Overview

One connected platform, from booking to billing.

Sportshub is a configurable sports club management platform connecting the complete journey from service discovery and booking to payment, check-in and attendance tracking.

Members use the responsive website or mobile app to book facilities, events, programmes and coaching services. Frontline staff validate reservations through the Staff App, while administrators configure facilities, schedules, pricing, booking rules and content through the CMS.

The same product foundation can be adapted to each clubhouse’s branding and operational requirements, creating a consistent experience without rebuilding the system from scratch.

03

The challenge

Turn fragmented club operations into one clear experience.

Club operations often use separate workflows for bookings, events, lessons, payments, attendance and communication.

The challenge was to create one reusable system that supports different club rules and branding while keeping member, staff and administrator experiences clear and connected.

04

My role & process

Map the operation before designing the screens.

I translated business and operational requirements into a connected product structure across member, staff and administrator touchpoints.

Outcome & reflection

Design the shared system before the individual screens.

Outcome

The design established a configurable multi-platform foundation connecting member self-service, administrator control and frontline operations within one product ecosystem.

Reflection

Designing across four connected platforms reinforced the importance of mapping shared data, roles and operational dependencies before designing individual screens.
