Thril — Booking and payment system for indoor golf centres

Golf simulator booking and payment systems free up a business owner's time at their best. When the system works, management doesn't require constant manual work. Thril combines golf hall booking, online payments and operational management in one system. This way the player books and pays on their own, and as the owner you get time for development.

What should you require from a golf simulator booking and payment system?

A good golf simulator booking system handles booking the slot, payment and the customer's entry in one pipeline. If these work separately, someone always ends up doing manual work. That might be checking payments, passing on door codes or sending emails.

When comparing booking systems, it's worth going through at least these questions:

• Can the player book and pay online or in an app?
• Which payment methods are available? Can the customer pay with sports benefits?
• Is sales made at the desk also handled in the same system?
• Does the simulator stay locked when it isn't booked?
• Can memberships, credits and coaching be sold from the same place as slots?

How does golf hall booking work in Thril?

The player chooses a day and time in the app, adds playing partners to the booking if they want, and pays in the app or online. If the hall has staff on site, payment can also be handled there. As the hall owner, you set the booking terms, advance booking times, cancellation terms and pricing yourself.

How do empty slots get filled? Thril's push notification automatically tells suitable players when a slot becomes available. In the best case, staff don't even need to open Thril.

How do online payments and payment methods work?

In Thril, online payments and invoicing tools work inside the system. Accepted payment methods include the most common ones as well as sports benefits: Epassi, Wolt Benefits, Edenred and Zevoy. Accepting sports benefits requires no extra work, as players can pay with them directly in the app.

Sales at the desk are handled by Thril's own POS system. The POS is directly connected to the booking system and automatically recognises bookings, memberships, punch cards and benefits.

How does the simulator stay locked?

SimSalaThril is Thril's own lock for golf simulators. It keeps the simulator locked until it's booked. When a booking starts, the computer and screen unlock automatically.

Five minutes before the booking ends, a QR code appears in the corner of the simulator screen, through which the player can book extra time directly in Thril, if the simulator is free after the booking. When the booking finally ends, the simulator locks itself.

When players can buy extra time themselves, every minute played also gets paid for.

What about memberships, credits and coaching?

Besides slots alone, the same system can sell memberships, credits, coaching and courses. Suitable uses for simulators include individual and group coaching, memberships that keep players engaged, beginner courses and trial memberships. Bella Golf Club from Kuopio actively uses Thril's membership and credit features, and according to them, they get players committed and coming back.

Of course, competitions can also be organised through Thril. By creating a competition in Thril, you can open registration, record results, follow them in real time and communicate with participants all through one platform.

How quickly can you get Thril up and running?

Thril onboarding is free, and ongoing support and training are available. The duration of onboarding depends on the size of the venue, but at best it has been done in 45 minutes.

With the same Thril account you can manage multiple simulators and locations. If the hall wants to expand or offer other sports, that can be done from the same system.
