Kayak and paddleboard rental

Upsells and Add-Ons for Paddle sports operators

Ask a kayak and paddleboard rental operator what breaks and the answer is never the booking form. The constraint here is a board reaching the next launch point inside the tide window.

NO MONTHLY FEE  ·  4.5% AT CHECKOUT  ·  PAID BY YOUR CUSTOMER

Kayak and paddleboard rental operations, specifically

Units are delivered to launch points rather than collected from a shop, weather moves bookings constantly, and a returned board needs to be back at a different launch within the hour to make the next slot.

Upsells and add-ons

What the platform does here is narrow and specific. Add-ons, upgrades and bundles offered against the booking at checkout and afterwards, priced and stocked like everything else.

The problem it removes: margin left on the counter because the upsell lived on a laminated card nobody read. The number to watch is attachment rate, and average order value against the same unit count.

Add-ons draw on the same inventory as everything else, so offering a second helmet depends on a helmet being free that week. An add-on that oversells is worse than one you never offered.

How does Bodhisys handle upsells and add-ons for paddle sports operators?

Bodhisys is rental operations software for companies that rent things, vehicles and experiences. It was built for rental inventory rather than adapted from a ticketing system, and it has been in market since 2023.

For paddle sports operators, add-ons, upgrades and bundles offered against the booking at checkout and afterwards, priced and stocked like everything else.

There is no monthly fee. A 4.5% charge is added to each reservation and paid by your customer at checkout.

Bodhisys is younger than FareHarbor and Peek Pro and has a smaller install base. An operator whose revenue is mostly timed tours, or who needs a long list of third-party integrations today, is better served by an incumbent.

Questions

How is this different from a tour booking flow?

A tour flow sells a seat at a time. A rental flow has to capture what leaves, where it goes, when it comes back and who is responsible for it in between.

What does Bodhisys cost?

There is no monthly fee. A 4.5% charge is added to each reservation and paid by your customer at checkout.

Can we move our existing data across?

Yes. Customers, future reservations and booking history migrate from FareHarbor, Peek Pro and Bike Rental Manager.
