New Martial Arts Software Features, Call Center Enhancements Elevate Studio Operations & Member Experience
As a martial arts business owner, you certainly understand the importance of staying organized and efficient to succeed. However, it can be nearly impossible to find time in your day to handle all the tasks that need to be done. From managing class schedules to keeping track of student progress, the demands on your time can be overwhelming.
It doesn’t have to be that way though.
Imagine a world where managing your martial arts business is no longer a time-consuming task.
A world where your business always runs at peak efficiency.
A world where you have all the time to give to your students, your staff, your business, your friends, your family — and yourself.
That’s the world we want for you, and that’s why our 2022 focus was developing self-service tools for your members. After all, the more tools your members have, the more efficient your operations, the greater the member experience, and lighter the administrative load for you and your team.
Here we share the highlights of 2022 — and all the greatness of the Member Portal’s self-service tools for members — along with a glimpse of the exciting new features to come.
2022 Highlights
Mobile-Responsive Feature Makes Sign-Ups Quick & Easy
Part of the Member Portal in our martial arts software, the new mobile-responsive sign-up feature allows members to enroll, renew, or upgrade a membership, sign a membership agreement, and complete a transaction on their phone, tablet, desktop, or laptop — in less than a minute!
Simple Online Scheduling Makes Class Bookings a Breeze
Part of the Member Portal, the new mobile-responsive scheduling feature allows members to book classes from their tablet, desktop, laptop, or phone — anytime, anywhere. Over 10,000 classes have been booked since simple scheduling was released in Sept. 2022!
7 New Account Liaisons Joined Our Member Call Center Team
Excellence in service delivery is at the heart of what we do. That’s why in 2022, we expanded our call center team by 60% to ensure continued high-quality service and quick response times for our clients’ members.

Account Updater Service Reduces Credit Card Declines, Ensures Steady Revenue
Part of our full-service billing solution for martial arts schools and fitness gyms, the Account Updater service prevents declines of recurring payments by updating member card data when cardholder information changes or expires. More than 7,000 payment profiles were updated in 2022 to ensure continual, steady revenue to client businesses.

Optimized Marketplace Boosts Pro Shop Sales
The newly-optimized Marketplace was created to provide martial arts business owners and fitness business owners their very own online pro shop to sell gear, apparel, memberships, and programs — plus track zero-dollar items like intro classes and trial offerings. More than $50,000 has been processed through the Member Portal Marketplace since its release in Sept. 2022!
