About
Beyonk is a dedicated booking management solution tailored for surf schools and outdoor experience operators. It replaces clunky, paper-based systems with a slick, mobile-optimised platform that is 70% quicker to checkout than traditional booking flows. Operators can configure multiple activity schedules and time slots, assign staff members to specific sessions, and track physical resources like surfboards to prevent overbookings automatically. Beyond core scheduling, Beyonk provides a suite of revenue-maximisation tools. Operators can add upsells and cross-sells at checkout, sell gift vouchers to attract new customers via word-of-mouth, and distribute ticket listings across major online travel agents (OTAs) such as Expedia and GetYourGuide via a built-in channel manager. Clients using these features have reported up to 9% revenue uplift from add-ons and an additional 10.5% from OTA distribution. Beyonk also tackles operational pain points unique to outdoor activities: last-minute weather cancellations are handled through flexible rescheduling and refunds in a few clicks, tide-table-friendly time slot configurations reduce admin, and digital waivers let guests sign documents ahead of arrival. A point-of-sale feature supports in-person payments, rounding out the omnichannel experience. The platform is backed by a dedicated support team that guides onboarding and ongoing optimisation, making it suitable for small surf schools and larger outdoor activity businesses alike.
Key Features
