IoT Devices and Automation Achieve 24x7 Golf Access at Anytime Golf

Brantford, Ontario, Canada - November 1, 2023 - Anytime Golf, a pioneering provider of indoor golf simulation experiences, has successfully realized its mission to offer avid golfers access to their passion 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Through strategic technology implementation and automation, Anytime Golf has optimized its operations, allowing golf enthusiasts to enjoy their favorite sport at their convenience.

With a dedication to providing golf lovers with round-the-clock access to indoor golf simulation, Anytime Golf recognized the challenges of staffing their facility and managing simulator reservations efficiently. To overcome these obstacles, they turned to MercOlogy, a trusted technology partner specializing in business automation solutions.

MercOlogy's expertise in identifying and implementing technology solutions allowed Anytime Golf to achieve its 24x7 golf access dream. The project involved a comprehensive approach, encompassing key components such as booking and scheduling, venue access control, and simulator management.

- Booking and Scheduling: For streamlined booking and scheduling, MercOlogy selected Skedda, an exceptional online self-booking system. Skedda empowers customers to effortlessly reserve time in a golf simulator, offering the flexibility to create, reschedule, and cancel bookings with ease.

- Venue Access Control: In terms of secure venue access control, MercOlogy recommended KISI, a state-of-the-art access control system. KISI's Cloud Key Credentials provide customers with a seamless and secure entrance to the facility during their reserved time, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

- Simulator Control: MercOlogy opted for Kasa by TP-Link, a leading smart home system, to control the golf simulators. Smart plugs and switches from Kasa by TP-Link offer complete control over the simulation equipment, allowing for easy power management during reserved time slots.

Following these recommendations, MercOlogy swiftly installed the necessary smart devices for venue access and simulator control. Once the devices were in place and thoroughly tested, MercOlogy developed workflows to achieve autonomous operation. Zapier, a versatile integration platform, was selected for its ability to facilitate integrations without the need for coding, making it a suitable choice for cases where an app or device is not directly supported within the Zapier ecosystem. These Zapier workflows execute essential functions:

1. Skedda New Booking: This step keeps the system up-to-date with the latest reservations, ensuring seamless management of bookings.
2. KISI Create Guest Access Link: This feature generates unique links to provide guests with one-click access, simplifying entry and exit procedures.
3. TP-Link Create Device Schedule: Establishing schedule rules for specific devices, this function automates power supply management during reserved time slots.
4. Gmail Send Email in Gmail: This capability allows for the creation and delivery of emails containing the Guest Link, providing guests with access to the facility at the specified date and time.

In October 2023, Anytime Golf successfully launched its 24x7 autonomous operations. The facility is now operating smoothly, achieving its mission of providing passionate golfers with convenient access to indoor golf simulation experiences.
