Features specialised for the boutique studio experience

At bsport, we understand the nature of this, which is why we make it flexible for you and your team to make adjustments. Quickly change single sessions, or make bulk updates for future calendar classes, with the precision of start and end dates and which exact classes you’d like to change.
Reporting

- Class attendance – Understand what’s popular and optimise your schedule.
- Cancellations – Spot churn patterns and improve retention.
- Client behaviour – Tailor services based on user trends.
- Retention rates – Measure satisfaction and long-term performance.
