guides

One app for every guide, from schedule to payout.

Guides get their availability, assignments, and the meeting time and place on their phone before they leave the house. Onboard them once as 1099 contractors, and pay automatically for the trips they actually ran.

A missed meeting spot is not a guiding problem. It is a coordination problem

Most of what goes wrong with a guide crew has nothing to do with guiding: a put-in that changed and never reached the guide, or a client waiting at the wrong lot.

So the app should put the trip on the guide’s phone before they leave the house, and it should already know they are a contractor, not an employee, when it runs their pay.

what it does

The whole of it

Availability from the guide

Guides set the days they can work in the app. You schedule against what is true rather than what you remember them saying.

The meeting time and place, on their phone

Where to be, when, and who is coming. It reaches the guide before they leave the house, not as a text you have to send yourself.

Request and accept

Offer the trip, the guide accepts, and the assignment is settled. No chasing, and no trip that two people each thought the other had.

The trip in their pocket

Guest names, the party, the water, the put-in, dietary notes, and what has been paid. Available offline, because the canyon has no bars.

Pre and post-trip reports

What happened, what the client caught, what broke. Filed against the trip, which is where it is useful later.

Independent contractors, paid automatically

Onboard guides as 1099 contractors once. Pay runs automatically off the trip they ran, with no separate payroll step.

Extremely dedicated team focused on giving our company the tools to provide better service to our customers.

Payments and payroll

Take payment however your clients want to pay, pay your guides without a Sunday night spreadsheet, and keep every card fee you already negotiated.

Trips and scheduling

Every trip, every guide, every location on one calendar — day trips and multi-day camps in the same view, because they compete for the same people and the same boats.

Teams and locations

Roles that match how a real crew works, and multiple shops, lodges, or businesses under one roof without three logins and three client lists.
