cancer. Moreover, sports promote integration & inclusion, volunteering, interpersonal development, education motivation and achievements and prosocial behaviours. Each of these are important for children, young adults and all age groups.
Blocworx Sports Attendance Platform for Contact Tracing
Blocworx have designed a free piece of software exclusively for coaches, clubs, schools, and sporting organisations. The platform assists in compliance with the latest government regulations surrounding outdoor training sessions. These requirements will attempt to limit the spread of Covid-19 virus during training practices and assist in contact tracing.
The solution includes a questionnaire for screening players before each training session and allows the compliance officer to track attendance of each player. There is also a visitors log which is designed for other people coming and going who may not necessarily be individuals who are training.
Simply input your training details and your information is stored for easy access and reference. In the event of a Covid-19 outbreak, simply generate excel reports of your attendance history directly from the platform.
If you’re a coach, compliance officer or team manager get in touch with Blocworx today. Simply, email Blocworx at info@blocworx.com or enquire through our website contact us form. Blocworx sales team will be happy to provide your with your own login of the system.

We’re still the same, just with more space to grow.
Big news! This week we released an updated brand identity to refresh our look. We believe the new look better matches what we’ve become since 2017, a centralised business process platform that modernises your business, while allowing you to achieve 360° visibility of your business process.
We loved our old logo, look and website and know many felt the same. Yet, we are here to explain why we decided to evolve it.
What’s changed and what hasn’t
We’ve updated our logo, website, typeface, colours and imagery like photography and illustrations. We also evolved from ‘Cartolytics’ to ‘Blocworx’. Our name began as a playful metaphor: mapping processes and analytics. These days we do so much more than that, our name stands for more than its component parts.
Aside from the new colours and illustrations, everything inside our customers Blocworx platform will be largely the same.
We’ve made a few changes to our website that make it easier to find helpful resources. A couple of highlights:
Our support articles are now easily accessible under the Resource menu. FAQs, customer stories and more can be found under Resources.
We’ve extended our News, Press & Blog pages to make it easier to find the content your most interested in under the News menu.
We introduced product categories by industry and business function under the Products menu. A range of products with descriptions and video demonstrations can found the Products menu.
Click to Buy option directly through our site is now accessible to set your platform up right away. We installed the best payment processing system to ensure a swift transaction.
How we got there
Our first name and logo were created before the company launched. The logo was simple with the company name at the forefront text and a plain dark background. The design was easy to read but not playful and didn’t accurately represent our brand personality. It was two simple colours white and black with no icon to identify our brand. Needless to say, it was time for a change.
Our in-house marketing team worked with Michelle McInerney and the team from Copper Reed, to create a more cohesive visual identity. We started with the logo.
The Blocworx logo uses a simple but vibrant colour palette and we believe is more refined, but still contains the spirit of the original. It’s an evolution and one that can scale easily and work better in many more places.
Our design goal was to better match how we look to our values and the users we serve. The logo shape is in the form of the letter ‘B’ to signifying the company name, Blocworx. The full stop after the letter is a statement to balance the design. A playful character smile symbol is the main visual focus of the logo.
The ‘;’ semicolon, is often used in computer programming to separate statements, this represents the programming focus of the company but it’s stylised with curves to appear friendly and even similar to a human face. We believe this modern take on the animation communicates a user-friendly platform that works to support our users.
The tag line, ‘process over code’ was introduced to emphasise how user friendly of our software is for any business to use with no coding necessary. We hope you like this new looks and feel for Blocworx.
Staying true to ourselves
With this redesign, we set out to retain all the weird, lovable elements that endeared our latest customers to Blocworx, while creating space for the brand to grow and connect with even more small business. We didn’t want to loose our heritage in the process, so we focused on capturing the essence of what Blocworx has always been.
Over the next few months, you’ll see all the other visual around Blocworx aligning around this new direction: on the website, in advertising and in some places in the product (though not in a way that will keep you from the important business of getting things done, of course). It’s still us. But more consistent and we hope more instantly recognisable.
In this year’s Driving Excellence in Innovation 2020 newsletter by Industry Research & Development Group (IRDG), Irish Pressing’s Ben McGonagle discussed how the digitalisation of quality and production management processes using Blocworx (formerly Cartolytics) has improved and will continue to improve quality assurance to customers.
McGonagle discussed how flexible work-plans by Blocworx can reduce the manual creation and maintenance of product specific paper folders and the data entry of information for operators. Digital work-plans of production process can bring product specific information straight to operators’ workstation, ensure compliance to specific data through finger-print IDs and enable data analysis.
Blocworx eliminates the paper of these folders but co-enables workers to enter live data in real-time. This also reduces the risk of mistakes in manual creation and maintenance, by eliminating the paper trail you, in turn, reduce the risk of misread data due to handwriting and the loss of data due to misplaced documents.
The article also explained Blocworx partner iQuTech’s involvement in initial referral of Blocworx through the IRDG online ‘Members Question Time’ feed.
