For sports clubs trying to book school facilities, the process often involves a frustrating cycle of back-and-forth with school staff and a lack of streamlined systems. From coordinating schedules to chasing payments, the traditional process is not only time-consuming but also riddled with inefficiencies. Here’s a closer look at the current challenges and how Facility Finder can save your club time, stress, and resources.

The Traditional Booking Process: A Time Drain

Endless Back-and-Forth Communication

• Sports clubs typically rely on phone calls, emails, or in-person visits to communicate with school staff, often managed by volunteers or designated representatives, to initiate bookings.

• School staff must manually check facility availability, respond to club inquiries, and confirm bookings, which can take days due to limited scheduling systems.

Manual Scheduling Challenges

• Many clubs still use spreadsheets or paper calendars to track bookings.

• Double bookings or missed slots are common, leading to frustration for both staff and members.

Payment Nightmares

• Clubs often make payments via cash or bank transfers, requiring school staff to manually track and reconcile these transactions.

• School staff frequently need to follow up on late or missing payments from clubs, adding to their administrative burden.
