More than a court booking system.
Cerulean Access is built around bookable resources, not one particular sport. One organisation can manage padel, squash, tennis, a gym, clubhouse and meeting rooms or other bookable facilities in the same platform. Open more and administer less, with automated bookings and access for members and visitors.

Good to know.
Still have a question? We're happy to talk through your current setup.
Talk to the teamDoes Cerulean Access charge commission on bookings?
No. Cerulean Access uses predictable monthly subscription pricing. Payment gateway fees charged by your chosen provider remain separate.
Can we use our existing RFID or NFC cards?
Potentially. Compatibility depends on the credential technology and reader hardware. Existing systems can be evaluated during implementation.
What happens if the Internet goes down?
Access controllers are designed to maintain a local cache of valid upcoming access permissions so authorised access can continue during temporary connectivity interruptions.
Can one club manage both padel and squash courts?
Yes. Cerulean Access treats each independently bookable facility as a resource, allowing different resource types to operate within the same club.
Do players need to install an app?
No native application is required for the core booking flow. The platform is designed around a mobile-friendly web experience.
Can staff still open a gate manually?
Yes. Authorised club staff retain manual access and override controls.
Ready to take the keys out of court management?
