MVS2 now includes comprehensive attendance reports

 As well as providing an entry system and linking this to payment status, MVS2 now gives you all the essential retention data you need:

• Membership list by type: a complete list of members, able to be sorted by membership category.
• Non-attendance: 3 buttons allowing you to see members who have not attended in the last 30, 60 or 90 days.
• Expiring membership: 2 buttons for running reports showing memberships which have expired in the last 30 days and those which will expire in the next 30 days.
• Birthdays: For that personal touch, a list of members whose birthday is coming up in the next 7 days, allowing you and your staff to acknowledge this or even offer a special gift/incentive. As a linked facility, when a member swipes in on their birthday, an alert will appear, so that this can be acknowledged on the front desk.

MVS2 installations

The Ashbourne team have started to install the MVS2 system in a number of clubs across the UK. The feedback has been great, with gym owners finding immediate benefits. At one location, the first member to have his photo taken and be issued with a swipe card, someone who was a ‘regular’, when his card was swiped, it came up as a defaulter! Some laughter and a bit of embarrassment later, the issue was resolved, but the incident pointed up just how you can’t take for granted the status of anyone who is in your premises...MVS2 provides a watertight membership validation system, using the power of the internet and some simple but effective technology.
