We know how difficult it is to run a children’s, family or youth activity centre. From bookings to payment management, each task takes up some of the precious time that you could be spending on what really matters: growing your business and delivering amazing experiences for families.
In an increasingly digital world, kids activity providers need technology tools that are not only powerful, but also easy to use and designed specifically for their industry. If you organise classes, camps, workshops, events or celebrations for children, young people or families, and you want to simplify your day-to-day life while growing your business, toddl.co is the solution you’ve been looking for.
In this blog, we tell you how our solution can help you optimise the management of your centre and, at the same time, improve your customers’ experience.
What is toddl.co?
toddl.co is an e-commerce solution designed exclusively for children’s and youth activity centres. Our booking software allows you to digitise bookings, automate payments, centralise customer information and improve your digital presence across multiple channels all in one place.
Unlike other SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions, toddl.co is 100% designed for businesses who organise classes, camps, workshops, themed events or celebrations for children, families and young people.
Why did we start toddl.co?
At toddl.co, we’ve been working with more than 1000 children’s, family and youth activity centres over the last decade to develop a digital solution tailored to their needs. We know that digitalisation in this sector is not just a trend, but a necessity to stay competitive and operate efficiently.
- 76% of families book children’s activities online and 43% of bookings in the education sector are made outside of business hours, meaning that many families are searching for and enrolling their children at night and on weekends. This represents a key opportunity for schools that have digital platforms available 24 hours a day, allowing them to receive bookings at any time and not miss out on opportunities.
- Parents, especially Millennials and Gen Z, expect to be able to manage everything online. Booking classes or activities for their children should be as easy and digital as booking a trip, a dinner or a hair appointment. They value convenience, simplicity and speed: they no longer want to deal with lengthy phone calls, emails or forms. They prefer a streamlined, intuitive and accessible booking experience from their mobile or computer, which they can complete in just a few clicks and on their own schedule.
- For activity centres, especially small and medium-sized ones, one of the biggest challenges is manual management. Many centres still rely on traditional methods, such as using spreadsheets or phone and email communications to manage bookings and payments. This is not only inefficient and error-prone, but also consumes valuable time that could be spent on improving other areas of their businesses.
What centres really need is a tool that centralises all of their operations, allowing them to manage bookings and payments in a streamlined way. That’s where toddl.co comes in: our booking software offers a one-stop solution to centralise everything in one place and to regain agility, efficiency and control.
