What you run with avoo
One platform for the whole studio day. Every feature is described in detail on the Features page.
Instructor pool
Open classes without a fixed instructor go into a pool: available instructors see them instantly and pick them up themselves. No more WhatsApp hunt for cover.
Fully integrated studio website
Your own branded website with a section builder (hero, classes, schedule, team, passes, shop, FAQ, contact), booking built right in, no second website tool.
Your own app: included, no store needed
A fully branded member app from day one: add it to the home screen via a link, every feature included, updates itself, works offline: no store download, no waiting for app review. Optionally a real listing in the App Store & Play Store under your own account: then the app belongs to you, not us, not a half-finished template app under someone else’s roof.
Digital signage
TV or tablet displays for reception and entrance: schedule, upcoming classes, workshop promo. Pair a screen via QR; the screen itself needs no login.
TakeAway
Pre-order snacks & drinks before or after training, pick up and pay at reception, including add-ons per item.
POS / combined sale
Point of sale at reception: passes, shop items, TakeAway and vouchers on one invoice and one payment.
Automatic instructor payroll
Instructor pay per activity, appointment or workshop, calculated automatically from classes held and attendance.
No booking commission
A fixed monthly price instead of a percentage per booking. You pay the transaction fees directly to your payment provider.
Marketing automation (journeys)
Multi-step automated flows: welcome series, win-back of inactive members, pass expiry, abandoned-cart reminder, birthday. Ready-made templates, runs by itself.
Lead funnel / mini-CRM
Move prospects from first enquiry to membership (pipeline), with 1-click conversion and a conversion rate.
