As a sports club manager, you are responsible for keeping things running smoothly and ensuring members are happy. You are probably busy with memberships, space organisation, employees, equipment management and maintenance, and above all, ensuring member satisfaction.

However, traditional key management systems often worsen the challenges. With a sizable number of club members, trainers, and staff, managing access, and keys becomes time-consuming. Constantly dealing with key handovers and lost keys adds to the complexity of running a sports club.

Sports club managers face numerous challenges, but let's zoom in on the ones related to access management. Two problems stand out in particular:

• Diverse access requirements: In sports clubs, the challenge lies in managing the diverse access requirements of club members, trainers, canteen staff, and service providers. From trainers needing continuous access to equipment to members requiring entry to facilities like changing rooms, fitness areas, tennis courts, or swimming pools, accommodating these varied access levels presents a significant challenge.
• Security of personal belongings: At a sports club, members and supporters should have effortless access to the grounds. With such a diverse mix of people, ensuring secure storage in the locker room is very important. Without proper access control, there's a heightened risk of theft or break-ins. Naturally, the priority is to prevent such incidents and safeguard the personal belongings of our members.

Key management can become more secure, more flexible, and less time-consuming when using a digital access management solution. This smart access solution benefits managers, club members, trainers, canteen staff, and service providers.

Bold Smart Lock offers the most user-friendly, professional access management solution. Installing the Bold Smart Lock takes just 5 minutes and ensures optimal security for your sports club. Let us help you and explain more about our solution and what it can mean for your business.

We will keep it short and sweet, summarising the benefits for you as a sports club manager in 6 bullet points:

Digital key management
Bold introduces a digital key management system that empowers managers to authorise users' access to devices seamlessly. Through the Bold app, club members, trainers, canteen staff, and service providers can effortlessly unlock designated doors with a simple click. Meanwhile, administrators can monitor activities in real-time, facilitating immediate logging of access history.

With a Bold Business Account, you gain access to the Bold Business Portal, which allows you to easily create and manage groups of users and locks with specific access rights.

Flexible access: Schedule or temporary options
Smart locks offer convenience with additional features that streamline access management. The Bold Smart Lock's 'schedule access' feature enables admins to customise access for individual users. Members can be granted access during their lessons or training sessions, and canteen staff can access the canteen during its operational hours. Moreover, you can grant 'temporary access' to individuals participating in trial lessons, for example.

Hassle-free member turnover
With Bold Smart Lock, club administrators can deactivate access for departing members and generate new digital keys for incoming ones. When a member cancels their subscription, you can effortlessly deactivate their access, ensuring there's no possibility of key duplication.

Grant or revoke access easily
You can remotely grant or revoke access permissions by integrating Bold Smart Locks. Whether you have new members requiring access to the grounds or premises, Bold Connect allows you to effortlessly lock and unlock doors remotely with top-level security via wifi.

Whenever, wherever
You can easily manage access control via the easy-to-use Bold app or in the Bold Business Portal (both accessible on mobile). These platforms allow you to oversee your business operations from anywhere.

The highest level of security
Bold incorporates security measures such as encryption, two-factor authentication, and audit trails to enhance key management security. We also hold the highest security rating with our SKG*** certificate. Additionally, we utilise the most cutting-edge security techniques and uphold the highest industry standards.

As previously noted, the benefits extend beyond just club administrators; club members will also enjoy a variety of advantages.

Convenience
Access all areas with just one app; no more juggling separate keys for the clubhouse, training facilities, and parking lot. Tailored access permissions are set for each area, guaranteeing convenient and secure entry to specific zones.

The Bold Smart Lock is completely keyless, so losing your key is impossible. But you might forget your smartphone sometimes, or the battery may have died. No need to worry — you can still get in if you’ve previously set a backup PIN code, which you can generate in the Bold App. You can enter the code by turning the outer knob, a bit like an old safe.

If you're not big on smartphones or find technology intimidating, for instance, older volunteers, the Bold Clicker is the ideal solution! This user-friendly device is a compact remote control that lets you effortlessly activate Bold Smart Locks with a simple push of a button.

Design
With its high-quality design, Bold ensures an upgrade in aesthetics and functionality for your door. It is available for all doors equipped with a Euro-cylinder.

The safest option to secure your belongings
Our Bold Smart Lock has an SKG*** certificate, guaranteeing top-tier security. Additionally, we've got you covered with the latest and greatest security techniques and standards. So, no need to worry!
