Getting leisure operators ready for a record-breaking summer

Booking peaks, staffing shortages and guests who expect a five-star app. How we helped three UK resort groups prepare.

Getting leisure operators ready for a record-breaking summer

The British summer of 2025 was the busiest on record for our leisure customers. Three of them came to us in March asking the same question: can our software cope?

We did three things. We hardened the booking pipeline against thundering-herd peaks. We rebuilt the staff rota tool around a single 'today' screen. And we shipped a guest-facing PWA so families weren't asked to download yet another app.

The result: zero booking outages across the bank holidays, and an NPS bump of 14 points across the group.
