3) Increase Profitability

By having a straightforward booking process that your customers can engage with at any time, you will increase the amount of revenue generated for the club from the hiring of your facilities. The more bookings that are made online, the more information you will gather on your customers and their booking habits. Pitchbooking provides you with analytics on usage, as well as individual customer overviews to understand when and why your customers engage with your facilities. You can easily identify customer habits, as well as different levels of demand for rental based on time and date variables.

This information allows you to gain real insight into how your facilities are performing financially.

4) Reduce No Shows, Late and Missing Payments

The biggest difference between facilities that perform well commercially and those that fail to generate significant revenue for a club is that they minimise no shows and payment tardiness. The revenue lost from no shows can quickly add up, and can lead to desirable booking slots becoming under utilised by members of the local community, with no one being able to avail of the slot. Pitchbooking can enable block booking payments to be taken out on a recurring basis, ensuring the steady stream of revenue that clubs need to operate.

We can also add exclusions to any block booking, freeing up the slot to show as available when given prior notice that the hirer is not going to be present for any given booking. This means that other customers can then go in to make a booking for that time and date, maximising the usage of your facilities.

At Pitchbooking, we enable multiple payment options for your customers. When payment for a booking is taken concurrently online, customers won't treat your service as a throwaway opportunity. A hard financial commitment means that aren’t sure about attending (and know it) will be less likely to book frivolously.

5)Secure Online Payments

Payment processing is effortless in comparison to collecting money offline. Online payments are faster and more secure than ‘cash on arrival’ and they cannot be lost or miscounted for. At Pitchbooking, we partner with Stripe as our payment processes, the market leader in online payment processing.

Payouts are then transferred directly to your club bank account.
