The product

Everything you need to run your programme.

Six core modules designed around how activity businesses actually operate.

Drag-and-drop timetabling with conflict detection, room management, and term planning. Build complex schedules in minutes.

Automated payments

Stripe-powered billing with automatic reminders, failed payment recovery, and full reconciliation. No more chasing invoices.

Parent portal

24/7 self-service booking, progress tracking, and direct messaging. Parents get what they need without calling your office.

Registers and attendance

Digital registers with skill tracking, progression badges, and certificates. Teachers mark attendance from any device.

Communication hub

Targeted messaging by class, group, or individual. Automated notifications keep parents informed without manual effort.

Reporting and insights

Real-time analytics across all locations and programmes. Know your occupancy, revenue, and retention at a glance.

Progression tracking that parents actually see.

Custom skill frameworks, real-time assessments, and digital badges — visible to parents the moment they're awarded.

AMES progression tracking — student skill framework view

Custom skill frameworks

Define progression stages for any activity type. Swimming levels, dance grades, belt ranks — your framework, your language.

Teacher-led assessments

Teachers assess on a tablet during class. Results sync instantly to admin and the parent portal.

Digital badges and certificates

Auto-generated when a child meets criteria. Parents receive them immediately — no printing, no delays.

Parent visibility

No more 'how is my child doing?' calls. Parents see progress, notes, and achievements in their portal.

Communication

Five channels. One inbox.

SMS, email, in-app messages, voice calls, and automated notifications. No more Mailchimp, WhatsApp groups, or missed calls. One platform, every channel.

AMES communication hub — unified inbox with SMS and email

Automated email sequences, templates, and bulk campaigns. Track opens and delivery.

Inbound and outbound calling built in — hold music, call routing, and voicemail without bolting on a third-party dialer.

AMES Pay

Payments that collect themselves.

AMES Pay is our built-in payments product — one setup, one processing fee, one dashboard. Powered by Stripe Connect for cards and GoCardless for direct debit underneath, so the money moves on rails you already trust.

Card payments

Powered by Stripe Connect

  • Instant checkout for one-off bookings and top-ups
  • Apple Pay and Google Pay built in
  • Full PCI DSS compliance — zero liability for you

Direct debit

Powered by GoCardless

  • Automated mandate setup — parents authorise once
  • Failed payment recovery with smart retry logic
  • Lower transaction fees ideal for recurring class fees

Both rails built into AMES Pay. One processing fee, no hidden charges, no second dashboard to manage.

Built for one location. Ready for twenty.

Whether you run a single studio or a national franchise, AMES scales with your ambition.

Multi-site management

Run every location from one dashboard. Shared member databases, cross-site bookings, and individual reporting per centre.

Role-based access

Owners, managers, teachers, and reception staff each see exactly what they need. Nothing more, nothing less.

Data boundaries

Tenant isolation means each organisation's data is completely separate. Enterprise-grade security without enterprise complexity.

Franchise ready

Consistent branding, shared templates, and centralised oversight with local autonomy. Scale your model without losing control.

Workflow automation

Automate repetitive tasks — rebooking reminders, payment chasing, staff notifications, waitlist management. Set it once, let it run.

Accounting integration

Sync payments, invoices, and payroll directly to Xero or QuickBooks. No double-entry, no reconciliation headaches.
