Many facility owners seek to control or automate simulator bay access — ensuring customers only use bays during paid or scheduled sessions.
While Foresight Sports does not currently provide a built-in scheduling or access-control feature, several third-party systems can be configured to accomplish this goal.
This article outlines a commonly used example leveraging Whoosh! (a third-party software platform) and compatible smart-lock systems to manage bay scheduling, customer payments, and timed access.

⚠️ Disclaimer:
The tools and services mentioned in this article are third-party solutions not developed, owned, or supported by Foresight Sports.
Configuration, pricing, and functionality are subject to each vendor’s control.

Example Solution: Whoosh! Scheduling & Access Control
Some commercial facilities use Whoosh!, a cloud-based scheduling and management system designed for golf and simulator bay operations.
When paired with a compatible access-control system such as RemoteLock, Whoosh can:
Allow customers to book and pay for simulator sessions online or through an app
Generate time-bound access codes for each booking
Automatically revoke access once the scheduled session ends
Track usage, cancellations, and activity reports
Reduce manual oversight and unauthorized use
Example Workflow
The customer books a session and completes payment through the Whoosh interface.
Whoosh issues a unique code (via email or text) that grants access to the simulator bay.
The smart lock or access device recognizes the code during the active booking window.
Once the scheduled time expires, access is automatically disabled.
Additional Considerations
When evaluating a third-party scheduling or access system, consider the following:
Compatibility: Verify that your smart-lock hardware integrates with the chosen platform (e.g., RemoteLock, Schlage Encode, etc.).
Network Requirements: Systems often rely on stable internet connections for authentication.
Security: Ensure lock systems default to “locked” on power loss or connectivity failure.
Support & Maintenance: All setup and troubleshooting must be handled by the third-party provider.
Pricing: Subscription or licensing fees may vary depending on facility size and bay count.
