Pricing - How much to charge for the hire of your sport facilities
Time of day, day of week, seasonality, concession rates. There is a lot to think about when it comes to pricing for your sports facility. We outline steps you can take to come to an informed decision.

A Modern CRM for your Sports Facilities
Storing your customers details - be that personal details, invoices, bookings or payments used to be a mishmash of different technology solutions, spreadsheets and GDPR concerns. At Pitchbooking,we have an inbuilt Customer Relationship Management System (CRM) that can handle all of the above in one platform.

Payment Links & Invoices
You need to invoice your customers, probably monthly, but reconciling payments and chasing up customers and your finance team for updates takes up valuable time and resource. We have created instant online payment links for invoices - instant notification and automatic reconciliation included as standard.
