It&#8217;s a place where you don&#8217;t need to take yourself too seriously. But even with a laid-back approach, the booking system has to work flawlessly. Now they&#8217;re handling hundreds of bookings every month, and manual work has been reduced to virtually nothing.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bella&#8217;s concept is simple: a high-quality but above all relaxed indoor golf experience. Shoes off, sink into the lounge sofa, Viaplay on, and clubs in hand \u2014 no white-knuckling required. Bella launched with the goal of creating a space for golfers who want, first and foremost, to enjoy the sport and life itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The start was fast. The club was up and running quickly after the idea sparked. One thing was clear from the beginning: the booking system had to work in a way that wouldn&#8217;t compromise the customer experience or the enjoyment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8221;A partner that listens to customers and their needs&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bella&#8217;s co-owner <strong>Tuomo Rissanen<\/strong> is, according to his colleague <strong>Raine Siltala<\/strong>, well-versed in booking systems, and when it came time to choose, he did his homework thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bella wanted a partner that wouldn&#8217;t just sell a product and then vanish into thin air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5902ca101a07920b5a63fa9d9a3b83dc is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"color:#d5d7dd;margin-right:0;margin-left:0;padding-right:12px;padding-left:12px\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-97b0f3ec6990d90e1e475471d08f3239 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#17de80;font-size:clamp(15.747px, 0.984rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.86), 24px);\"><em>&#8221;We wanted a Finnish company. And best of all, one that genuinely listens to customers and their needs. And on top of that, actually delivers on those wishes&#8221;<\/em> <\/p>\n<cite><strong>Raine Siltala<\/strong>, Bella Golf Club <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8221;Tuomo said he only wants the best&#8221;,&nbsp;Raine adds, summing up his colleague in a sentence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hundreds of bookings a month from day one<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting Thril up and running didn&#8217;t require sleepless nights or IT support calls. Raine recalls that the system was live within a week of signing the agreement, and bookings for the simulators started rolling in fast. We&#8217;ve also been happy to hear that Bella&#8217;s customers have shared positive feedback about their booking experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The volume is genuinely high, and Bella hasn&#8217;t even been open that many months yet. So how much time does managing all those bookings actually take alongside everything else?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Practically none, apparently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh, and those bookings? Around 600 per month on average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Memberships, credits, and more committed players <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Individual session bookings are of course a great indicator of a venue&#8217;s popularity and signal a good customer experience. At Thril, though, we believe that beyond bookings, it&#8217;s worth offering customers a wider range of services too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bella has been making active use of Thril&#8217;s membership and credit features. In short: both can be sold directly through Thril. According to the Bella team, these features do exactly what they should: get players committed and keep them coming back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thril&#8217;s new Services feature has also found its way into use, including for organising individual and group coaching sessions. As a new feature, Services has been one of the joint development areas between Bella and Thril.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The world is never finished and neither is Thril. Development continues, and fortunately the pace of that development has moved us and our customers forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8221;There&#8217;s a lot to praise about Thril. It&#8217;s not a finished system, and probably never will be&#8221;,&nbsp;says Eelis Varis from Bella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that&#8217;s exactly right. Development is the goal, and development is what we want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8221;Thril&#8217;s approach to development is exceptional&#8221; <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, we asked how Bella would describe Thril to another business. We got a welcome answer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8221;The way Thril develops its system with a customer-first mindset is exceptional and nothing else in Finland comes close. Business needs are taken into account, and the platform evolves incredibly fast to match them. Highly recommended&#8221;, Eelis concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One more thing worth mentioning: Bella is considering adding more simulators in the future. And according to Eelis, simulators for different sports at that. We&#8217;re looking forward to seeing what growth brings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now grab your clubs and head to the club! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact information <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udcde <strong>Phone:<\/strong> +358 44 2838863<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udce7 <strong>Email: <\/strong><a href=\"mailto:info@thril.fi\">info@thril.fi<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udccd <strong>Address: <\/strong>Unioninkatu 24, 00130 Helsinki, Suomi<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bella Golf Club is a golf simulator club where you don't need to take yourself too seriously.
