Pitchero Sport Clubs

 

Playfinder and Pitchero have agreed on a partnership to allow for Pitchero clubs to move to online bookings by integrating with Playfinder’s booking system, Bookteq.

Bookteq is an intuitive booking software that helps clubs to manage bookings and customers, and take payments online. Features include:

  • Dynamic booking calendar
  • Block booking management
  • Pricing schemes
  • Online invoicing
  • Access to the Playfinder marketplace

How would this look for Pitchero clubs?

Pitchero clubs can integrate with Bookteq on their Pitchero account page under ‘Facility Bookings’.

Once the Pitchero Club has integrated with Bookteq’s system, they will then be able to host a bookings widget on their club website (see below). As a result, this will allow facilities to be booked instantly online.

 

Benefits of Bookteq’s software to Pitchero Clubs

Grassroots sports clubs across the country have suffered financially as a result of the COVID pandemic. Therefore sports clubs are looking for new ways to maximise revenue after a hard year. Bookteq by Playfinder has helped many sports clubs improve the utilisation of their facilities and therefore revenue. One of those is Tooting and Mitcham United Football Club in South West London.

Tooting and Mitcham United FC joined Playfinder in 2018 and have since seen utilisation levels rise by 29%. In addition, the club also saw 41% of payments being made online.

Venue Manager, Jackie Watkins, said: “The booking system has provided us with a great tool to manage our bookings and easily sell our available slots – they have found us new customers and increased our pitch utilisation.”
