From our earliest systems to today\u2019s modern touch-screen environments, our focus has never changed\u2014supporting bowling center owners with solutions that are proven, flexible, and built for the long haul. As we move forward into the next chapter, we\u2019re excited to share a few important updates with you {business-name}  \u200c \u200c \u200c \u200c \u200c \u200c \u200c NOVA IS NOW LIVE IN THE FIELD  After years of planning, development, and real-world input from bowling centers, NOVA has officially entered its LIVE TESTING AND DEBUGGING PHASE. NOVA is now installed in a small number of bowling centers, where it\u2019s being used daily in real operating environments. This phase allows us to fine-tune performance, workflows, and reliability before a broader release. \u200c \u200c \u200c \u200c \u200c \u200c \u200c BUILT FOR THE REAL WORLD OF BOWLING\ufeff    \u200c NOVA is not a quick update\u2014it\u2019s a next-generation platform built on decades of experience working directly with bowling center owners, operators, and technicians. Its development has been deliberate and methodical. After extensive live-center testing and refinement, NOVA is now on track for its OFFICIAL RELEASE IN QUARTER 2 OF 2026. That timeline is important. Q2 marks more than a software launch \u2014 it represents the transition to a new standard for Steltronic scoring. Beginning in Q2 2026, NOVA becomes the foundation moving forward, and all new system sales starting at Bowl Expo in Nashville will include this powerful new platform. Key goals behind NOVA include: * A modern, intuitive user interface * Faster performance and improved responsiveness * A flexible architecture that supports future innovation * Seamless compatibility with real-world bowling center operations Every feature has been built with operational reality in mind \u2014 from league nights to weekend rushes \u2014 ensuring stability, speed, and long-term scalability. As we approach Q2 2026, we will continue sharing details about capabilities, enhancements, and rollout plans. The groundwork has been laid, the testing phase is delivering strong results, and the next chapter of Steltronic scoring is almost here. {share:twitter} {share:facebook} {share:linkedin} Read More  \u200c \u200c \u200c INTRODUCING THE STELTRONIC MOBILE APP    \u200c Alongside our scoring software evolution, we\u2019re also expanding the Steltronic experience beyond the lanes.

This is another step toward modern expectations, where guests interact with technology naturally and intuitively, without adding complexity for center staff. More details on app features and availability will be announced as development continues. {share:twitter} {share:facebook} {share:linkedin} Read More  \u200c \u200c \u200c WHY BOWLING CENTERS CHOOSE STELTRONIC PROVEN EXPERIENCE 46 years in the bowling industry, evolving alongside changing technologies and center needs. \u200c STRING PINSETTERS  Interfaces with more than 40 different pinsetters worldwide, supporting both freefall and string pinsetters. BUILT TO SCALE From arcade and boutique lanes to full-size bowling centers and FECs, Steltronic systems grow with you. \u200c \u200c \u200c Bowling centers don\u2019t just need new technology\u2014they need technology that understands bowling. \u200c \u200c \u200c \u200c \u200c \u200c NOW AVAILABLE: OPEN A BOWLING LANE DIRECTLY FROM THE STELTRONIC KIOSK   \u200c We\u2019re excited to introduce a powerful new feature for the Steltronic self-service kiosk system. Guests can now OPEN A BOWLING LANE DIRECTLY FROM THE KIOSK \u2014 without waiting in line at the front desk. The process is simple and intuitive. When guests request a lane, they are prompted to enter: * The number of players * The number of games they would like to bowl * The number of rental shoes needed Once these selections are completed, the lane is automatically opened and ready for play. Guests can then proceed to the front desk to collect their rental shoes. This streamlined workflow allows centers to maintain operational control while significantly improving guest flow. For busy centers, this means: * Shorter lines during peak hours * Faster lane activation * Improved traffic flow * Reduced front desk congestion For guests, it means a modern, convenient experience that reflects today\u2019s expectations for self-service technology. The feature integrates seamlessly with existing Steltronic scoring and management systems, ensuring accurate tracking, smooth activation, and a consistent front desk process. While this new feature of turning on your own lane is only a portion of the kiosk system, remember that placing yourself on the waiting list, ordering food and beverage, are all part of this new and exciting kiosk system from Steltronic. {share:twitter} {share:facebook} {share:linkedin} \u200c \u200c \u200c    31 YEARS AT EXPO 31 years.
