Kanri

What Kanri is

Kanri is a software-as-a-service platform for martial arts schools and fitness studios to manage memberships, communications, payments, schedules, and attendance. Schools can set recurring billing daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly, with automated retries after payment failures and cancellations. 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. Plans begin at Starter for $99 a month, billed monthly, with unlimited member profiles, 5,000 email messages per month, 50 SMS segments per month, and 100 GB of storage. Each subscription includes C$10 per month in usage credits toward SMS and MMS charges. The service describes support for operations from one school to fifty locations; onboarding help and documentation are included.
