Booking, payments, and admin as one system

An out-of-school care provider was running enrolment, scheduling, and payments across separate subscriptions. We replaced the stack with a single platform — parents pick a programme and pay in the same flow.

The problem

Out-of-school care runs entirely on scheduling: which child, which session, which venue, paid or not. They were holding that together across several paid tools that didn't talk to each other — paying for each one, and reconciling the gaps by hand. Parents felt the seams too, which matters when families are choosing who they trust with their kids.

What we did about it

We rebuilt it from scratch as one system rather than wiring the existing tools together more tightly. Tiered programmes, full-term subscriptions, and one-off sessions all run through the same booking flow with payment handled inline. The interface was redesigned alongside it — for a service parents choose partly on how credible it looks, the UI is not cosmetic.

Where it is now

Engagement extended — native Android and iOS apps are built and handed over. The store release date is the client's call.
