It’s time to upgrade from dull lists and outdated software to a club management software that elevates your organisation. Don’t settle for basic functionality, find a platform that goes beyond basic bookings and payments. Look for a system that offers features that showcase your brand, classes, and merchandise, while expanding revenue streams, and enhancing your customer experience.
What’s legacy software?
It’s outdated, list-based software with limited functionality and automation. While it can process basic bookings and payments, it often requires customers to navigate through static class lists with little to no interaction, filter options, or brandability. Lacking flexibility and adaptability with the times, it only covers the essentials, without offering tools that grow your organisation.
So how does LoveAdmin outperform legacy software? Here are just 5 ways switching to LoveAdmin can transform your organisation, offering benefits legacy software simply can’t match.
1. Opens your organisation to new revenue opportunities with your own branded booking and registration site
Legacy software is often rigid, limiting what you can offer your customers online. Some platforms will only let you sell merchandise, while others focus solely on classes or events.
With LoveAdmin, you can break free from these restrictions, and offer everything from trials, pay-as-you-go, monthly and termly classes, to events, merchandise, camps, or even sponsorships and donations, all on your own branded booking site.
By centralising all your offerings in one place, your customers can easily explore more than just your classes, they can discover your upcoming social events, sponsorship options, and new merchandise – helping you to boost your sales through additional purchases.
Plus, we offer more than just the software. Our Step2Success programme offers 1-2-1 personalised business consultancy, helping you explore new revenue opportunities, grow your income and optimise your booking site.
Here’s what your shop could look like:
2. Improve your customer experience with an engaging, filterable calendar view
First impressions count, and using outdated, list-based booking sites can make browsing dull and drive away potential customers.
Don’t blend into the crowd with a characterless booking site, with LoveAdmin you can make your booking site really stand out, by adding your brand colours, logo, and images. Enhance your site further with class, images, colours, and subtitles to inform and impress your customers.
We understand that most of your customers will use their phones to book and prefer card payments. That’s why your booking site is fully optimised for mobile, and customers can now pay with, and save, their card at checkout for quick and effortless repeat purchases.
No more endless scrolling through dull class lists. LoveAdmin’s fully filterable weekly calendar view allows customers to filter by their preferred location, class type, coach, age, or time of day. Finding the perfect class has never been easier.
For parents, knowing who’s coaching their child is essential. LoveAdmin’s filter-by-coach feature allows them to see all the classes and events offered by their favourite instructor, ensuring peace of mind and satisfaction. Discover more about what parents want in our exclusive report.
3. Adaptability to suit your organisation and its needs
Legacy software often limits you with inflexible class and event scheduling, one-size-fits-all pricing and minimal management tools. But why settle for less when you can have full control?

4. Customisable communications to engage and promote your organisation

Advanced filtering makes it easy to target communications to individuals, classes, or your entire contact list – simply filter, select, and hit send!
Plus, our communication reporting tools allow you to track open, click and bounced rates on your emails to maximise engagement and your communication strategy.
Here is what Eagle Gymnastics said:
“It’s important to me that I can message parents and know they received any comms I have sent. I would also like to use videos and images in messaging. This isn’t possible using my previous software.”
5. Advanced automation to simplify your admin… and life!
With legacy software, high levels of manual management are often required for reporting and communication tasks. They usually do not have built-in messaging tools, so the use of third-party apps or spreadsheets is required to email or SMS groups or your entire cohorts, making communication admin tedious and time-consuming.
With LoveAdmin, automation takes over. Our software handles automatic emails for payment reminders, contact updates, welcome messages, invoice notifications and post-trial communications. Helping you to give a great first and lasting impression to your members.
We also automatic discounts, renewals, payment collections, and handle failed payment retries and pro-rated pricing, significantly reducing your workload while being flexible around your organisation’s needs.
