What improves first
Belt Grading & Tracking Software
01Define custom grading pathways for any martial art. Track student progress through kyu and dan grades, manage grading eligibility criteria, and record results automatically. Create custom belt colours and names for each discipline, set minimum training hour requirements before students can be put forward for grading, and build technique checklists for every grade so students and parents know exactly what is expected. Whether your school follows a traditional Japanese ranking system or a modern hybrid structure, AMES adapts to your progression framework.
Class Scheduling & Online Booking
02Schedule classes by belt level, age group, or discipline. Set minimum and maximum ranks for each session and automatically suggest suitable classes for new students. Rank-appropriate class filtering ensures beginners are not placed in advanced sessions, while capacity limits by belt level help instructors manage mixed-ability groups safely. New students receive personalised class recommendations based on their experience, age, and goals, reducing the admin burden of onboarding and ensuring every student starts in the right place from day one.
Direct Debit & Payments
03Handle monthly memberships, pay-per-session, grading fees, and equipment purchases. Flexible payment options match the way martial arts schools actually operate. Grading fees are auto-collected when a student is confirmed as eligible, removing the need to chase payments before grading day. Equipment shop integration lets you sell uniforms, belts, sparring gear, and branded merchandise through the same platform. Family membership discounts are calculated automatically for households with multiple students, and all transactions flow into a single financial dashboard.

What you pay today vs what AMES charges.
Most platforms charge a subscription, then leave you paying for booking software, team messaging, marketing, rota, inbox, notes, mobile access, and AI tools on top. AMES includes those platform modules in one low fee on payments collected through AMES.
The old model
Monthly software bills
Separate subscriptions rise as members, staff, contacts, admin seats, and marketing channels grow.
The AMES model
Platform included
Bookings, messaging, marketing, rostering, inboxes, notes, apps, and inclusive AI sit inside one AMES platform fee.
Usage is separate
Wallet-based services
SMS, phone/VoIP, and extended AI are metered services. They are available in AMES, but not counted as subscription savings.
Try your numbers
Adjust the 2 numbers most operators know. The calculator estimates monthly revenue from 4 sessions per member per month, then compares a typical standalone platform stack with the AMES platform fee. Metered SMS, phone, and extended AI usage are not included in either side of the saving.
What you would usually pay
£458/mo
The estimated monthly cost of equivalent standalone platform software at your scale.
What AMES would charge
£209/mo
Based on your active member count, AMES would charge 1.09% of payment volume collected through AMES, before any metered wallet usage.
Not counted as savings
Some services are available, but usage-based.
Bookings, registers, waitlists, makeups, payments, and parent self-service
Campaigns, segments, templates, and performance reporting
Offers, journeys, follow-ups, reactivation, and campaign workflows
Team updates, operational channels, staff coordination, and announcements
Staff rota, availability, time clocking, timesheets, and payroll prep
Operational assistants, content review, quality checks, and admin support
Multi-channel scheduling, content planning, monitoring, and engagement
Parent enquiries, team ownership, response tracking, and handovers
Session notes, policies, calendars, tasks, SOPs, and team knowledge
Parent, staff, and admin access without buying separate mobile products
Metered SMS, phone, and extended AI usage are excluded
No AMES subscription and no per-seat fee for the included platform modules. Usage services are handled separately through allowances and wallet top-ups.
Your rate improves as you grow
AMES lowers the platform fee as your active member base grows. Crossing a threshold does not create a pricing cliff; growth steadily brings your overall rate down.
At your current size, AMES would charge 1.09%. New members in the Growth band are priced at 1%, so growth lowers your platform cost instead of triggering a jump.
Monthly delta vs standalone stack
£249 saved / month
£2,988 annualised · plus the time you stop losing to tool-juggling
Standalone costs reflect typical UK market rates for equivalent software at your scale - not any specific vendor. AMES Pay uses the platform rate shown; exact onboarding terms are confirmed before launch.
Accounting software: AMES does not replace Xero or QuickBooks — it syncs to them. You keep your accounting platform; AMES sends the right data to it automatically (saving the ~£30/mo you'd otherwise spend on a sync integration).
Built to protect, designed to be transparent.
Activity businesses handle sensitive member data, payment details, and children's records. AMES treats that responsibility as a product feature — not a checkbox.
Your data is protected by design
AMES is built on Supabase with row-level security policies, encrypted-at-rest storage, and role-based access control. Every tenant's data is logically isolated so one operator never sees another's information.
Payments handled by Stripe, not spreadsheets
AMES Pay runs on Stripe Connect — meaning card data never touches our servers. Parents pay through Stripe's hosted checkout with full PCI DSS compliance, tokenisation, and 3D Secure authentication.
Transparent data handling, full user control
Parents and operators can export their data at any time as CSV. Data retention policies are configurable, and account deletion is a single action with full data purging guaranteed within 30 days.
Always available when operations depend on it
Deployed on Vercel's global edge network with automatic scaling and failover. No single point of failure, automated backups every 6 hours, and disaster recovery tested quarterly.
Leave whenever you want, with everything
Export every booking, payment, member record, and progression entry as structured CSV files. We believe great software earns retention — it should never rely on data hostage-taking.
Every action logged, nothing hidden
Staff actions like booking changes, payment adjustments, and policy modifications are captured in an audit log. Managers can trace who changed what, when, and why — essential for growing teams.
Works with the tools you already rely on.
AMES connects to the tools you already rely on — payments, inboxes, calendars, accounting, and social — so you keep your favourites while replacing everything else.
