Operational pressure

You know the work.
We know the admin.

The best software does not add another dashboard to check. It removes the fragile handoffs that slow your team down.

The details are different for every activity. Explore the everyday challenges behind the admin.

01

Daily schedule complexity

Coordinating a full day of varied activities across rooms, fields and halls means juggling many moving parts on paper or spreadsheets.Explore the challenge

Activity leaders need to match qualifications, since a football coach cannot simply swap into the archery slot, and moving between venues eats into session time when it is poorly planned. Wet-weather plans must be ready at short notice, moving outdoor activities indoors without doubling up on rooms already in use. Mixed-age rotations add another layer: younger children rotate on shorter cycles, while older groups follow longer specialist sessions. Specialist coaches' availability rarely lines up with the rest of your timetable, and one change cascades through the whole day.

02

Medical and dietary information

When you are responsible for children across a full-day camp, managing medical and dietary needs goes far beyond a list of allergies.Explore the challenge

Staff trained to use an adrenaline auto-injector need to be with the groups that include children at risk of anaphylaxis, and identifiable throughout the session. Medication given during the day needs recording carefully, which is hard to do consistently on paper. Food preparation for allergies needs clear protocols that every volunteer understands. Staff familiarity with emergency procedures varies, and without a record of who is trained in what, you are relying on memory in the moments when accuracy matters most.

03

Flexible booking patterns

Holiday camps and after-school clubs rarely follow a neat term-by-term enrolment cycle.Explore the challenge

Parents need to book individual days, full weeks or a mix of sessions around their childcare. Childcare vouchers and Tax-Free Childcare add admin, with each scheme needing its own reconciliation. Employer partnerships bring bulk bookings that do not fit your standard payment workflow. Families with several children expect sibling discounts applied without a phone call. Last-minute bookings on the morning of a session are common, and capacity and medical details need confirming on the spot. Cancellations and refunds must follow a consistent policy, but exceptions and credits are a daily reality that spreadsheets handle badly.

04

Staff-to-child ratio compliance

Ratio requirements shift through the day and across age groups, which makes manual tracking a constant source of anxiety.Explore the challenge

Younger children need more adults per child than older ones, and the exact ratios depend on your registration and the activity. A qualified first aider needs to be present wherever children are active, not just somewhere on site. Higher-risk activities such as swimming bring their own ratios and qualified supervision. Staff breaks must be covered so ratios never dip below the minimum, even briefly, and a single uncovered absence can put your registration at risk if an inspector arrives at the wrong moment.

What changes with AMES

Built around
your multi-sport business.

A connected operating layer for bookings, payments, progress, communication, and team oversight.

Holiday Club & Activity Camp Booking

Put camp days, after-school clubs and one-off sessions on one timetable, each with its own capacity, and let parents book the days they need in AMES Connect.Explore this capability

Drop-in sessions can be paid for as families go, sibling discounts follow the rules you set, and full sessions offer the waiting list, with a freed place offered to the next family automatically. Health and medical notes are kept on each child's record, and parents can update them in the app.

Read the guide

Multi-Sport Scheduling Across Venues

Run every venue from one AMES account, with sessions for each activity on a shared timetable and reports you can filter by centre.Explore this capability

Require a qualification for the activities that need one, so assigning a leader without it is blocked or flagged, and post sessions that need cover as open shifts that qualified staff can pick up in AMES Teach. If a session has to be cancelled, the cancellation wizard notifies every affected family by email or SMS.

Direct Debit & Card Payments for Sports Clubs

Take camp and club payments by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through AMES Pay, and collect regular after-school fees by GoCardless Direct Debit.Explore this capability

Charge per day, per session or per term, or sell credits families use across sessions. Sibling discounts follow your rules, failed payments are retried automatically with the parent told, and each family sees what they have paid in AMES Connect. AMES does not process childcare vouchers or Tax-Free Childcare.

Parent Communication App for Kids Activities

AMES Connect gives parents their child's bookings, payments, receipts and messages in one app, with noticeboard updates and push notifications for changes on the day.Explore this capability

Staff can take class photos in AMES Teach, which alerts them to children without photo consent, and families can see shared photos in AMES Connect. Live availability lets parents add extra days without phoning your office.

Read the guide

Class Registers & Attendance Tracking

Staff take registers in AMES Teach with a tap for each child, and the register flags children with medical notes, office notes and first sessions, so leaders see what matters as groups arrive.Explore this capability

Attendance is recorded against each child's record, and parents keep health and medical notes current in AMES Connect. AMES does not keep medication administration logs.

Read the guide

Staff Scheduling & Qualifications

Record each team member's DBS check, first aid, safeguarding training and activity qualifications with expiry dates and the certificate uploaded as evidence, and see everything that has expired or is due to on one page.Explore this capability

Staff clock in, see their shifts and pick up open shifts in AMES Teach, and incidents and safeguarding concerns can be recorded on the spot. AMES does not calculate staff-to-child ratios.

More about AMES for multi-sport

AMES is built for multi-sport and holiday club providers who need clear records across every venue and session. Whether you run a single-site summer camp or several venues, bookings, medical notes, safeguarding records, staff qualifications and parent communication sit in one platform, with one login for each person.

Getting started

We help untangle the admin. You keep running classes.

Migration, configuration and launch support come as standard — with real people who know how activity businesses actually run. No consultant fees. No being left to work it out alone.

Step 01

We migrate your data

Spreadsheets or an export from another platform: send what you have and our team imports your classes, members and balances, so you do not rebuild from scratch.

02
Step 02

We configure it with you

A real person sets up payments, registers, staff access and your parent portal alongside you, so the disconnected pieces become one connected system.

03
Step 03

We stay with you after launch

Launch-week check-ins, answers when parents ask something new, and a human on the other end of a message when you need help. AMES should make the operation calmer, not give you another system to manage.

Security & Compliance

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.

Enterprise-grade security

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.

PCI DSS compliant payments

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.

GDPR-ready data practices

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.

Managed cloud infrastructure

Built for the hours your business runs

AMES runs on Vercel's global edge network with automatic scaling, and keeps its data on Supabase's managed database platform.

Zero data lock-in

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.

Audit trail & compliance

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.

Integrations

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.

Gmail

Send and track parent emails from your existing inbox — conversations sync back to AMES so the whole team stays in the loop.

Outlook

Connect Microsoft 365 mailboxes for staff communication and parent threads — messages flow into the AMES inbox automatically.

Facebook

Reply to comments and DMs from one inbox, schedule posts, and track engagement against enrolment growth.

Instagram
