Our Turn-Key Service Helps You Get Up and Running Fast

Our customers rave about our reservation software, but they consistently say that their favorite thing about working with us is the service.

If you're like most activity operators, you'd love to implement a new booking system with the latest technologies, to help your business increase sales and run more efficiently. But maybe you're nervous about taking the leap... and rightfully so!

Implementing a new booking system can feel risky, especially when you've got to figure it out on your own, set everything up correctly and train your staff.

Let's face it -- if you're running a tour operation, you've got a lot on your plate already:

• Finances
• Operations
• Staffing
• Customers
• You name it!

What if something goes wrong?

With Starboard Suite's turn-key service, we're here to help you every step of the way.

Starboard Suite isn't just a reservation system -- we're your trusted partner, and we're here to make sure that things work smoothly for you.

Best of all, turn-key service is included with every Starboard Suite account!

What's Turn-Key Service?

Business Consulting / Requirements Gathering

We start with a phone meeting where we learn about your business and the specific booking issues you're looking to solve .

Template Design and System Configuration

Next, we design your new reservation system to match the look and feel of your website.

We configure Starboard Suite for your specific business: adding price levels, trip types and passenger types, and even populating the initial year of tours or activities on your calendar for you.

System Walk-through and Training

We schedule a time that's convenient for you to review your new booking system, and make sure we've got everything set up just right. We use the latest screen sharing technology to walk through your reservation system together, and even train you and your staff on the ins-and-outs of your new system.

Test Mode

After our training session, we hand you the keys, but we leave your reservation system in "test mode". This allows you and your staff to practice using your new booking system first-hand.

We provide test credit card numbers that you can use to process web, phone and walk-up reservations as if they were real.

You can make any final tweaks you might need to your email text or policy pages.

If you run into questions, we're here to help every step of the way.

System Certification

After a couple of days of using your booking system in "test mode", you feel confident that you can process reservations, run reports and manage your tour schedule.

You give us the "green light", which is our signal to clear out all of those test reservations you created and certify your system.

We put your system into live mode, run some charges through on a real credit card and verify that your funds are being deposited into your account.

After the certification process, you're ready to start booking!

24/7 Management

Setup and training are just the beginning for us. We continue to monitor your reservation system 24/7. We check on it every 60 seconds, all day and all night, to verify fast response times and make sure things are working well.

Our historical uptime of 99.9999% can let you rest easy.
