Innovation
As a business, we love being innovative. Somebody has to push the envelope and we're suckers for new ideas and shiny stuff. Here are some of the cool things we have at The Warehouse....
MATCHi TV
We have been using MATCHi for our booking system since the start, and we love them. They are super friendly and happily fix all the things we mess up.
We noticed they have a live streaming service called MATCHi TV. We think it looks great and, surprise surprise, it is really good (just like everyone at MATCHi.
We have installed a camera on all our courts, which offers free live streaming and recordings of your games. Use the QR code on the courts to start your FREE recording! Check out the recordings at matchi.tv.
Please make sure you are always smiling and having fun for the world to see our best side :)
I know, MATCHi TV is hardly a 'necessity'... but we couldn't resist.
Padelboard by MATCHi
If you have ever entered a sports competition (such as an Americano or similar), knowing what's going on can be difficult. Who do I play next, who is winning or losing, let alone who is who. Well, Padelboard (yep, confusing name) by MATCHi makes it all very simple.
You just enter competitions or training sessions through the MATCHi app and then use the app during the event. More clever stuff from the MATCHi folks.
We have teamed up with the gang from Padel Shack who, despite not being Swedish or Spanish, know a hell of a lot about padel. They were very quick to realise the UK needed a specialist padel supplier and have been in the thick of things since 2015! They have a brilliant online shop as well as an equally impressive actual shop just down the road in Manningtree.
Together we provide demo bats on-site and no doubt some events where you can actually try the latest and greatest kit. They sponsor many of the best players in the country who will hopefully visit us occasionally. They have also offered to help with the odd prize for our club events.
THE PADEL-SHOOTER
OK, it's only a ball machine but it is one of the best ball machines in the world! Nothing in the padel world comes close to the Shooter (we will have to think of a better name than that).
It's controlled via an app and can feed all kinds of shots, one or two players, and even random programmes. We will be looking to use this in our coaching sessions soon...
Good news, the Dutch are the clever ones responsible for the Shooter. We really needed a break from all those cool Scandinavians :)
