At Pitchbooking, we have spoken to thousands of individual sports facilities across the UK and Ireland. How they can modernise their payment processes for the rental of their facilities is never far from the top of their concerns.
Cash Payments - Manual, Time Intensive, Error Strewn
Currently, the majority of transactions are cash based, leading to additional time being spent to deposit the payments, reconcile facility accounts and deal with any misplaced or lost payments. Whilst on a one off basis this can be handled, the cumulative effect of each incident over a week, month or year adds up to significant time and resource being wasted.
We have seen other companies change the way sports clubs handle membership fees, such as https://gocardless.com (“The simplest way to collect membership fees”) and the Belfast based https://teamfeepay.com ("making payments and fundraising easy for clubs, their administrators and members alike”). We are doing the same for the rental of sports facilities.
The Pitchbooking Solution
Any facility which signs up to the Pitchbooking platform can accept online payment, either by card or via Paypal. This means when a user books your facility online, you can rest assured that everything is already handled by us, with the money instantly deposited into your chosen bank account. Furthermore, you can download a spreadsheet of all payments you have received instantly from the management platform to analyse.
- No more waiting for outstanding payments.
- No more employees or club volunteers physically handling large amounts of cash.
- No more reconciliation issues, additional accounting or financial admin tasks.
