What is Teebly Bay Tools?
Automate bays and improve bay utilization with Teebly Bay Tools.
Teebly Bay Tools is a suite of applications designed to streamline automations and guest experiences. Bay Tools is available for Windows and iPadOS, each with specific features.
Bay Tools for Windows allows venues to:
- Automate bay locking and unlocking around bookings.
- Send messages to bays.
- Prompt golfers to extend their round.
| Feature | How it helps venues |
|---|---|
| Bay automation | Automatically unlock bays when bookings start and lock bays when bookings end. |
| Bay messaging | Lets venues communicate with bays to provide helpful reminders, instructions or technical support to customers. |
| Extension prompts | Alerts golfers that their round is ending soon and prompts them to extend, if the following slot is available. |
Bay Tools for iPadOS allows venues to:
- Display relevant booking details.
- Provide how-to documentation and answers to common support questions.
- List venue support contact information.
| Feature | How it helps venues |
|---|---|
| Booking details | Informs golfers how much time they have left in their booking. |
| Documentation | Lets venues upload relevant how-to documentation so golfers can quickly resolve technical issues. |
| Contact information | Shows venue contact details, so golfers know who to call for support. |
Venues can use Bay Tools applications together, or independently. For example, a venue may only use Bay Tools for Windows because they don’t have iPads in their bays.
Teebly Bay Tools vs. smart plug automation
Bay Tools automates bays by locking and unlocking the computer as needed, without needing automation hardware or third-party subscriptions. Since smart plug automation repeatedly cuts power to devices, it can damage high-end equipment such as projectors and launch monitors over time. We recommend using smart plug automation only for peripheral equipment, such as strike mat lights, to extend the life of high-end equipment.
| Automation option | How it works |
|---|---|
| Teebly Bay Tools | Unlocks bays when bookings start and locks them when bookings end. |
| Smart plug automation | Uses smart plugs or switches to turn devices on and off around bookings. |
| Combined automation | Uses Bay Tools for bay projectors and monitors, then smart plugs for lights or other devices. |
Venues can use both options to automate bays. For example, a venue may use Teebly Bay Tools to automate PC output to projectors and monitors, and use smart plugs to control lights.
