Pike13 now offers Flexible Billing, which enables payment customization forPike13’s customers that do not operate on standard U.S. billing cycles. Additionally, a new Recurring Enrollment enhancement makes it simpler for children’s activities providers and other businesses to enroll a student or member in all future classes at a specific date and time.Pike13 also announced an integration with[ClassPass](https://classpass.com/), the premier fitness membership platform, to allow fitness studios and gyms a more streamlined approach to reaching clients and increasing incremental revenue. Now, the Pike13 platform ensures business owners can address a range of complex billing and scheduling needs unique to their customer base. The most recent features are especially suited for the $55 billion children’s services industry ([American Express Spending & Saving Tracker](https://learn.pike13.com/hubfs/Front_Desk_Jun2016/Pdf/2013-07_Spend-and-Save-Tracker.pdf)) where recurring and multiple-member enrollment, and customized billing options are important. Pike13 supports growing businesses in the services industry by streamlining administrative tasks and allowing business owners to focus more on customer service and growth. Pike13 works with a diverse range of personal services businesses from sole proprietors to national franchises in verticals such as yoga and dance studios, athletic instructors and music schools. Swim school franchisor, [SwimLabs](http://www.swimlabs.com/), recently turned to Pike13 after struggling to address business management challenges for franchise owners. ### *“We’re excited about Flexible Billing! The ability to automate our membership fees as well as eliminate the need to pro rate fees means increasing efficiency,” said Jennifer Liggett, Franchise Operations Manager, SwimLabs. “We’re moving to annual billing through Pike13 for fees at our school now.”* Front Desk’s latest updates include: - **Flexible Billing** – Enabling billing on a custom, recurring basis, business owners can establish a payment period that works for their business model. Whether it’s every two weeks, once a month, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, the cycle is completely customizable. This is especially important for international businesses that don’t operate on standard U.S. billing calendars. - **ClassPass Integration** – Granting access to a network of tens of thousands of consumers who use ClassPass each month for their fitness needs. The new integration allows fitness studios to easily tap into an already-dedicated market of consumers who discover new boutique fitness experiences through their ClassPass membership. - **Recurring Enrollment** – Allowing businesses to enroll their customers in multiple future classes, guaranteeing their spot. In addition, it will ensure repeat attendance and simplified capacity management. Schedules are easily shifted as necessary to accommodate holidays or changes in attendance. “*Running a small business is hard, especially in competitive industries such as children’s activities. We work with business owners to give them the technology and resources to make it a bit easier*,” said Jon Zimmerman, CEO and founder of [Pike13](https://www.pike13.com). “*Our small business partners often cite billing and enrollment as a significant challenge in day-to-day operations. This latest round of feature upgrades address such challenges by providing an extra layer of flexibility that will help owners better run their business and foster stronger client relationships*.” Businesses interested in learning more about Pike13 or starting a free trial can visit: [https://www.pike13.com](https://www.pike13.com). **About Pike13** Pike13 Inc. provides a rapidly growing mobile-first, software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that delivers cloud-based [ business management](https://learn.pike13.com/community/in-the-news/front-desk-api-platform-helps) tools to the personal services economy.
