Migrate your Re:Desk data
Cloud-based recreation management platform for parks and recreation departments handling memberships, facility reservations, and program registrations.
In its favor
Why people choose Re:Desk
The signal that keeps Re:Desk on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
All-in-one recreation management replacing paper-and-pen workflows for parks and recreation departments managing memberships, programs, and facility bookings simultaneously.
Built-in point-of-sale system eliminates the need for separate payment processing software for concessions and registration fees.
Customer support receives high praise, with responsive representatives available via email and phone and consistent follow-through on technical issues.
Online registration and payment acceptance modernizes operations that previously relied on in-person sign-ups and cash handling.
Reasonable pricing for municipal recreation departments with predictable annual subscription model at Standard and Plus tiers.
Lack of real-time member check-in and check-out functionality means facilities cannot track active usage duration on the platform.
Limited customization options force organizations to work around the platform's default settings rather than adapting it to specific workflows.
Sport-specific limitations make it unsuitable for certain activities—for example, pickleball league scoring cannot be handled within the system.
Smaller departments may find the feature set geared toward larger municipalities with more complex programming needs, creating unnecessary overhead.

What gets migrated
Re:Desk object support
Object-by-object support for Re:Desk migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Members
Mapping requiredRe:Desk's core member record contains contact details, membership type, expiration dates, and custom fields. Member status values differ from standard CRM contact lifecycle stages, so we map membership tier and status to destination equivalents during migration.
Programs
Mapping requiredPrograms represent classes, leagues, or activities with registration limits, schedules, and pricing. We preserve program metadata and registration counts but note that not all destinations have a direct Program object equivalent.
Facilities
Mapping requiredFacilities are reservable assets such as courts, fields, or rooms. We export facility details, availability rules, and reservation records. Reservations map to booking or calendar objects in the destination system.
Reservations
Mapping requiredFacility and rental reservations include date ranges, time slots, and associated member or guest information. We preserve the full reservation history including cancelled and past reservations if scope requires it.
Point-of-Sale Transactions
Mapping requiredRe:Desk includes built-in POS for concessions and fee collection. Transaction records include line items, payment method, timestamp, and attending staff. These map to invoice or payment records in most destinations.
Check-ins / Attendance
Mapping requiredAttendance tracking for facilities and programs exists but reviews indicate limitations in real-time check-in/out functionality. We export available attendance records and flag gaps in the data for customer review.
Invoices / Billing Records
Mapping requiredRecDesk generates invoices for registrations, rentals, and POS purchases. We export invoice headers and line items. Status mapping (paid, pending, refunded) is applied at migration time.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredOrganizations can configure custom fields on Members and Programs. We discover custom field definitions during scoping and apply value-level mapping to preserve custom data in the destination.
Users / Staff
Fully supportedStaff accounts with role-based access (Administrator, Staff, Front Desk) export cleanly. We map staff accounts to user or agent records in the destination system and preserve role assignments where the target schema supports it.
Documents / Attachments
Mapping requiredDocuments attached to member records, programs, or reservations export as binary blobs. We preserve filenames and association metadata. File size limits and attachment storage quotas in the destination may constrain full export for large repositories.
