Origin overview

What is Origin?

Origin’s online booking and scheduling software helps grow your business and get you back outside. Our software streamlines administrative tasks like confirmation and reminder emails, sending and centralizing digital waivers, and organizing guests' information. Our one-of-kind guide management feature automatically assigns guides to trips based on their schedules, priority, and client-to-guide ratios. The Origin software also manages your gear rentals and inventory, so it's always up to date and you know exactly how much gear you have left. With an in-house IT team, we're constantly improving and adding new features based on our clients' feedback like integrating Mailchimp and Google Analytics.

“If we did not use Origin as our Booking Platform, then many hours would be needlessly wasted on booking customers, sending emails, and scheduling staff.”
