Gancho <\/strong>ry has found its solution for club management in Thril. Today, <\/strong>memberships, registrations, payments, and events are all managed through one system. According to club active Jussi Markula<\/strong>, there\u2019s no longer any need to rely on scattered messaging groups or manual bank transfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We visited Gancho\u2019s Night <\/strong>Padel event in Salo, held at Enko <\/strong>Padel. As the name suggests, the event featured a late-night padel tournament played into the early hours. Gancho is an active Thril user, and the tournament – organized in an americano format – was also run through Thril. This enabled real-time tracking of both match statistics and the tournament bracket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Chaos to Clarity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beyond events, Gancho now manages its entire club operations through Thril. According to Markula, who leads the club\u2019s activity team, the system has replaced outdated processes – especially when it comes to registrations and payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBefore Thril, things were quite chaotic – especially with payments. We used MobilePay and relied heavily on WhatsApp. Thril really brought clarity to everything,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seamless Collaboration Between Club and Venue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thril is built to support both clubs and venues, also in collaboration. Gancho and Enko Padel were among the first to adopt these integrated features. Now, Gancho\u2019s members can book courts at Enko Padel with their own pricing directly and without extra administrative work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Markula, the integrations between the club and the venue make everyday operations easier for both parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through Thril, clubs can offer member discounts, set pricing for events, and manage different types of bookings. These features have allowed Gancho to serve its community more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe became interested in Thril as soon as our venue switched to it,\u201d Markula adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attracting New Players<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since implementing Thril, Gancho has successfully attracted new players to its sessions and events. Markula notes that even existing members have become more active and are now participating in events they hadn\u2019t joined before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Events play a major role in Gancho\u2019s operations, and features like waiting lists and easy payments have made organizing them significantly easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are always last-minute cancellations and changes before events, but thanks to automation, we don\u2019t have to worry about them anymore,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The club\u2019s events have reached a wider audience, bringing in more new players from the Salo area. Joining the club has also become easier than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust last week, a new member joined through a link I shared. They replied, \u2018Wow, that was easy.\u2019 That\u2019s exactly what we want,\u201d Markula explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIt also simplifies club operations when everything – memberships, bookings, events – is managed in one place. There\u2019s no need for additional tools\u201d <\/em><\/p>\nHead of Member Activation at Gancho ry, Jussi Markula<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

He also emphasizes how the features help streamline the club\u2019s day-to-day operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built to Reflect Each Club\u2019s Identity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Markula highlights the visual aspects of the system, such as customizable banners and images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cOur events and our club feel like us. It\u2019s great that every club and venue can stand out in their own way.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
