Campus recreation and facility management for universities

What a university recreation service needs

A university runs sport and recreation as a real operation. There is a gym, there are pools and courts, there are members who hold ongoing access and casual users who pay on entry, and there is a point of sale for retail and programs. Access to those facilities has to be controlled so that only valid members and pass holders get in.

Run that on a mix of a spreadsheet membership list, a separate booking tool and a standalone till and the picture fragments. Memberships do not line up with who actually walks in, bookings live apart from billing, and access control has no idea who is current. Cohiva Complex brings memberships, bookings, point of sale and access control into one platform.

What Complex does for universities

Complex is full-featured management software for aquatic and leisure facilities, and a campus recreation service is exactly that kind of operation. For a university that means:

Memberships for students, staff and the public, managed in one place.
Casual entry for users who pay per visit rather than holding a membership.
Bookings for courts, pools and other campus facilities.
Point of sale for retail, programs and anything else the centre sells.
Access control that ties entry to a valid membership or pass.

Because memberships, bookings, point of sale and access control sit in one platform, the person who holds a membership is the person who gets through the gate and the person whose sales are recorded. There is no gap between the list and the door.

Built for multi-facility campuses

A campus recreation service often spans several facilities, from the main gym to outdoor courts and aquatic centres. Complex is built for operators running several venues, so a university manages all its recreation facilities from one platform rather than a separate system per site.

Where this sits in your operation

Complex is the operational core for campus recreation. A university with a large estate to maintain can pair it with campus asset and maintenance management from Control, so recreation operations and facility upkeep share one data layer.

The solutions for universities page shows the wider bundle, and you can explore Complex for the product detail.

Who it is for

Complex suits universities running campus sport and recreation facilities, and that want memberships, casual entry, bookings, point of sale and access control in one platform rather than spread across separate tools.
