Different ways to communicate

Reach customers where it matters

Keep important information available throughout the customer journey. Use booking forms and the Customer Portal for information customers can access themselves, and email or SMS when you need to actively keep them updated.

When personal contact makes more sense

Not every conversation should be automated. Customer contact details are available where your team needs them, so calling or emailing someone personally is always just a click away.

Automate routine updates and reminders so your team spends less time sending the same messages.

SMS messaging

For time-sensitive updates, email isn’t always enough. Send SMS messages to customers and instructors when lessons are approved or cancelled, so important changes are harder to miss.

  • Personalize SMS messages with dynamic fields
  • Keep operational updates clear and direct
  • Send messages to supported phone numbers worldwide

Emieck de Goede - Jibe City

Why didn’t we start sooner?

“Using VIKING Bookings still makes our jobs easier every day. In the beginning we were hesitant to make the switch. The guys from VIKING helped us every step of the way, and we love the platform. A great system that helps you save a lot of time in your kite school!”

Sjors van Leeuwen - Pepsports

Our customers love it!

"We never miss out with communication anymore! And we are not losing that personal contact, because our customers are updated when they feel they need to be updated"

"Viking Bookings offers a clear overview and a clear communication between us the instructors and the students. We can’t imagine anymore what our school would look like without Viking Bookings."
