A booking calendar isn't just a calendar. Every booking generates data on sports facility utilisation. 73 % Facility utilisation rate 1 840 Player visits 18–20 Most popular playing time Pickleball Fastest-growing sport When the number of players is also known at the time of booking, we can see how much sports facilities truly engage people, rather than just the number of bookings. Data-driven decisions ## Add more courts or not? Now you can know. When courts are consistently fully booked and demand for free slots exceeds availability, the need for investment becomes evident in the data. Rowly shows utilisation rates, player numbers, most popular times, and unmet demand by facility and sport. > “Decisions don't have to be based on gut feeling when you have proper usage data.” Also, what remained unbooked ## Even a full court tells you something. If a resident searches for a pickleball court for Tuesday at 6 PM and finds no availability, this too is valuable information. Rowly reveals which sports, locations, and times experience demand exceeding capacity. - where more slots are needed - where courts are underutilised - where the next investment should be targeted ![A map with the municipality's sports venues marked with pins](/__l5e/assets-v1/fb8ea91c-5501-42f1-961a-58219ec039b1/venues-map.png?w=1440) In one place ## 20 sports facilities.
