Choosing Software to Manage your Sports Facility
Making a decision on which booking software is suitable for your sports facility is no easy task. You will have a list of technical features that your facilities require. The finance team will want to ensure that any decision has their input too. It will have to be flexible enough to cater to the existing booking processes that you have, whilst still offering a way to streamline the process for you going forward.
Single Sign-On for Council Partners - Our Work to Integrate SSO with West Berkshire Council
Since 2021, we've proudly partnered with West Berkshire Council, featuring their wide array of Council sports facilities on our platform. Our collaboration took a significant leap forward earlier this year with the integration of Single Sign-On (SSO), a move requested by the council to streamline access for local residents. This update allows users to log into Pitchbooking using the same credentials they already employ for various other council services, seamlessly aligning with West Berkshire Council's digital strategy. The swift and efficient implementation by our development team introduces a hassle-free login process on our partner page, eliminating the need for separate account creation. This initiative utilises the Goss Digital Platform for SSO, a popular choice among UK councils, ensuring security and convenience for users.
