>Scheduling


Te paper-and-pencil method with the overstuffed white binder (known in many facilities as “Te Ice Bible”) is a


thing of the past. Facility management software can help with scheduling the ice time for private rentals and arena programs, avoiding the risk of double bookings. Single-schedule viewing in multiple places in the facility is more efficient when multiple staff members need to see the schedule. Once ice is scheduled, customer schedules and contracts can be issued and emailed immediately. Live data can then be sent to websites for calendar updates and to lobby displays that show the daily schedule, locker room schedule, special announcements and arena program advertisements.

inform your current and potential customers about ice avail- ability, class and league offerings and program registration, and can even sell those miscellaneous hours when the manager may not be available to book the ice.

Te enrollment management component of software takes what use to be a multi-step/multi-person process down to one easy step and a click of the mouse. Te person entering the data has all session dates and times, and can see if classes are full or still open, register customers and take payment — all in one smooth step. Once the data is entered, a click of the mouse allows you to complete class lists, create certificates, easily move students from class to class and send confirmation, program updates and targeted email.

It happens everywhere, so do not be so naïve as to think it cannot happen to you! Having a computerized point-of-sale (POS) station can help reduce shrinkage. POS modules can track all transaction and inventory, allowing for spot audits and flag- ging variance. Public admission can be controlled by printing unique sticker or wristbands with date and time, session type and when the transition was completed. Managers control who
