  • Clear tasks are predefined for each user role, allowing everyone to execute tasks faster and more effectively.

the details

Auto fill up lessons

Viking automatically manages slot availability, filling up each spot (or instructor) based on your settings, while you enjoy a hands-off scheduling experience.

Messaging function

Viking's messaging function enables planners to access crucial notes and remarks from instructors or other planners, aiding in the creation of an optimal schedule.

Block last minute

With Viking's blocking setting, you can easily block slots last minute as needed, providing flexibility and control over your scheduling.

Instructors optional

In Viking, instructor accounts are optional. You can set maximum availability per product without relying on instructor availability.

Walk-in bookings

For walk-in bookings, customers have two options: they can either fill out the booking form with a staff member or be added directly by the staff member from the backend.

Adjust duration

Viking allows you to adjust the duration of a lesson, ensuring that instructors are compensated accordingly based on the revised lesson duration.

Tide dependent

With Viking's Tide Planner, you can set the specific time for each product, guaranteeing optimal conditions for accurate scheduling.

Instructor settings

You can customize instructor settings by specifying their teaching locations, the products they are qualified to teach, and priority in the automated picking order.

The beating hart

Viking's automated planning eliminates repetitive tasks like emailing, slot filling, and customer information requests, streamlining your workflow and saving you valuable time.
