Retail Tech Expertise, Applied to Padel
We've spent years building loyalty, CRM, and retention platforms for some of the world's largest consumer brands. Now we're bringing that same technology to the fastest-growing sport in Europe.
Where We Come From
Our team comes from the retail technology industry. We've built loyalty engines, customer data platforms, and automated engagement systems for brands like McDonald's, PepsiCo, Nestlé, and other global FMCG leaders.
When we discovered padel, we saw a familiar problem: businesses with foot traffic but no customer relationship. Booking platforms own the player. Clubs own nothing. We decided to bring what we know to this industry.
Enterprise Experience
Why Padel?
The fastest-growing sport in the world deserves the same tools that power the biggest consumer brands.
Same Problem, Different Industry
Padel clubs face the exact challenge we solved for retail: high foot traffic, zero customer ownership. Booking aggregators are the "marketplace" problem all over again.
Enterprise Tech, Club-Sized
We took systems built for companies with millions of customers and made them work for a 6-court club. Same principles — automated loyalty, smart segmentation, behavioral triggers — at a fraction of the complexity.
Proven Playbook
Loyalty programs, tier-based rewards, automated re-engagement — these aren't experiments. They're battle-tested strategies that drive retention across every consumer industry.
The Team
Engineers and product builders from the retail tech industry, now fully focused on padel.
We're a team of software engineers and product people based in Europe. Before SmashClub, we built and operated loyalty and CRM platforms that served tens of millions of end consumers for brands like McDonald's, PepsiCo, and Nestlé.
We started playing padel and immediately saw the gap: clubs had no tools to own their player relationships. Everything we knew about retention, engagement, and loyalty from retail tech applied perfectly — but nothing like it existed for padel.
So we built SmashClub. Today we serve clubs in Dubai, Cyprus, Germany, and growing. Our product is padel-first, but our DNA is enterprise-grade retention technology.
