There’s chalk in our blood.
We’ve owned and operated gyms ourselves. We’ve hoovered mats, coiled ropes, and checked the numbers at 11 pm on our days off more times than we care to admit.
We know the blood, sweat, and tears it takes to make a gym thrive. We’ve also felt the frustration of poor software - how it drains your team, slows down operations, and pulls you away from what you love most: climbing.
That’s why we built Clava. Powerful, affordable software that simplifies every part of running your business, so you can spend less time on admin and more time on your passion and delivering unforgettable experiences for your customers.
The industry is changing fast, and building features that make your life a little easier - today and tomorrow - is what drives us and keeps our platform moving forward every day.
We know what it takes to run a successful climbing gym
It’s about more than just getting grips on the wall. That's why Clava handles every aspect of your business operations.
