MAKE WORK
for you
by Jamie Baringer, CAM, CAP, CAO F
ifteen years ago when I started working in the ice indus- try, arenas that used technology/computer software to run their business were few and far between. Te future is now!
Regardless of the size of your arena — one sheet or eight, sea- sonal or year-round — everyone should be using technology and computers to help run their business. Most arenas are operating on lean budgets, doing more with
less and demanding increased efficiencies. Technology can help us streamline all of the functions we need to successfully run our business and allow us to better focus on customer needs. Today’s software is far more than just a point-of-sale or schedul- ing system. It can manage all of the following arena functions:
• Class enrollments • Facility scheduling • Contracts • Admissions tracking • Website updates • Video displays • Databases
• Concession and retail sales • Inventory • Accounting/budgeting • Energy use • Social media • Advertising
