Court booking with Padelante, without changing what already works

Padelante's court booking fits the setup the club already has: its own system, a marketplace or the reception WhatsApp. The club decides which modules it uses. And when bookings run through Padelante, they plug into the ranking, which is where members are really won over.

The club chooses its modules

Ranking, booking, academy, tournaments and club website each work on their own. A club can use just the ranking and keep booking as before, or switch on booking from day one. It can change whenever it wants, with no lock-in.

Three ways it fits

Today the club books with…	What Padelante does	System in charge
Its own system or database	If the system has an API, Padelante can show its occupancy and pass new bookings back to it; we build that connection for each system. If it does not, Padelante sticks to ranking, academy and tournaments.	The club's own
A booking marketplace	Bookings stay there. Padelante runs the ranking, open matches, academy and season.	The marketplace
WhatsApp, phone and a notebook	Padelante becomes the court grid: members book on the club website and reception adds what comes in by WhatsApp and phone.	Padelante

The rule that prevents double bookings: every hour on every court has exactly one system in charge. That is why we agree it with the club before switching anything on.

Why it pays to book through Padelante

The heart of Padelante is the ranking: getting members to come back and play at their club. When booking happens in the same place, everything meshes:

BookThe member books and, if players are missing, says how many they need.
Open matchOne tap turns it into an open match shared on WhatsApp; members at their level sign up.
ResultAfter the match, the result is entered in seconds and the opponents confirm it.
Ranking and seasonPoints move and members see how many matches they still need to qualify. The next booking is one step away.

With an external system the ranking works just the same; only that automatic link between booking and match is missing. More on the ranking in Why should a club run its own ranking?

One grid per day with every court, occupancy and expected revenue
WhatsApp, phone, front desk and app in one place, each with its own colour
Academy lessons block their court automatically
Club rules: how far ahead people can book, how many bookings at once and the cancellation cut-off

Quick questions

Do we have to take payments online?

No. Payment stays at the club, as it is today.

Do we have to drop our current system?

No. If it works for you, it stays in charge and Padelante works alongside it.

Can we start with just some courts?

Yes. The club only adds the courts it wants to run in Padelante.
