Booking Activity Management System

What is it?

The Booking System is an online platform designed to help SASP and partner providers manage sessions, events, courses, venues, participants and bookings in one place. It includes an Activity Finder, using OpenActive data, which allows activities to be shared across other platforms and makes them easier for people to find. The system also provides real-time updates, helping to improve co-ordination of session availability and participant bookings.

What does this look like for you?

Each provider or partner organisation has their own account where they can create and manage events, known as "courses". These can then be made available through the Activity Finder or shared via a private link for selected participants. Courses can be free, funded or paid for by card, with the option to link a bank account or existing Stripe account so payments go directly to the provider.

Activity Finder

Why use the SASP Booking System?

The system is free to use and allows providers to join others across Somerset in promoting and managing their events and participants. It also gives participants a single account where they can find, book and pay for activities from different providers, making it easier to access what’s on offer across the county.

The system also includes functionality that allows SASP and other organisations to allocate funding to providers, which can then be applied to courses to offer discounted places. This makes it easier to manage and track funding, while providing useful insight into how it is being used.
