Trusted by thousands of sports businesses

Our experience with Upper Hand has been very positive from the standpoint that we have someone who is in this with us. A lot of times, when you partner with other companies, their vested interests and ideas are ‘this is what we think.’ To have Upper Hand be on our side and say ‘we’re going to listen to what you have to bring to the table and the problems you’re facing, and we’re going to help come up with a solution together.’ That’s been very impactful.

Jimmy Carson

President & COO, Sogility

Since implementing Upper Hand, I have added a couple extra sessions to existing programs and I have also added two brand new programs, one of which is going to be a significant part of my business. It really comes down to how simple it is to get programs into the system and push them live for people to purchase. And, once everything is in the system, the management of everything is the real time saver.

Upper Hand sports has been fantastic for my business! They listen to their consumers and are constantly striving to make improvements. They have grown in their functionality each year I have used them and my clients like using it as well. Every time I make a suggestion they work as fast as they can to make software updates. Top-notch customer service and professionalism.

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!
