GOALS

Redesign the court booking experience to be intuitive, fast, and mobile-friendly.

RESEARCH

  • Heuristic Evaluation: Identified 5+ friction points in the user journey (e.g., unclear time slots, no confirmation preview, redundant inputs).

  • User Feedback: Users wanted quicker booking, visual clarity on court availability, and confidence that their slot was confirmed.

  • Business Insight: Bookings made via staff assistance added load to front desk teams and often led to missed upsell opportunities.

APPROACH

  • Introduced calendar-based UI with real-time slot availability

  • Created a 3-step booking flow (Select > Confirm > Pay)

  • Optimized for mobile-first access, as most users book on-the-go

  • Added smart suggestions (e.g., best time slots) to encourage more bookings

IMPACT

  • Booking completion time reduced from ~2.5 minutes to under 60 seconds

  • Bookings increased by 32% in the first 2 months post-launch

  • Front desk queries dropped by 45%, freeing up staff for on-ground service

  • Enabled better peak-hour utilization, leading to an uplift in revenue per court

TOOLS

Court booking feature for sports like Pickleball, Volleyball, and Badminton was functionally available, but underutilized. User drop-offs during the booking flow were high, and customer complaints often referenced a “confusing” or “lengthy” process.

At the same time, the business aimed to increase court utilization and drive revenue through seamless self-service bookings.
