"As a side job, I helped schedule appointments using eSoft for a sport facility, and I loved how simple and easy it was to use. I liked the way the software notified our customers to inform them of their upcoming appointments. I also liked the way customers could book their own appointments in the system without having to call the establishment. Customers can easily add money to their account using a credit card. It's that simple!"

Meet The eSoft Planner Team

A family-owned Cincinnati company supporting activity-based businesses across the United States.

eSoft Planner is the flagship product of PPC Communications, a family-owned company in Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded in 2008, it was created after the founders experienced the limitations of forcing spreadsheets and basic online calendars to manage a sports training facility. That first-hand perspective shaped a platform for schedule-based and instructor-based businesses. Since then, eSoft Planner has grown through collaboration with sports academies, sports complexes, swim clubs, and other activity-based organizations across the United States. The team continues to focus on practical tools, flexible workflows, and consultative support so facility managers can spend less time on repetitive administration and more time running their programs.
