WaldoPro Unveils SmartMate: Revolutionizing Custom Prints for Sports Team and Individual Photography with AI

January 20, 2025

Austin, TX January 21, 2025 — WaldoPro, a leader in school and sports photography sales solutions, is proud to announce the launch of SmartMate, an innovative AI-powered custom print configurator designed to transform the way volume photographers create memory mates for sports team and individual photography.

SmartMate introduces an unprecedented level of efficiency and creativity, enabling photographers to offer the most contemporary memory mate products with dynamically tailored designs that automatically match the backdrop and color scheme to the athlete’s sport and jersey colors.

Time-Saving Technology for Photographers

With SmartMate, photographers no longer need to manually design each memory mate for every athlete. This groundbreaking technology simplifies the process by allowing photographers to:

  • Create an Asset Library Once: Photographers can build a library of backgrounds, foregrounds, logos, and memory mate templates tagged by sport and color.
  • Automate Photo Placement: Individual and team composite photos, captured on green, gray, or white screen, are automatically dropped into the memory mate template in the designed floating nodes.
  • Dynamic Design Matching: SmartMate’s AI ensures that backgrounds and foregrounds are perfectly aligned with the athlete’s sport and jersey colors, delivering graphics contextual to the athletes’ sport and with a color scheme optimized to the jersey.

“SmartMate is a game-changer for any photographers who shoots sports T&I,” said Rodney Rice, CEO at WaldoPro. “By automating the design process, we’re giving photographers the gift of time—time they can use to focus on their craft, scale their businesses, or simply spend more time with family.”

Elevating the Memory Mate Experience

SmartMate ensures each memory mate is a unique and visually stunning keepsake, reflecting the personality and energy of the athlete’s sport. The configurator eliminates laborious and repetitive manual work while still allowing photographers to deliver a product that looks tailor-made for each athlete and team.
