  • Set unique availability rules for each product
  • Handle fixed schedules, changing conditions and tide-dependent activities
  • Manage availability for lessons, rentals and camps

Viking management software
Everything in one place

Replace scattered calendars, emails and outdated schedules with one shared planning system.

Use your resources better

Plan around instructors, capacity and equipment so the resources you have are used more effectively.

Fewer planning mistakes

Automation and real-time synchronization reduce manual work and help keep your planning accurate and up to date.

Keep your whole team in sync

Planning updates in real time, so everyone works from the same schedule. When a booking or lesson changes, the latest information is immediately available to the people who need it.

  • Keep planning information synced in the cloud instead of relying on one person
  • See changes immediately so everyone works with up-to-date information
  • Give each user role clear tasks so your team can work faster and more consistently
Viking management software

Everything you need,
down to the details

Automatically fill available spots

Viking manages slot availability based on your settings and automatically fills available spots or instructor capacity as bookings come in.

Planning notes

Keep important notes from instructors and planners with the planning, so your team has the context it needs when building or adjusting the schedule.

Block availability when needed

Block time slots when plans change, giving you quick control over what customers can still book.

Instructors are optional

Not every activity needs an instructor. Set maximum availability per product and let customers book against your center’s capacity instead.

Walk-in bookings

Add walk-in customers through the booking form or let a staff member create the booking directly from the backend.

Adjust lesson duration

Adjust the duration of a lesson when needed and keep instructor compensation aligned with the updated lesson time.

Plan around the tides

Use Viking’s Tide Planner to set product-specific times around changing tide conditions.

Instructor settings

Define where instructors can teach, which products they are qualified for and their priority in the automated assignment order.

The heart of your planning

Automate repetitive planning work such as filling slots, matching availability and keeping booking information organized, giving your team more time for customers and operations.
