“I believe the next generation won’t even imagine a padel or sports club having a front desk with staff,” says WebLock CEO Taavi Krusell. “We’re seeing huge interest today in fully automated padel and tennis courts — and understandably so. Fully automated club management is time-saving, convenient, and modern.”
WebLock has been providing smart locking and access solutions for automated padel and tennis courts, and other sports clubs for over 10 years. Our systems allow clubs to significantly reduce labor costs while ensuring safety and delivering a seamless customer experience.
A Fully Automated Sports Club – No Keys, No Front Desk
The WebLock system integrates with leading sports club management platforms such as Sporty.Plus, Hopitude, and MyGames. In collaboration with these booking systems, the entire customer journey can be automated — from court reservations to access and service usage.
Integration between WebLock and sports clubs management and booking systems enables:
- Booking-based access rights – Clients can enter the facility only during their reserved times.
- Subscription-based access – For regular users, such as monthly membership holders.
- Single or multi-visit passes – Allows the sale of flexible visit packages.
- Automatic activation of courts, rooms, and additional services – For example, lighting, ventilation, sauna, or other features activate only during booked times.
A fully automated solution means there’s no need for physical keys, reception staff, or manual controls – everything runs smoothly and securely in the background.
Real-Life Example: FV Rackets Kiili Padel & Tennis
One of the latest centers to implement the WebLock system is FV Rackets Kiili Padel & Tennis, which opened in March this year near Tallinn. Like other FV Rackets padel and tennis halls, the Kiili center uses WebLock’s smart access solution integrated with Sporty.Plus — a system built specifically for the needs of sports clubs.
At FV Rackets, players can book their court via the app, go straight to the court, rent a racket, or make purchases at a self-service kiosk — all without interacting with a single staff member. This is the new normal for sports clubs.
The Sporty.Plus app allows:
- Easy court booking directly from the mobile app, both for registered users and one-time players
- Access control – Users can enter through locked gates or doors at their reserved time using a personal access code
- Payment management, including recurring payments and membership packages
The future is automated
The goal of WebLock is to make the management of sports facilities as simple and user-centered as possible.
Automation doesn’t just mean reducing staff — it also creates a higher quality user experience: less waiting time, more flexibility, and the assurance that everything works at the right time and in the right place.
