IYG offers travel teams, private lessons, weight training, camps, clinics, and various development programs.
Before Swift: Manual Mess
Prior to joining Swift, IYG tracked all their memberships manually and collected payments with checks. This quickly became very tedious and time-consuming for Tyler.
As the business grew, so did the challenges around operations. Tracking incoming revenue manually had become overwhelming, and as a result - the IYG team was losing key rental opportunities to outside teams and players.
Bookings were also challenging as he describes:
Enter Swift: Getting Setup
With a large group of coaches & staff under Tyler, the ease of use of Swift was a big advantage. He was able to get his entire team trained and set up within a few hours. Noting that the centralized drag & drop calendar has made it easy for everyone on his team to manage their bookings despite the wide range of computer skills.
After covering the basics, Tyler told us he keeps learning “new things all the time” as the Swift engineering team is constantly making improvements to the product built on feedback from clients like him.
The Results: A Home Run
Within a few months of joining Swift, IYG has regained control over their growing businesses and automated their operations. With our nested spaces feature, Tyler and his team were able to maximize their space and offer new revenue-driven activities.
