About TIDEFORCE

Built by the daily

reality of outdoor sports schools.

We didn't start with software. We started on the water — running lessons, watching the wind, moving gear and keeping guests happy.

TIDEFORCE is the commerce and operations platform we wished we'd had.

Why we build TIDEFORCE

A booking is where the day starts
not where the work ends.

For fifteen years, our founder ran outdoor sports operations from the inside — first as an instructor, then as a center manager. Same pattern at every school: the booking was never the hardest part. The real work came after it.

Assigning instructors, preparing guests, matching gear, reacting to the wind and keeping the day moving lived in spreadsheets, group chats and paper schedules.

So we built the system we always needed: one platform that connects the moving parts of a school — from first reservation to daily execution to reporting. Software shaped by the season.

Our mission

Give every outdoor sports school one platform to run and grow its business.

So operators spend less time copying data and chasing messages — and more time doing what they got into this for.

Where we're going

Shopify gave modern commerce an operating layer. Outdoor sports schools need one of their own.

Booking was step one. We're building the commerce and operations layer for the whole category — so each school runs its own branded business, connects revenue and operations in one place, and grows on its own terms.

How we build

The principles behind the platform.

01

The real work starts after the booking.

We build for the day, not just the checkout.

02

With operators, not around them.

The product is shaped by the practical reality of running a school in season.

03

Connected beats complete.

One system that talks to itself beats ten tools that don't.

04

The school stays in control.

Its brand, its customer relationship and its data — always.

What we optimize

The daily outcomes
that matter in season.

01

Connected revenue

Services, guidebook and shop work together instead of living in separate tools.

02

Live daily operations

Bookings, planning, instructors, guests and gear stay connected in one operational view.

03

Less manual coordination

Office teams spend less time copying data, checking messages and rebuilding schedules.

04

Useful operational data

Check-ins, reports, payments, gear usage and sales create a clearer picture of the business.

05

Better guest and team communication

The right information reaches guests and instructors before, during and after each session.
