Features
Six workflows. One connected business.
AMES is designed around the workflows that swallow time in growing activity businesses: bookings, payments, communications, attendance, absences, and credits for swim schools, dance studios, martial arts academies, gymnastics clubs, and other class-based operators.
01 / 06
Keep schedules, enrolments, and waitlists moving together.
AMES brings class setup, booking flow, and occupancy visibility into one operational view so staff spend less time reconciling admin across tools. Built for swim schools, dance studios, martial arts academies, gymnastics clubs, and any activity business juggling recurring weekly schedules.
AMES · Bookings
- Class scheduling with clearer occupancy context
- Waitlist handling without spreadsheet cleanup
- Booking flows designed for busy parents on mobile
- Multi-class and sibling enrolment in one flow
02 / 06
Collections automated through AMES Pay, powered by Stripe Connect.
From checkout to ongoing billing, AMES Pay keeps balances visible and collections connected to your records. Your team can spend less time chasing payments and matching them by hand. Platform and payment-processing charges are explained on our pricing page.
AMES · Payments
- Card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay via Stripe Connect
- GoCardless direct debit for recurring class fees
- Credit top-up flows with one-click checkout
- Failed payment recovery with smart retry logic
03 / 06
Handle parent communication without channel sprawl.
Bring routine updates, reminders, and replies into a more coherent workflow so your team can respond quickly without hopping between disconnected inboxes. Automated absence notifications and credit alerts keep parents informed without manual outreach.
AMES · Communications
- Parent updates and reminders in one workflow
- Context-rich message history for staff follow-up
- Automated absence and credit notifications
- Fewer manual resend and status-check moments
04 / 06
Capture attendance and next actions while the class is live.
Registers, absence follow-up, and staff visibility stay connected so operators can act on what happened today instead of cleaning it up tomorrow. Tap-friendly for instructors in class, studio, or venue environments.
AMES · Attendance
- Tap-friendly class registers for busy instructors
- Absence tracking that feeds replacement booking workflows
- Cleaner handoff between teaching and admin teams
- Real-time class occupancy from live attendance
05 / 06
Missed classes managed, not just recorded.
When a child misses class, AMES handles the whole workflow: record the absence, generate a credit automatically, let parents book replacement sessions, and track which absences still need action. No more manual spreadsheet juggling between admin and instructors.
One connected record, from the first update to the next class.
- One-tap absence recording from instructor registers
- Automated credit generation for parent accounts
- Parent self-service replacement booking flow
- Availability rules to control replacement capacity
06 / 06
Flexible credit system for missed classes and top-ups.
Credits are the currency parents use when they book replacements for missed classes, purchase top-up credits, or buy achievement certificates. Every credit is tracked, every spend is logged, and parents can see their balance at a glance in their Connect portal.
One connected record, from the first update to the next class.
- Automatic credit generation from approved absences
- Self-service credit top-up with instant checkout
- Sibling-to-sibling credit transfer support
- Credit balance alerts so parents never run short
Built around your people
Every update has somewhere to go.
A booking belongs on a register. A payment belongs with a member. An absence needs a next step. AMES keeps those connections together, so your team can work with the whole picture.
