BookingPOS

Works offline

No signal at the meeting point? Carry on.

Most booking software is a web page, and a web page stops when the connection does. BookingPOS keeps the day on the device.

Works offline

Keeps working when the internet doesn’t

The problem. A trailhead, a jetty, a desk with patchy Wi-Fi, or an outage at the provider: most booking software is a web page, and a web page stops when the connection does. Staff go back to paper and type it all in later.

What BookingPOS does. Approved phones, tablets and computers keep a copy of yesterday to the day after tomorrow: manifests, check-in, head counts, trip logs and the till for retail and hire. Changes wait on the device and go through when the connection is back. Anything that clashed is flagged for a manager, never lost.

  • Check people in and mark no-shows with no signal
  • Sell retail, hire and custom items, with an “offline sale” receipt
  • Head counts with GPS and the trip log, out in the field
  • Encrypted on the device and wiped when a device is removed

What waits for a connection: new bookings and anything that changes how many places are left, so a trip is never oversold.

Check-in offline

Check-in that doesn’t care about the Wi-Fi

The problem. The manifest won’t load at the meeting point, so the crew guesses who has turned up.

What BookingPOS does. Check-in, undo and no-shows work with no connection. A small clock shows each change still waiting to reach BookingPOS, and the banner says when it last synced.

  • The whole window, yesterday to the day after tomorrow
  • Find a booking or customer by name, reference or phone
  • Waivers, medical answers and money owing still shown

What works offline, and what waits

Works with no connection

  • Manifests and the day list
  • Check-in, undo, no-show
  • Head counts with GPS, trip logs and activity logs
  • Call lists and notes
  • Till sales of retail, hire and custom items on an open till
  • Finding bookings and customers in the window

Waits for a connection

  • New bookings and anything that changes places left
  • Online card payments and pay later
  • Selling or spending vouchers (no double spending)
  • Refunds, and opening or closing a till
  • Emails and texts

These are held back on purpose, so you’re never oversold and money is never counted twice.

Safe on the device

Only approved devices

A manager approves each device in Settings, and only roles allowed to keep data offline get a copy.

Encrypted

Medical and contact details are encrypted on the device.

Wiped when removed

Remove a device or change someone’s role and the copy is wiped on its next sync.
