99% of #pickleball clubs don’t differentiate with their app. Here’s why that’s a mistake 👇 📱 A branded mobile app is the front door to your club. 🔥 Your customer experience starts with your app. Making the booking experience stand out makes your club stand out. 🎥 Your app can add differentiating features, such as allowing players to capture #instantreplays and share them with their friends At PodPlay Technologies, we lead with branded, intuitive, and modern mobile apps that put the customer first. We think you should too.

About us
PodPlay Technologies is the operating system for modern, tech-forward recreational venues. We built the tech that powers PingPod, and, in 2023, formed PodPlay to offer our full autonomous tech stack as a white label SaaS solution to like-minded racket sports venues. The PodPlay offering integrates reservations, event management, coach connect, analytics, and payments software with hardware-enabled features like scoreboards, customer initiated replays, door access, and 24/7 remote security monitoring. Today, we power clubs across pickleball, padel, pool, and ping pong, but the long term vision is to power all businesses pursuing the autonomous operating model. If you run a business that offers time-slotted experiences, we should talk.

Adding replays to #pickleball venues changes the game ⚡️ Here's how: 👇 When coaching players, "Students hear what you are saying but can't visually connect. The only thing better than telling them is telling them AND showing them." Replays enable skill improvements, increase players' desire to seek out coaches, and can increase overall joy of playing the game.

All booking apps are the same. Or are they? 👇 In a world where the demand for indoor pickleball courts far exceeds the supply, an argument can be made that the cheapest software is the best. Without competition, many clubs have gotten away with bare minimum customer experiences. That is changing. Market forces are working to bring in supply and balance demand. When that happens, 'being open' will no longer be a competitive advantage. Clubs will compete on the experience they create for customers. The front door to that experience is your booking app. Delight your customers and they arrive at your club already loving it. Frustrate them and they may not even complete a booking. NEW BLOG linked in the comments explains PodPlay Technologies maniacal focus on user experience and the importance of an intuitive, branded, mobile-first booking app. #sportstech #pickleball #clubmanagementsoftware #verticalsaas #podplay
