The Gantner NFC Club Management System: more for you and your club

When it comes to improving operations and member experience, Gantner’s NFC Club Management system offers a modular, easy-to-expand solution that’s entirely one-of-a-kind.


Based on Near-Field-Communication (NFC) technology, the system comprises membership credentials, access control, electronic locking for lockers, and cashless payment.
NFC membership credentials contain an embedded electronic chip that can communicate with the entire system. Credentials come in the form of a card, wristband, key fob, or even NFC-enabled mobile phone, and can be used not only for identification, but also as a medium for access, lockers, payment, and networked fitness.


With one membership credential, members can conveniently enjoy all NFC-enabled amenities in your club. No additional mechanical keys, pins, or cards required.
For operations, the advantages are clear; management can secure designated areas and automate check-in procedures without requiring staff.


Gantner’s alarmed locking system for lockers features: automatic opening function for overnight cleaning, complete control over locker usage, occupancy monitoring, and detailed usage statistics.
To address your sales environment needs, Gantner’s cashless payment module can be a standard point of sale or an automated solution for vending and sunbed control. Industry research shows cashless payment technology boosts revenues up to 30 percent and improves member satisfaction, as members no longer need to carry cash or credit cards.


Combined with a third party management software, the Gantner NFC Club Management System creates a fully integrated system solution to beef up your bottom line.
