Rowly, booking system for sports facilities
Book a demo

Less hassle. More play.

Rowly is a booking system that keeps courts full and staff off the phone. Customers book themselves, and administration sees everything in one place.

How it works

One system that handles bookings, matchmaking and management. Customers handle their part; you see the big picture.

Book on the go

The customer opens their phone, sees free slots and books a court without an app. One minute, no support call.

Customers book themselves

No app store, no support call, no queue at the office. Booking happens in the phone browser in a minute.

Management sees everything

Bookings, courts, closures, fault reports, feedback and reports in one view. Decisions are made based on data.

Growth won't break the system

A new location or court is added from the admin. No new rollout project, no separate billing.

Administration

One view where nothing gets lost

Reception, facility management and office staff see the same real-time situation. Bookings, court maintenance, faults and feedback are all in one place, so no one needs to call to ask if 6 PM is free anymore.

  • Daily bookings and cancellations in one view
  • Maintenance closures and exception hours without calendar chaos
  • Fault reports attach to the right court
  • Utilisation, peak hours and player visits ready to view

Locations and courts

Manage multiple locations and sports from one view. Players only see their own court.

Opening hours and closures

Seasonal hours, maintenance closures and exception times update automatically in the booking calendar.

Bookings and cancellations

Regular sessions, one-off bookings and cancellations in one place. Customers handle it themselves; management checks.

Fault reports and feedback

Is something broken on the court? The notification is linked directly to the right location and the right person in charge.

Reporting

See utilisation, peak hours, cancellations and unmet demand without manual compilation.

User roles

Rights for management, staff and customers. No one sees more than they need to.

Player Matchmaking
