Golf Simulator Centres Powered by Pitchbooking

Play Any Weather, a group of enthusiastic golfers from Portsmouth, has revolutionised indoor golfing by building state-of-the-art Golf Simulator Centres. With unpredictable weather often hindering traditional golfing, their simulators offer a solution that combines top-notch technology, air conditioning, comfortable seating, and adjustable LED lighting.

To deliver a seamless booking experience for their customers, the team at Play Any Weather turned to Pitchbooking’s innovative solutions.

The Challenges Before Pitchbooking

Play Any Weather faced several challenges while planning the launch of their Golf Simulator Centres:

1. User-Friendly Online Booking: They required a platform that allowed customers to book available slots online via mobile.
2. Membership Management: They needed a system to manage memberships, offering members a 10% discount on bookings.
3. Secure Remote Access: A solution was required to provide users with unique, time-sensitive keycodes for accessing the simulators.

How Pitchbooking Solved These Challenges

Pitchbooking’s platform addressed all these challenges through a combination of existing features and custom development.

Streamlined Online Booking

Pitchbooking’s user-friendly interface ensures a smooth experience for booking and managing payments across various facilities. With a track record of supporting over 3,000 facilities worldwide, the platform allowed Play Any Weather’s customers to effortlessly book slots and complete payments anytime, anywhere.

Customised Membership Management

Through the Memberships Module, Play Any Weather created bespoke memberships offering 10% discounts to local golf club members. This module provides:

• Customisable membership fees
• Approval processes
• Custom forms for membership applications

This functionality enabled the business to cater to specific customer segments while boosting loyalty.

Secure Remote Access Integration

Play Any Weather needed a secure, remote-access solution integrated with their booking system. Using Pitchbooking’s Remote Access solution and partnering with Codelocks, they implemented a smart lock system. Key features include:

• Time-sensitive keycodes sent via booking confirmation emails.
• Exclusive access for the booker during the reserved slot.
• Enhanced security to protect high-value simulator equipment.

This setup ensured hassle-free, secure access for users even during unmanned hours.

1. 24/7 Online Booking: Customers can easily book slots through an online Partner Page.
2. Customisable Discounts: Membership benefits helped attract and retain customers.
3. Remote Management: The ability to secure and manage simulators remotely streamlined operations and facilitated expansion.
