Gladstone overview

What is Gladstone?

Gladstone provides all-in-one leisure and membership management software to leisure and sports clubs, which includes tools for managing members, marketing, scheduling, payment processing, administration, facilities, and more. We partner with leisure centres, sports facilities, gyms, educational institutions, and health clubs across the UK and Ireland to streamline leisure management.

By combining a booking and joining software, self-service kiosks, access controls, and administrative backend tools, Gladstone facilitates management of the entire customer journey, and allows businesses to tailor the solution to their needs. Gladstone’s software can also be used on a tablet or integrated with kiosk software to provide a self-service reception within the facility. Our new cloud software, GladstoneGo streamlines the traditional booking and joining user journey and is mobile optimised so users can book and join on the go.

Key benefits of using Gladstone

  • Manage backend administration tasks which offer tools for processing payments, collecting debt, managing calendars, scheduling resources, validating data, and more.

  • Facilitate client self-service through online booking, as well as via kiosks within the centre. Clients can make bookings, carry out payments, print tickets and wristbands, and more using the kiosk hardware, or through tablets.

  • Generate reports using dedicated reporting software with tools for manipulating data, designing and storing commonly used reports, querying live data, and generating custom SQL queries.

  • Maintain communication with clients and members using tools such as feedback collection, personalized in-app message sending via email and SMS, and social media integration.

  • Manage, acquire, schedule, and take payments for leisure activities via debit or credit card
