Memberships, access control, and class bookings—recurring revenue clarity with front-desk speed and member self-service that scales.

Run memberships like a product—not a binder of expiring cards

We model plans, family add-ons, freezes, and proration with dunning that respects payment failures without embarrassing members at the door. Check-in integrates with badge, QR, or biometric readers where installed; class schedules avoid double-booked studios. Retail POS for merchandise and supplements can share the member profile—one receipt trail for support.
