Frequently Asked Questions
Can we sell summer camps / courses, private lessons, and rentals in one system?
Yes—Bloowatch lets you sell your full sailing offer through online checkout and on-site POS. Camps / multi-session courses / private coaching. Equipment rentals and add-ons. Yearly memberships, moorings, shop items.
Can we take deposits, partial payments, or payment links to reduce no-shows?
Yes—you can request payment in the format that fits your operation and booking risk. Deposits or full amount at booking. Payment links to send from a call or WhatsApp chat. Pre-authorisation links to get card-on-file and defer payment to the day of activity - useful for schools with high frequent cancellation due to bad weather for example.
Can partners and agents book for us— and can we manage commissions?
Yes—partners can place bookings easily without having to contact you, and you can track commissions without spreadsheets. Partner/referral bookings with agreed rates. Commission rules and reporting. Everything lands in the same calendar and revenue view.
Do you support OTAs as an additional sales channel?
Yes—Bloowatch can connect via its channel manager to selected OTAs so you can expand beyond direct sales. OTA bookings come into the same inventory. Avoid double bookings with synced availability. Central tracking by channel (direct / partners / OTAs).
Will POS, web sales, partners, and OTAs stay in sync automatically?
Yes—availability, pricing rules, and booking status stay aligned across channels. One “source of truth” for capacity and schedules. Changes propagate to avoid manual back-and-forth. Cleaner ops when it’s busy and changes happen fast.
Can we manage multi-week camps and courses and reshuffle quickly?
Yes—Bloowatch is built for the “summer rush” reality of dinghy sailing schools and training blocks. Multi-session planning + cohort handling. Clear rosters for staff and front desk.
Can we handle instructor scheduling and give controlled access?
Yes—you can schedule instructors easily, and there are different permission levels (including mobile access for the team). Assign instructors by availability and role. Set permissions (e.g., instructors only see their upcoming agenda). Mobile access so the team can check schedules on the go.
Can we allocate boats and gear for lessons and rentals—and track what’s actually used?
Yes—manage fleet and equipment allocation so the right kit is assigned and visible. Allocate boats/gear per session or rental. Track usage and availability at unit level. Operational insights on utilisation and ROI.
Do you support waivers and forms for minors, medical info, and liability paperwork?
Yes—collect forms digitally and keep them linked to the booking and client profile. Parental consent, medical forms, photo release, liability waivers. QR codes / links for pre-arrival completion. Faster check-in with everything “ready before dock time”.
How does the admin/accounting side work (POS close, invoices, exports, ledgers)?
Bloowatch helps you close the day cleanly and export structured data for accounting. POS closure + invoicing (incl. quotes/credit notes where used). Exports aligned with ledgers / chart of accounts logic. Granular reporting by channel + occupancy + operational performance.
