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

Drop-in versus membership tracking

Some students buy class packs, others have unlimited memberships, and walk-ins pay per session, so tracking credits, expiry dates and usage across all three is a juggling act.Explore the challenge

Class packs come with their own expiry policies, and students regularly ask for extensions or freezes they believe they are owed. Freeze requests spike around school holidays and in January, and each one means adjusting billing. Introductory offers attract new students, but without tracking, the same person can redeem an intro rate more than once. Corporate wellness partnerships add different billing, different class access and monthly reporting. The result is a patchwork of pricing exceptions that eats hours every week and still lets revenue slip through the gaps.

02

Teacher cover and substitute management

When a teacher is unavailable, finding a qualified cover teacher, telling students and updating the schedule needs to happen quickly and reliably.Explore the challenge

Style matters: a yin teacher cannot simply step into a power vinyasa class without students noticing. Regular attendees grow attached to particular teachers and may cancel when they see a substitute listed, especially for small-group sessions. Last-minute illness cover early in the morning means frantic messages to your teachers, hoping someone is awake, available and insured to teach at your venue. Pay rates often differ by style, experience and class size, so every substitution changes the cost of that session too.

03

Multi-style and level scheduling

Hatha, vinyasa, yin, kids yoga and pregnancy yoga all need different room set-ups, props and class sizes, and scheduling them efficiently across shared spaces takes constant attention.Explore the challenge

Heated classes need rooms that are warmed in advance, so you cannot simply slot a hot class between two unheated ones without a buffer. Props vary widely: a restorative class needs bolsters, blankets and straps for everyone, while a power flow needs clear floor space. Capacity depends on both the room and the style, since a restorative class feels full long before a power class in the same room. Every scheduling decision ripples into set-up time, teacher preparation and student expectations.

04

Community engagement and retention

Students drift away without regular contact, and knowing who has not been in for a while, who is about to run out of credits and who might leave requires data you cannot easily see.Explore the challenge

Workshops and events help students feel part of the studio, yet many studios cannot see who comes to them. A student who regularly attends more classes than their membership covers may be ready for a different plan, but the signal is easy to miss. Seasonal dips in attendance are predictable, yet without timely messages, studios lose students who simply fall out of the habit. Marking milestones by hand across a large student base is impractical.

What changes with AMES

Built around
your yoga business.

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

Yoga Class Scheduling & Booking Software

Schedule recurring classes by style and level, and add workshops and one-off sessions to the same timetable.Explore this capability

Each class has its own capacity, students see live availability and book in AMES Connect, full classes offer the waiting list, and a freed place is offered to the next student automatically with a time limit to accept. New students can book an introductory trial at the price you set.

Yoga Membership Management Software

Sell memberships, class packs as credits, drop-in passes and introductory offers side by side.Explore this capability

Introductory offers can be limited to new students and to one use per person. Memberships can be paused under your rules, students see their remaining credits and bookings in AMES Connect, and members can check in at the front desk with the membership card QR code in the app.

Yoga Payments & UK Direct Debit

Collect memberships by GoCardless Direct Debit, and class packs, drop-ins and workshops by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through AMES Pay.Explore this capability

Failed payments are retried automatically with the student told, renewals that fail show on your dashboard, and every payment sits with the student's bookings, so you can see who has paid without a spreadsheet.

Read the guide

Student Booking Portal & Community App

AMES Connect gives students their bookings, memberships, credits, payments and messages in one app.Explore this capability

They can book and cancel classes, see workshops alongside the regular timetable, read noticeboard updates and studio news, and message your team. Push notifications and automated messages keep students in touch without you sending each one by hand.

Read the guide

Yoga Teacher Scheduling & Cover Management

Record each teacher's qualifications, DBS check and first aid with expiry dates, and require a qualification for the classes that need it, so an unqualified cover assignment is blocked or flagged.Explore this capability

When cover is needed, post the class as an open shift that teachers see in AMES Teach. Teachers clock in and see their shifts on their phone, and timesheets are built from their clock-ins, ready for approval.

Yoga Attendance Tracking & Retention Insights

Teachers take registers in AMES Teach, so attendance builds up on every student's record.Explore this capability

Automated messages can go out on the triggers you choose, such as a credit balance running low, a renewal coming up, a member who left a set number of days ago or a birthday, so students hear from you at the right moment. Reports show attendance by class and student.

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.

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.
