Client Profile

Rose Tree Soccer Club in Media, Pa., provides a full range of soccer-related activities for boys, girls and adults living in the Rose Tree Media School District community. Participating coaches and teams can reserve playing fields, gyms and other facilities (both indoor and outdoor) for their games, scrimmages and practices. Depending on availability and time of year, the club typically schedules between 10 and 20 facilities.

The Problem

Prior to using Appointment-Plus, administrator Judy McDonnell would accept facility reservations from coaches primarily by e-mail. She would then manually input the information into an Excel worksheet. This process proved inefficient, as it was too hard to manage and too time-consuming. Additionally, it was difficult to keep track of coaches and team information, as well as scheduled times, dates and facilities.

Analysis

Rose Tree Soccer Club determined that an online reservation system that allowed coaches and organizers to readily view available athletic facilities and book them would be beneficial to its operations. In addition to helping staff better manage its coaches and athletic facilities, such Web-based appointment software would also reduce staff time currently dedicated to accepting online reservations and recording them in the Excel worksheet.

Solution

Rose Tree Soccer Club chose Appointment-Plus' online reservation system for its scheduling needs. The Web-based appointment software provides the club with secure online scheduling capabilities for its coaches and teams.

Result

Appointment-Plus is helping Rose Tree Soccer Club manage its athletic fields, gyms and other facilities more efficiently. Coaches can now schedule their sessions and book their facilities online, saving the Club a good amount of staff time each week. During its peak summer season, it routinely reserves 50 or more time slots each week. Ms. McDonnell says that feedback from coaches has been positive.
