Case Studies - Bournemouth Performance Centre
About the Bournemouth Performance Centre
The Bournemouth Performance Centre (BPC) is an elite badminton club based in Bournemouth, Dorset. They run weekly training sessions for their ninety players, hold special event days, and organise and run several Badminton England tournaments per season. They have a committee which organises all of this.
Challenge
The BPC keeps a database on its members, their subscriptions, rankings, gradings, and other information
It has several hundred visitors to their tournaments every season. In order for email reminders to be sent out to the correct age group, the players age on the 1st January must be known.
All juniors change age group every two years. They also change grades during the season. There is no point sending out a reminder for a tournament where a player isn't eligible.
It is also difficult to track how many hours each player does every week and how much that costs per player per month (players are billed monthly over an 11 month period.)
Solution
1BizApp's flexibility was spotted by the BPC committee and although the app is aimed at businesses, it was clear that the functionality could be adapted easily to the needs of the club.
The club downloaded the software and imported their players details from spreadsheets they had been using.
They created custom fields for their badminton specific requirements and also changed the dropdowns to suit their non-business needs.
Because the BPC don't coach nor charge in August, once a year the billing system needs to skips a month. A filter was created to simplify this special month's billing.
Result
1BizApp now tracks players details, number of hours training and creates monthly invoices for payment. Grades and Rankings are maintained through user-defined fields.
Custom filters have been created to list players eligibility for tournaments. This is created from DOB and Grade. Then a mail-shot can always be targeted to the correct group.
Press releases, mail-shots and all correspondence can be achieved quickly and efficiently using pre-defined templates, many of which come as standard within the software.
News and contact-us forms can be put on the website with just a couple of lines of code.
"...we didn't believe a free software could possibly be so adaptable and 1BizApp ticks all the boxes. We don't have a budget for software but couldn't have wanted for more. 1BizApp helps us with so many complex administrative tasks with ease."
