Birdie
Automate access control for indoor golf simulator venues using Birdie management software.
Connect Birdie to your Kisi account to automatically manage facility access based on bookings, memberships, punch passes, and lesson packages. As customers book simulator bays, join memberships, or purchase eligible packages, Birdie provisions time-based Kisi access for the appropriate doors. When bookings end, memberships expire, or purchases are cancelled or refunded, access is automatically revoked without manual intervention.
Built specifically for independent indoor golf simulator venues, the integration helps operators deliver a seamless customer experience while supporting secure, unattended facility access.
How the Birdie + Kisi integration works
Birdie connects bookings, memberships, and customer activity with Kisi access control to automate facility entry.
When a customer books a simulator bay, purchases a membership, or receives a punch pass or lesson package, Birdie automatically provisions Kisi access for the appropriate time window. If a booking is cancelled, refunded, or expires (or a membership lapses) access is automatically revoked, ensuring only authorized users can enter the facility.
For one-time bookings and guests, Birdie can send secure, time-bound unlock links by SMS or email, allowing customers to access the venue without installing the Kisi app. Members can also use the Kisi app for ongoing access where configured.
