Kris explains the difference.

Separate tools, spreadsheets and a patchwork of processes: Kris describes how moving to a connected system feels in his school.

“Everything works as one, from one provider.”

He also makes clear what it takes: learning the system and keeping records up to date.

English translation. Question: What does TIDEFORCE mean to you? Kris: You cannot really compare it with anything that has been on the market before. The range of features and the completeness of the system are so comprehensive that, in my view, it is not comparable to any other system. Of course, that comes with the drawback that you do need to learn your way around the system before you can use all its features. You also need to understand how, where and when to use them. You have to enter the data, and you have to do it properly. But once you have done that, it is an incredible advantage over what used to be a patchwork. You had one tool, then another, and perhaps a third. And then you were maintaining Excel spreadsheets as well. Now everything works as one, from one provider and in one place. And that is a huge advantage.

01 / The principle

Sell. Deliver. Understand.

With TIDEFORCE, we are developing a platform category for the whole school business: Commerce & Operations. Bookings, guests, sessions, staff and equipment relate to each other. Those connections open up possibilities beyond any individual task.

  1. Commerce

    Customers book your services, buy your products and pay.

  2. Operations

    Your team plans the work and records what was delivered.

  3. Intelligence

    You analyse the recorded commercial and operational data.

Behind every great experience is a team working together.

One guest. More than one purchase.

A course and a school shirt, a rental and an equipment purchase: services and physical products come together in one cart. Your customers complete their purchase in a shared checkout.

Booking & Checkout

One piece of equipment. Its whole journey.

A board is scheduled, rented out and its usage recorded. Later, the same inventory item can be offered as used equipment through the connected shop.

Shop & E-Commerce

One stay. Connected moments.

Customers can find their daily plan, equipment details, recommendations and session reports. They can rate sessions and explore more of what your school offers. The app is optional; email and browser access keep them connected throughout their stay.

02 / Connected data

Understand the business behind the activity.

Connecting sales and delivery lets you explore commercial and operational questions in the same system. See demand, actual payments and recorded work from different perspectives.

What was booked — and what was paid?

Booking value and paid revenue stay distinct. Date ranges and previous-period comparisons show how your business is developing.

Understand revenue

When are guests arriving?

New bookings and arrivals within the selected period reveal different demand patterns — useful context for your daily and team planning.

Explore demand

Which equipment is actually being used?

Recorded usage hours, assignments and condition help you plan stock, maintenance and replacement.

Understand equipment usage

What work has your team delivered?

Session reports connect hours, participants and equipment used. Each team member’s profile brings these records together to help you review and prepare their pay.

Explore team reports

Good insight starts with good data. Analyses depend on recorded activity and your access permissions. Missing data and partial coverage remain visible.
