## What usually goes wrong

- Bookings taken by phone and on paper, with double bookings and arguments at the desk.
- Course enrollment that swamps the office every September.
- Cash payments that are hard to reconcile and hard to account for in an audit.
- Facilities open with no staff, and no way of controlling who comes in.
- Procurement and information-security requirements that generic software does not meet.

## What Sporttia does

### Online facility booking

Residents see real availability and book from their phone. Each facility has its own rules: booking window, length, booking limits and rates by time band or type of user.

### Courses, academies and events

Online enrollment with places per rate, categories by year of birth and payment in instalments. It is what ends the September queues.

### Payments and reconciliation

Card payments, a prepaid wallet and direct debits. Every movement is traceable, which is what accounting for public money requires.

### Access control

Doors opened by QR or by device, tied to the booking, so facilities can stay open without permanent staff.

### Medium-level ENS certification

Sporttia is certified to Spain's National Security Framework (ENS), a routine requirement in Spanish public-sector tenders. It is a Spanish credential: outside Spain it is evidence of an audited security posture, not something your own tenders will ask for.
