Gokart Stadium Streamlined and Enhanced

Henrik Nilsson, the owner of Gokart Stadium ÖS-WE Ring and founder of MegaTiming, is not just a businessman but also a passionate motorsport enthusiast. His interest in the sport began around 1996, eventually leading him to develop MegaTiming – a timing system for go-karts that is now a leader in the Nordic region, especially in Sweden.

Booking Challenges: Time-Consuming Management

Before Funbutler, Gokart Stadium relied on a manual and time-consuming booking process. It was a mix of email and calendar management, which created a lot of extra work. After becoming the owner of Gokart Stadium ÖS-WE Ring in 2017, Henrik realized the need to streamline bookings.

Choosing Funbutler

Henrik's decision to choose Funbutler was strongly influenced by its integration with MegaTiming. When Gokart Stockholm, a client of MegaTiming, wanted an integration with Funbutler, Henrik saw the potential for his own business. This integration means that guests can easily fill in their names before the visit, and the staff can smoothly transfer these names to MegaTiming, subsequently providing guests with their times digitally via Funbutler's booking reference.

Implementation and Efficiency

The implementation process was quick and exceeded expectations. It was important for Henrik to be able to customize the system exactly to their needs.

Improved Guest Experience

Customers appreciate being able to manage their bookings themselves. It gives them freedom and convenience. Customer feedback has been very positive since they started using Funbutler.

Increased Online Bookings and Reduced Administration

With Funbutler, Henrik has seen a significant reduction in the workload related to bookings. Phone calls and the administration around bookings have been reduced by 75%. This has led to less stress and more time for maintenance and other tasks.

Henrik has also noticed a noticeable increase in upselling of add-ons. He plans to further develop this next season, including setting up signs with QR codes leading directly to a drop-in booking form — combined with Swish to relieve staff during peak season.

Business Benefits and Future Prospects

Funbutler has had a positive impact on the business's profitability. Henrik's journey from a motorsport enthusiast to becoming a successful owner of Gokart Stadium ÖS-WE Ring and an innovator with MegaTiming is inspiring. His story is an excellent example of how passion can be combined with smart technology to create a successful business. "Using Funbutler has not only changed how we work, it has transformed our entire customer experience," Henrik concludes.
