Managing athletic facilities and sports clubs can be a time-consuming and complicated task, especially as the demand for high-quality, 24/7 facilities continues to rise. But with a brand new integration with Playbypoint, ProdataKey (PDK) is ready to make club management easier than ever! Playbypoint is a powerful all-in-one software that streamlines the access to and management of sports facilities.
When it comes to their target spaces, Playbypoint’s Marketing Specialist, Maria Del Mar Ortega, explains that they provide management for all types of facilities, with recent expansions into unique locations like “golf simulator clubs, gyms, pilates studios, and more.” Playbypoint is particularly popular in the world of racket sports, as the company emerged at the perfect time to meet the recent boom in demand for Pickleball and Padel courts across the United States. Together, Playbypoint and ProdataKey make it possible to create facilities that are both secure and effectively managed, ensuring a top-notch experience for both operators and members alike.
Playbypoint Features
As an all-in-one management software, Playbypoint offers many features to their users, available in one unified interface. Through this software, facility users or club members can easily reserve available spaces, whether it is a basketball court, pickleball court, yoga studio, or more. Additionally, users can sign up for lessons and seamlessly complete online payments, with unified customer profiles that make it easy to track all individuals’ activities and billing.
On top of these features, Playbypoint also provides comprehensive reporting and analytics, providing club members and managers access to information such as sales, transaction, payroll, revenue, and custom reporting statistics. Playbypoint shares ProdataKey’s opinion that unifying the management of disparate tasks into one platform is a necessity:
“I think it’s all about the user experience. You don’t want a player to have to juggle three different apps to pay, unlock doors, and check reservations. So having it all in one place is just easier for them,”
says Maria. By integrating PDK access control with club management through Playbypoint, facility managers can easily tie access permissions, groups, schedules, and rules into their club management platform.
Heightened Security and Peace of Mind
By using ProdataKey and Playbypoint together, you can set up courts or other athletic facilities that can only be entered when members are granted access permissions through PDK. “People can only get inside a court if they have 1) the court reservation, and 2) if they are there in the correct timeframe. So there’s an added layer of security there, knowing that people are only able to unlock the doors if they meet both criteria,” Maria explains.
Installing access control eliminates the possibility of people without reservations being able to enter the facility and use the space. Ensuring that freeloaders and un-authorized guests cannot utilize your space guarantees that your facilities are only used by paying members who have been approved by the club management system. This not only heightens security, but it will also increase the peace of mind for both club managers as well members and players who are making use of the space.
Simplified 24/7 Facility Management
Using Playbypoint and ProdataKey together opens the door for simplified and cost-effective management of 24/7 sports facilities. Maria explains:
“A lot of facilities that use our software are not open exclusively during the daytime, they’re often open through all hours of the night too. Having this integration makes it really easy for them to not always need to have a person there to unlock the courts and let people in. Instead, you have the ability to do it from the app.”
Rather than requiring someone to work overnight to check people in and provide entry to the desired facilities, all of that work can be done automatically with ProdataKey! As long as people meet the aforementioned criteria, they can be granted access to the space of their choosing without the assistance of a club employee–making it easier than ever to squeeze in a 2 A.M. game of pickleball.
This feature of the integration completely eliminates the financial stress of paying employees to be present overnight. Therefore, club and building managers can rest assured knowing that they are saving money while simultaneously keeping their facilities in-use and secure.
