HoldEngine is our scheduling software for indoor baseball and softball facilities, designed and built from the first sketch to the working product you can try today.
HoldEngine · our product
Scheduling for spaces that aren’t simple.
Indoor baseball and softball facilities rent cages, lanes, and open areas by the hour. The hard part is that those spaces overlap: an open area is made of cages, a cage can convert to pitching, and converting one takes time.
A plain calendar can’t see any of that, so someone has to keep it in their head. We built HoldEngine to satisfy the unique needs of a facility in eastern Idaho, and it makes those rules part of the schedule.
The same developer you’d work with did all of it: the product decisions, the design, and the code.
Visit holdengine.comWhat it’s built to do
- Models the floor: which cages combine, which convert to pitching, and how long changing them takes.
- Moves existing bookings to free spaces when that lets more of them fit, and lists anyone who can’t be moved so staff can call them.
- Offers a lesson only when both the coach and a suitable cage are free.
- Lets parents book on a phone and sign waivers for each child.
- Gives the front desk a calendar with a column for every cage.
Two decisions worth explaining
The hardest rules get tested on their own. What fits where is decided by its own piece of the software, so the trickiest cases can be checked thoroughly without a website or database in the way.
Two people can’t be given the same time. One new booking can shift several others, so each facility’s changes are applied in order. If two people try for the same time, the first goes through and the second is checked against it.
We bring the same habit to client work: figure out the awkward real-world rule first, and put it somewhere it can be proven.
Where it stands
HoldEngine is taking early-access sign-ups, and its own website has the full story.
You can also try the demo. It’s shared and resets nightly, so use made-up details. It opens in a new tab.
