Customer story

How Inge Performance Lab Filled Its Cages

Inge Performance Lab trains baseball and softball players year round. Cage rentals, private lessons, and team sessions used to live in different places. Now they run on one calendar. A parent books a lesson, the cage is held, the waiver is signed on their phone, and the payment lands before anyone walks in. The front desk spends its time on players instead of the schedule.

"The platform has been a great fit for managing scheduling, rentals, lessons, and overall sports facility operations. One of the biggest things that stands out is how responsive and supportive their staff has been as we continue building and growing our programs." Rich Dell, Inge Performance Lab · 5-star Google review
