New features just in the nick of time!
As 2020 draws to a close and we reflect on the past year, we could have never imagined the need to build features into Fusion that would keep people active while distanced from one another. Each feature was developed with staff and customers top of mind, and this latest version is no exception. In this newest release, we've added the ability to display and edit occupancy counts on the member portal as well as an even smoother check-in process for both Bookings and Programs by Schedule. We've also added additional functionality to Programs by Schedule, so members can now register for a class after it has begun. We're excited about what this release means to both your staff and customers, and how your operations can continue to run safely, simply and smoothly.

Occupancy
The numbers don't lie
Your facility may have different spaces without a live access device to track occupancy, so how can you display how busy they are to your members? Easy! Your member portal. Now you can display and edit the occupancy counts of different spaces right on the member portal, even if they don't have an access device associated with them. Simply edit and update occupancy counts on the member portal, so your members know just how busy the weight room is before they decide to get a workout in.
