Can my clients schedule themselves?

Yes! With Upper Hand, you can build out your program schedule or set your availability, empowering clients to book (and pay) from anywhere, on any device. This means less back and forth communication, and fewer missing payments. Not to mention the added convenience for your clients that improves their experience with your business.

But, if you’d rather manage all of your scheduling internally, we can help you manage that too! Ultimately, we provide the flexibility for you to run your business your way.

Do I have to pay for the number of admin users or resources?

Nope! With Upper Hand, we offer a few different price points that cater to different business models. From there, you can build out an unlimited number of events, add as many resources as you need, and invite as many staff members as you have.

How can Upper Hand support multiple locations?

Upper Hand offers a franchise software setup, supporting multi-location businesses that each operate separately. In this instance, you can build out separate instances for each location, which include that location’s programs, staff members, schedules, and more.

Additionally, Upper Hand also supports businesses who operate out of multiple spaces. For example, if you host practices at one of three parks in the area, you can denote which park each event or program will take place, ensuring you and your clients know where to be, and when.

What is Upper Hand’s support system?

Upper Hand is committed to providing support to both businesses and their clients, at any point in their journey.

At initial onboarding, admins are given access to Upper Hand University, Upper Hand’s on-demand, course-based learning platform. Here, admin users can dive into all of Upper Hand’s features in order to successfully launch their Upper Hand software.

Additionally, we offer a robust Help Center to dive into specific questions. Email, chat, and phone support are also available to both the business as well as their clients.

Is there a mobile app for my business? Is it included?

Yes! The Upper Hand mobile app is free to download for both the sports business and its clients. Upon logging in with your credentials, you’ll be directed to the specific business, where admins can manage all aspects of their business, and clients can book, and take action via their client profile.

If you’re interested in a white-labeled app experience, our Advanced Plan offers this feature.

P.S. There are not separate apps for clients and admins. All you need to download is the Upper Hand app in the App Store!
