Why Origin makes the best alternative to Acuity

Made For Adventure Guides

Acuity is appointment software, not tour booking software, which is why Acuity frustrates so many adventure companies. We built Origin for adventure guiding companies that rely on their guides’ availability to offer tours. 

Simple And Easy Booking Software

Acuity’s outdated booking software confuses their clients and their clients’ customers. Don’t lose money because your reservation technology is too complicated. Origin is quick to set up and easy to reserve trips through.

Eliminates Other Software Programs

Acuity users have to run multiple software programs because Acuity is extremely limited in what it can do. Origin brings guides, scheduling, booking, waivers, customer relationship management, reporting, and Stripe accounts onto one platform.

Booking Software For Adventure Guiding Companies

Automatically Adjust Group Sizes

Origin’s client-to-guide ratio tool auto-adjusts the number of open seats based on guide availability. This helps you avoid frustration and increases safety when there aren’t enough available guides for a trip. 

Prioritize And Rank Guides

Rank guides based on their experience, skills, knowledge, or interest. Origin automatically assigns prioritized guides first and then goes down your list based on guide availability.

Use Post-Trip Guide Reports

Track trip dates, assigned guides, attendees, booking details, and custom questions. Guides receive a link via text at the end of every trip to complete a report.

Reliable And Intuitive Reservation Technology

Acuity users say it’s not suitable for a customer-facing environment when certainty and speed are important. Using an outdated and error-prone system projects unprofessionalism and gives your customers a tedious experience.

Feel confident when creating and publishing your tours and managing your guides with our easy-to-use software. Publish a tour with an assigned guide in ten minutes and allow your customers to book in one click.

Get Quick Support (If You Need It)

Origin is intuitive. You’ll learn it in a day with our self-guided product tour. If you get stuck, we have a full library of Help Articles, a community forum, and a customer service response time of less than five minutes (with a real person).

Acuity users only have the option of emailing Customer Support and have to wait around for a response—even during emergencies. With an in-house engineering team and dedicated customer support, won’t have to wait around to get your question answered with Origin.
