Kanri is a software-as-a-service platform for martial arts schools and fitness studios to manage memberships, communications, payments, schedules, and attendance.

Payment options include credit and debit cards, Canadian EFT/PAD, US ACH, Interac, cash, and e-transfer. Recurring class schedules can cover multiple programs and locations, with attendance tracked for each session. Members can use a mobile-optimized portal on iOS and Android to book classes, check progress, pay invoices, and stay connected. Kanri also includes Kai, a role-aware assistant that can answer questions, retrieve reports, surface insights, draft messages, and guide users through the platform. Kanri says account data is not used to train AI models. Integrations include or rely on Stripe, Zapier, QuickBooks, Xero, Apple App Store, Google Play, and domain registrars. Kanri says it is built in Canada and hosts its infrastructure and customer data there.
