The Mindbody alternative for Swiss studios

With avoo you run your whole studio on one platform: bookings and passes, a member app in your look, your own website with a page builder, shop and point of sale at the front desk, marketing that runs by itself.

The difference starts with the price: avoo states it publicly and in francs, without a request. You do the maths yourself before you get in touch.

What you run with avoo

One platform for the whole studio day. Every feature is described in detail on the Features page.

Instructor pool

Open classes without a fixed instructor go into a pool: available instructors see them instantly and pick them up themselves. No more WhatsApp hunt for cover.

Fully integrated studio website

Your own branded website with a section builder (hero, classes, schedule, team, passes, shop, FAQ, contact), booking built right in, no second website tool.

Your own app: included, no store needed

A fully branded member app from day one: add it to the home screen via a link, every feature included, updates itself, works offline: no store download, no waiting for app review. Optionally a real listing in the App Store & Play Store under your own account: then the app belongs to you, not us, not a half-finished template app under someone else’s roof.

Digital signage

TV or tablet displays for reception and entrance: schedule, upcoming classes, workshop promo. Pair a screen via QR; the screen itself needs no login.

TakeAway

Pre-order snacks & drinks before or after training, pick up and pay at reception, including add-ons per item.

POS / combined sale

Point of sale at reception: passes, shop items, TakeAway and vouchers on one invoice and one payment.

Automatic instructor payroll

Instructor pay per activity, appointment or workshop, calculated automatically from classes held and attendance.

No booking commission

A fixed monthly price instead of a percentage per booking. You pay the transaction fees directly to your payment provider.

Marketing automation (journeys)

Multi-step automated flows: welcome series, win-back of inactive members, pass expiry, abandoned-cart reminder, birthday. Ready-made templates, runs by itself.

Lead funnel / mini-CRM

Move prospects from first enquiry to membership (pipeline), with 1-click conversion and a conversion rate.

This is how you run your studio

Not just the storefront. This is the day-to-day in the backoffice: reception and check-in, schedule, sales, marketing and members, all in one place.
