Golf Yard Porvoo opened its doors on Saturday, November 22, 2025. Just over a week before the grand opening, it became clear at the studio that the original plan would not work as intended. A challenging situation was resolved through seamless collaboration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of November, communication between Golf Yard and their system provider at the time began to break down. The delivery of the access control system was delayed. Antti M\u00e4kel\u00e4<\/strong> from Golf Yard did not want to rely on a solution he couldn\u2019t trust – or postpone the opening due to uncertainty. At the last moment, he decided to stop waiting and switch to Thril.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Things Don\u2019t Move Forward <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Golf Yard had initially chosen a well-known system provider within the golf simulator industry, and the choice seemed logical. An access control partner was also involved in the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, the project did not progress as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golf Yard waited for deliveries for two weeks, but nothing happened. Without access control, the doors could not be opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, November 13, Antti decided enough was enough. He called Thril and explained the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

\u201cHi Martti, this current solution doesn\u2019t seem to be moving forward. Could we do this through you so we can be sure everything is ready on time?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

At that point, it was clear that we needed to act fast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes Speed Matters More Than Anything Else <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I asked Antti to hold on for a moment and called Rollock\u2014our partner known for fast and reliable execution. Rollock is one of several access control providers with whom Thril has plug-and-play compatibility. Ari Pudas<\/strong> from Rollock picked up the phone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We went through the situation together:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golf Yard\u2019s opening was at risk, which would mean significant revenue loss for the entrepreneur. We had to act immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ari didn\u2019t hesitate for a second and set things in motion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

\u201cAlright, we\u2019ll take care of it. The devices will be shipped today.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

By that same Thursday evening, the plan was clear. Rollock would deliver the access control system, and we would handle the booking system setup. That evening, we completed the Thril onboarding for Golf Yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bookings, calendars, products, pricing, and simulator-specific settings\u2014everything was configured and ready. From a systems perspective, the studio was fully prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hardware Arrived Faster Than Milk Turns Sour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rollock\u2019s devices arrived to Antti on Tuesday, November 18, and were installed on Friday. We operate on a turnkey basis, meaning access control was up and running immediately\u2014without any additional integration work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golf Yard now had a system that worked from day one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just one week after Antti\u2019s frustrated phone call, the studio opened its doors fully operational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

\u201cI was prepared for endless back-and-forth with the previous provider, but Thril and Rollock got everything done in just a couple of days. Frustration quickly turned into trust – this is how it should have worked from the very beginning.\u201d<\/p>\nAntti M\u00e4kel\u00e4, Golf Yard Porvoo<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

When the Doors Need to Open<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The reality of the sports industry is that entrepreneurs don\u2019t always have the luxury of waiting. When doors need to open, the tools must work. Even small issues can bring a business to a halt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe that our role\u2014and the role of our system\u2014is to enable success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me and for us, this was a launch that was close to going off track, but one we managed to save through fast, seamless collaboration. We want to build and nurture partnerships where solving problems and finding solutions is easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
