ASF Payment Solutions and Lifestyle Technologies Partner Through Innovation


ASF Payment Solutions and Lifestyles Technologies, maker of DietMasters Personal Nutrition Software, has partnered with a unique software integration so- lution. Health clubs, fitness centres and martial arts studios using ASF’s online management software can now build in a supplemental fee to membership dues from within the ASF dashboard that gives members access to meal plans designed by registered dietitians and weight loss doctors via their mobile phones. “We are excited about the integration with ASF,” says CEO John Schirra. “It’s a great way to augment dues reve- nues and add nutrition services to any club.” Club owners will also gain control of the login ca-


pability of members who are past due on membership accounts. In addition, members ordering a meal plan will not be able to process the order if they’re behind on their dues. “This benefit of automated login control is a huge timesaver for club owners, and one more in- centive for the member to clean up their account,” says Jason Weston, VP Sales & Business Development at ASF.
