Hi
This query is directed at those who currently or have in the past, run a martial arts school, of any size.
I'm developing a software program to help manage martial arts schools and would like your thoughts on the following.
What takes up an inordinate amount of your time?
What information would you like to have easily accesible?
Would you feel more comfortable if emailing, reports and other document manipulation was done in an environment you already use eg outlook express, word?(As opposed to through a custom programme)
What do you feel are the shortcomings in the current crop of these systems?
What would you be willing so spend on the above functionality?
From enquiries I've made:
Most time is spent keeping track of student accounts.
Information on student accounts and retention is most valued.
The majority of instructors would prefer using tools they are already familiar with.
They provide limited functionality in comparison to cost, but don't mind paying if the cost to functionality ratio is right.
Amounts up to R1500 were quoted.
I appreciate your responses.
