⚙️ Features

A complete solution for your sports equipment

Reservations

A simple and intelligent reservation system

Digitize the reservation of your sports courts and make them easier for residents to access. Anybuddy synchronizes the availability of your equipment and only displays the slots that are actually bookable.

Players can find an available sports court and make their reservation in just a few clicks.

Your community maintains control over:

  • the equipment offered
  • open slots
  • available times
  • booking conditions
  • the prices applied
Public Match

Make it easier for players to connect

The Public Match allows a player to offer an open game to other members of the Anybuddy community. Participants can join the match and pay for their place individually directly from the app.

This feature helps remove one of the main obstacles to practicing sports: not having a partner to play with.

An effective solution to create links between players and encourage regular use of equipment.

Payments

Simple, secure payments tailored to your organization

Anybuddy supports the entire payment journey: online booking, individual or shared payment, transaction tracking and booking history.

The platform also adapts to the financial functioning of your community with two collection methods:

Automatic payout

The community's share is paid directly into their account, while the Anybuddy commission is deducted automatically.

Classic billing

The community collects 100% of the revenue and Anybuddy then invoices for its service provision.

Our teams support your financial services in order to implement the solution best suited to your organization and your accounting procedures.

Access control

Make your equipment accessible independently

Anybuddy is compatible with the main access control systems (badges, digital codes, connected locks, etc.).

Are you already equipped?

We adapt to your existing installation.

You're not?

Concrete indicators to measure the performance of your equipment and guide your decisions.

❓FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Should we create a revenue authority?

No. Anybuddy integrates with your community's existing financial procedures, without requiring the creation of a dedicated revenue authority. Our teams work in conjunction with financial services to define the operating mode best suited to your organization.

Is there a need for a public contract?

No. Anybuddy's business model is generally based on a commission charged only when a reservation is made. There is therefore neither compulsory subscription nor initial investment for the community. Depending on your organization and the planned project, an agreement may be sufficient or a specific procedure may be necessary. Our teams support you to identify the most suitable legal framework.

How are payments managed?

Two operating modes are possible. Automatic payment (Stripe Connect): during each reservation, the share due to the community is paid directly into their Stripe account, while the Anybuddy commission is deducted automatically. Collection by the community: the community receives 100% of the revenue and Anybuddy then invoices its service provision according to the agreed terms. We adapt to your accounting and financial procedures.

Should the community open a Stripe account?

Only under the automatic payout model, and this opening is managed by Anybuddy. Opening a Stripe account is quick and meets regulatory obligations (KYC). Our teams support the community in this process and ensure complete configuration.

Are payments secure?

Yes. Payments are processed by Stripe, a global online payment player, PCI DSS certified, used by thousands of public and private organizations. No banking data is stored by Anybuddy.

Do the proceeds pass through Anybuddy's bank account?

No. In the automatic payment model, funds intended for the community are paid directly into their Stripe account. Anybuddy only keeps its commission in accordance with the terms defined with the community.

Is the solution GDPR compliant?

Yes. Anybuddy complies with the requirements of the GDPR and acts as a processor of processing related to the reservation of equipment. A subcontracting contract (DPA) can be signed with each community in order to supervise the processing carried out.

Where is the data hosted?

The data is hosted on secure infrastructures located in France via Scaleway and benefits from security measures that comply with industry standards.

Do user data belong to the community?

The data is used only for the purposes of booking and managing the service. Anybuddy never sells user data and processing is strictly governed by the GDPR and contractual commitments.

Can we connect Anybuddy to our business software?

Yes. Anybuddy can connect to different sports equipment management software via API or through synchronizations tailored to your organization. When this is not possible, other methods of managing availability can be put in place.

Do we need to replace our current software?

No. Anybuddy generally complements the tools already used by the community in order to offer a modern reservation process to users.

Should we change our access control system?

No. If you already have a system (badges, digital codes, connected locks, etc.), we adapt to your installation. If no device is in place, we can also support you in deploying a standalone access control solution.

Can reservations be limited to citizens?

Yes. The community retains control of its equipment and can define its own rules: access reserved for residents, opening to certain audiences, specific slots, pricing conditions or access priorities.

Who sets the prices?

The community. You maintain complete control of prices, slots open for reservation, equipment concerned and rules of use.

Do municipal agents keep control of the platform?

Yes. Municipal teams have an administration space allowing them to manage equipment, slots, prices, reservations and statistics.

Can users share the payment for a sports court?

Yes. Players can pay individually for participation or automatically share the cost of the reservation, simplifying organization and reducing cancellations.
