BOSS with club management software Sportivity
What once started as a solution for membership administration in the leisure industry has grown into a complete club management system. This growth reflects the driving force behind B.O.S.S.: “We are in a continuous search to improve our software and customer service,” says Nike from B.O.S.S. The software provider helps fitness clubs, climbing and bouldering gyms, wellness centers, and swimming pools manage their membership administration.
"By bringing together our technologies and expertise in the leisure industry, we are creating a rock-solid solution for organizations seeking greater convenience in digital payments."
— Flip Roose, e-commerce consultant at Buckaroo
IT at heart, sports and commerce in the blood
Why is innovation so important to B.O.S.S? Nike Hijmans, CCO of B.O.S.S., explains: “With the help of our new solutions, we hope our clients can focus even more on their core activities.” This proved especially important during the COVID lockdowns in recent years.
On two separate occasions, government policies surrounding the pandemic led to the closure of all sports facilities. As a result, B.O.S.S.’s clients were hit hard. “Since reopening, we have seen a nationwide increase in membership numbers again, although levels have not yet returned to where they were before the first lockdown. Fortunately, the industry is resilient.”
Sportivity
Since 2015, Sportivity has been the club management platform for ambitious entrepreneurs in the leisure industry. An integration between Sportivity and Buckaroo’s portal enables an automated payment process. This saves time and creates new opportunities. Thanks to the integration, payments can be made via iDEAL, and soon also through direct debit. Flip Roose, e-commerce consultant at Buckaroo, is involved in this payment solution in collaboration with B.O.S.S. He explains: “By combining our technologies and expertise in the leisure industry, we are creating a rock-solid solution for organizations seeking greater convenience in digital payments.”
Looking ahead, B.O.S.S. is keeping a close eye on new developments in the payments landscape. Nike says: “Thanks to our collaboration with Buckaroo, the traditional way of collecting payments is a thing of the past. We are always looking for innovative solutions, and through this partnership we are reducing administrative tasks. In addition, we definitely see a future in expanding digital payment options, such as payments via QR codes. Our goal is to digitalize payments as much as possible.”
Collaboration is the future
B.O.S.S. aims to continue innovating its services. From a technical perspective, the company’s future plans include further developing its software and building a new app with even more features. At the same time, the software provider also wants to grow its service offering. For example, B.O.S.S. is working on an improved onboarding process for new entrepreneurs. In addition, B.O.S.S. continues to expand and deepen the integrations within Sportivity. “In our vision, an all-in-one solution is no longer the best fit for the industry.”
According to Nike, the future will ultimately revolve around collaboration: “Working together with specialists across different fields creates a combination of the best available products for entrepreneurs. Strategic partnerships and stable integrations are the foundation for the future.”
The drive to keep growing is something B.O.S.S. also shares with its customers, which include fitness clubs, climbing and bouldering gyms, wellness centers, and swimming pools. These are often organizations with an innovative mindset that choose B.O.S.S. software. According to Nike, this is also at the core of the collaboration between B.O.S.S. and Buckaroo: “Like B.O.S.S., Buckaroo is a pioneer — an organization that was among the first to start automating processes. In addition, we share another common value: we both place great importance on strategic partnerships. Buckaroo supported B.O.S.S. in the search for the best solution for the leisure industry — a solution that is future-proof.”
