Lightspeed Commerce, the unified omni-channel platform powering retail, golf and hospitality businesses in over 100 countries, has formed a strategic partnership with Whoosh, an industry leader in modern operations software.

As Whoosh’s Preferred Membership Management Partner, Lightspeed will provide Whoosh users in the private club space its cloud-based point of sale, payments and membership management technology directly integrated into their tee sheet, giving clubs an automated, real-time view of member activity across the facility. 

A central feature of the partnership is Lightspeed Membership Management, a new membership billing system which enables clubs to centralise charges, set custom billing rules, and access real-time insights.  

Complementing Lightspeed, Whoosh’s drag-and-drop agenda tools and customizable tee sheets support golf, racquets, simulators, events, fitness, dining, and more. Members enjoy a frictionless digital booking experience, seeing real-time availability, automated restrictions, weather updates, and direct messaging through their mobile app.

Joint customers also have access to a robust partner ecosystem, offering more custom solutions to private club operators. Paired with Lightspeed Payments and reporting infrastructure, staff get instant access to member profiles, booking preferences, and spending habits, allowing them to deliver personalised service at every touchpoint.

“By integrating Lightspeed with Whoosh’s intuitive reservation and agenda tools, we’re giving Private club operators a powerful, seamless workflow that connects every touchpoint across the member journey,” said Fraser Marriott, Head of Golf at Lightspeed. “It’s a flexible, unified solution that will enhance the overall member experience.”

“After surveying the space, it was clear that Lightspeed is the ideal private membership management partner for Whoosh,” said Colin Read, CEO and co-founder of Whoosh. “Together our tools are a powerful combination, finally offering private facilities an integrated platform built to exceed today’s operational expectations and future-proof the member experience.”
