Introduction
Running a sports facility — whether it’s a training academy, indoor court, turf field, swim center, or multi-sport complex — isn’t just about managing space. It’s about managing people, time, and growth.
From booking chaos to payment collection to client retention, sports facility managers juggle a lot. That’s why using the right sports facility management software can transform operations and help you scale with ease.
Here are 8 must-have features every sports facility needs to run smoothly and grow successfully — and how Qest AI brings them all together.
1. Real-Time Booking & Scheduling
No more spreadsheets or overlapping court reservations. A modern sports facility needs:
Real-time availability for courts, fields, or equipment
Group and individual booking options
Staff or coach assignments per session
Auto-confirmations and rescheduling flexibility
Qest AI offers all of this through a simple, self-serve interface — for both admins and clients.
2. Custom Memberships, Passes & Rentals
From drop-ins to premium members, your clients want options.
With Qest, you can:
Offer time-based rentals (e.g. 1-hour turf slot)
Sell class packs or recurring subscriptions
Provide discounts for teams, families, or students
Customize access based on age, sport, or usage
You get complete control over your pricing model.
3. Integrated Payments & Invoicing
Managing payments manually? That’s a game you’ll lose.
Qest lets you:
Accept online payments (credit, debit, UPI, wallets)
Enable recurring billing for members
Auto-send invoices and receipts
