Experience and Resource Management
Operators can publish trips, set flat or per-person pricing, define map-based meeting points, and assign shared boats or equipment against guide availability.

A SaaS booking and operations platform for fishing guides, charter companies, rental businesses, and outdoor activity operators. Connected scheduling, payments, customer communication, and marketing tools help businesses manage experiences across web and mobile through a commission-free booking model.

Outdoor operators needed a connected way to manage reservations, guests, guides, and shared equipment. Separate scheduling, payment, communication, and reporting tools increased administrative work and made it harder to coordinate the resources required for each experience. Ditstek developed a cloud-based marketplace and POS platform that brings experience listings, online bookings, deposits, digital waivers, customer records, and financial reporting into one environment. Operators can embed booking widgets on their websites, while web, iOS, and Android applications support daily management and guest interactions. The booking engine coordinates guide availability with boats and equipment. Configurable cancellation rules support revenue protection, while AI-assisted content creation, campaign tools, and referral tracking help operators promote experiences. Modernized AWS infrastructure and controlled releases provide a foundation for continued platform growth.
Fragmented systems and lack of transparency created inefficiencies, limiting growth opportunities for guides, guests, and admins.
Operators managed reservations, guide calendars, and equipment through separate tools. Shared boats and other resources required manual coordination, increasing the risk of conflicting bookings.
Inconsistent slot availability and price recalculations complicated booking. Adult and minor waiver requirements added further complexity to checkout.
Fixed deposit arrangements and manual refunds limited flexibility when handling cancellations and no-shows. Operators needed policies that reflected cancellation timing and allowed exceptional adjustments.
Trip conversations were spread across channels, making booking details, photos, and updates difficult to track. Communication needed to remain connected with reservations and customer records.
Increasing users and transactions added database administration overhead. The platform needed a more scalable cloud foundation and controlled ways to introduce production changes.
Marketing, recurring passes, expenses, reporting, and access permissions were managed separately. Operators needed a clearer view of business performance alongside trip delivery.
Ditstek connected guest reservations with the operational tools outdoor businesses need before, during, and after an experience. Resource-aware scheduling, deposit-based payments, configurable policies, and integrated communication reduce manual coordination.
The booking engine checks guide schedules alongside shared boats and equipment. Operators can publish experiences, configure prices, assign meeting points, and allocate resources within one workflow.
Duration-based preparation buffers reserve turnaround time between experiences, helping operators account for equipment readiness and guide availability when accepting bookings.
Mandatory online deposits confirm reservations, with invoices for the remaining balance. Supported payment and arrival options accommodate different operator workflows.
Cancellation tiers calculate refund eligibility and deposit retention according to timing. Administrators can override policies for exceptional circumstances, including severe weather.
The database moved from Azure SQL to Amazon RDS for SQL Server, supported by ECS, Lambda, and EventBridge. Canary deployments and feature flags help manage production releases.
Reusable translation keys and validation support multilingual experiences. Subscription controls adjust module access after downgrades, while support-led approval governs new subscriptions.
