The
key to making you members happy is to eliminate
any
element of stress involved in booking and using your
club’s
facilities.
The
XML2010 Squash Court Booking System is able to achieve
a stress-free environment by targeting the different
activities members undertake to do just that:
booking squash courts
paying and identification
playing
A stress-free environment
Forgetting to bring
money, or not having the right change used to be
annoying. With the credit-only system, members need
not bring any money with them at all. All they need
to do is to top up credit, either online or at the
club, whenever they remember.
All that members
have to remember are their fobs. Fobs fit easily
on key-rings and eliminate time wasted on typing
in usernames and passwords, while the purposely-designed
touch screen display means no fiddly keyboard or
mouse.
Fair and easy booking
Members no longer need to go to the
squash club to make a
booking. The XML2010 brings booking to their homes,
offices and anywhere on the Internet.
The online element of the system facilitates
real time booking,
creating a fair environment. When booking a court
online, the selected booking time slot is temporarily
held
for a maximum of two minutes until the user has confirmed
it, thus allowing for slow or interrupted Internet
connections.
Once the two minutes are up, the booking becomes
available to other users online and on-site.
Courtside Controllers
The XML2010's courtside
features are designed to allow your members to get
the maximum playing time out of each booking, and
they even offer to extend it when possible! The courtside
controllers are small control boxes equipped with
a fob reader
and a LCD
display that are installed
outside every court.
The LCD display
shows those outside the court that it is booked,
giving the name of the person that has booked it
as well as the time left for that session. an thus
eliminating any possibility of confusion between
members and settling any issues there and then.
The
courtside controllers permit players to extend their
game,
if the court
has not already
been booked by someone else, when they place their
fob on the fob reader. The lights stay on for an
extra determined amount of time and the member is
debited
a partial fee for the extension.
Courtside Timers
As an optional feature, time display
boxes can be mounted above each squash court, within
view
of
both
the players
and the gallery.
When a game is in session, the courtside timers show
how long is left of the booking. When the allocated
time has ended and the lights have turned off automatically,
the timers revert back to showing the current
time.
