Ski school

Private and group lessons without unnecessary mix-ups

Plan private and group lessons with a clear and intuitive planning chart. You will be able to sell lessons within a few seconds and make a reservation three months in advance. So you can quickly ensure lessons for your ski school clients without unnecessary mishaps.

Link your branches

Share information on the current instructor workload across all branches of the school. Sell learning effectively and expand your sales opportunities by engaging new outlets and on-line bookings.

Effective communication between the office, instructors and clients

Send instructors e-mails and text messages with information about the lessons, or to clients with a recapitulation of orders. Make a one-click calculation of instructor wage payments. Mates will provide key communication between the ski school office and individual instructors for you. With Mates, you get remote supervision of the operation of the ski school and a high level of mobility.

On-line interface for instructors

You will gain a tool for effective and personalized communication between the ski school's office and its instructors. Through a web application, the instructors look at their lessons' schedule, report their availability, and review their wage payments. And it does not burden the office at all. On the contrary, it will lighten its load considerably! Provide your team with top-notch facilities..

Lesson schedule

Instructors will immediately see all their lessons in the system a day ahead and five days back. For each lesson, they will see in detail when the training will take place, where the meeting point is, who the client is, how advanced the client is and whether it is skiing, snowboarding, or a kid's school.

Planning availability

Instructors enter information about their availability. The ski school's office does not have to call up individual instructors, again saving time. You will have the instructor availability in one overview table.

Overview of wage payments

Instructors can see their wage payments. So, they have an overview and control over what their remuneration will be. They thus control the running of the school office, and office workers are also not unnecessarily burdened on their account.

Client database

A well-built client database of contacts is a valuable resource for further marketing activities as well as smooth day-to-day operations. Mates will help you with that.

Information about clients

Mates will allow you to store basic identification data about clients, contacts, but also a document number, age, or nationality.

Quick search

Searching among existing clients is quick and easy. Mates searches by name, surname, phone number, and customer identification number.

Order history

For each client, you will see the history of their orders, their overall credit, what kind of lessons he/she has completed and what he/she has borrowed in the rental shop, including, for example, shoe size.

Loyalty program

Build a loyalty program for your clients and motivate them to increase their loyalty. Recognize those who come back to you and pamper them.

Client's creditworthiness

With each closed order, Mates calculates the client's creditworthiness - how much he/she has spent and how many orders were realized.

Client groups

Mates can categorize clients into groups that you can use when segmenting your customer base. You can either assign the client groups manually or let Mates do this on the basis of the rules you specify, based on the number and value of the orders made.

Discounts according to the creditworthiness

Based on the creditworthiness of the client and his/her discount group, Mates automatically applies pre-set discounts. For example, a client who spends at least 10,000 CZK gets a 5% discount at the rental shop and 7% at the ski school. VIP clients who spend over 100 thousand crowns receive a 15% discount on everything.

Check-in terminal

Speed up the client check-in process, get their contact details, and have them agree to the general terms and conditions. Everything simply through an application in the colors and graphics of your school.

Collection of contact information

Mates offers a web application for the independent registration of clients: a so-called check-in terminal. This can be started, for example, on a tablet or PC in the premises where clients are waiting for check-in. While clients are waiting in the queue, they enter their name, surname, and basic contact information. By the time the client's turn comes, his/her contacts will already be available in Mates. This will speed up client clearance at the branch, and you will have complete and accurate contact and identification information about your clients.

Individual settings and appearance

We will set up the check-in terminal in your school graphics. The first contact with your school simply has to make a positive impression.

Agreement with the GTC, compatibility with GDPR

At the same time, by entering their contact information, the client will also demonstrably (and traceably) agree with the general terms and conditions. This step covers your back not only from the perspective of the forthcoming GDPR legislation.

Safety and availability

Authentication and authorization

Each user has a unique login and password. Besides, it is possible to set the level of authorization in Mates for each user, concerning which agendas they can work with and which ones they can't.

Encrypted communication

All communication between you and Mates is encrypted with digital certificates that are used, for example, in accessing Internet banking.

Backup and emergency plan

Data is backed up several times a day. In case of an unexpected, major accident, the data will be available in the backup datacenter tens of kilometers away.

Hi-end data center

Mates runs in the best data center, which is widely available. Servers, databases, and other system components run on the Amazon Web Services infrastructure.

Simply in the cloud

All safely in a cloud environment. Immediate synchronization. No data on local computers. All you need is a web browser and Internet access.

Data in the cloud

Mates runs in a cloud environment. There is no need to install anything complex, but the main thing is that it's not necessary to buy a corporate server and look after it. It is often necessary to hire an IT person to manage the server itself. With Mates, there's no need for this.

High mobility

To run Mates, you only need a web browser and Internet access, which gives you great mobility and flexibility. Work in the office during the day, check out the latest changes from home in the evenings, and when you're on the road, you'll learn what's going on in your school over your mobile phone or tablet.

Immediate synchronization

All changes are instantly stored on the central servers and projected to other colleagues who work with Mates. That means they can share orders, the chart with the plan of lessons or new clients, whether they are in one office or on opposite ends of the premises.

Remote control

Mates will give you a complete insight into what's happening at your ski school, even if you're not physically there.
