An Overview of Sportoase x SportOffice
In the dynamic landscape of sports and recreation management, staying ahead involves implementing innovative applications. For Sportoase, the journey toward operational efficiency and enhanced customer service accelerated in close collaboration with SportOffice.
Developed in Angular and supported by a robust PHP backend, SportOffice manages multiple sports facilities, each with its unique set of activities, customer expectations, and operational challenges. The complexity of these required a solution that was both flexible and robust.
Sportoase was not just looking for software but for an IT partner who thinks along.
The Role of SportOffice
SportOffice became more than just a platform, it became an important part of Sportoase's daily operations. With its modular design, SportOffice provided Sportoase the ability to tailor functionalities to meet the needs of their diverse facilities. This flexibility was crucial, as it allowed for a seamless integration into Sportoase's way of working, enhancing rather than disrupting established processes.
SportOffice emerged as the perfect fit for Sportoase, offering a flexible, modular platform that could be tailored to their specific needs:
- Point Of Sale: The POS module facilitates fast transactions, supports diverse payment methods, and enables QR code ticket validations;
- Swimming School: Integrate & automate your process for tracking progress, allowing students to advance at the right pace;
- Class Management: Organize and manage group lessons and streamline the setup, scheduling, and availability for a variety of classes;
- Facility Management: Efficiently manage your sports areas, offering flexibility to reserve either an entire area or a specific segment;
- CRM: Track your customers visits, interactions and preferences to enhance customer service;
- Accountancy: Simplify financial management and integrate specialized tools for billing, invoicing, and reporting.
Hardware Integrations
Our Point-of-Sale stations offer an efficient service to the members and support a variety of hardware integrations. This includes payment methods through Bancontact, ticket printers, and ensuring secure access with eID, RFID, and magnetic card readers. The system also feeds displays that present information visually to inform customers about promotions and events.
In addition to payment and information display, the system has access control and vistor monitoring functionality. These features are important in managing entry to various facilities within Sportoase, like fitness areas, swimming pools, and other rooms.
7/7 Support
Sportoffice offers support seven days a week, covering both functional and technical problems. Our support is accessible through multiple channels: phone, email, or the online support desk. This approach ensures that requests can be addressed as quickly as possible.
