Booking, Scheduling, And Guide Management—All In One
Give Your Clients The Best Day On The Water
Whether you’re managing the boat, offering casting tips, landing your client’s fish, or just talking to them, your job is to lead your clients to fish and help them reach their goals.
To give your clients a damn good fishing story, there’s a lot of work behind-the-scenes. Use Origin’s tools to better understand what your clients want to catch and get them coming back season after season. Review your guests’ previous trips, their account information, current skill levels, preferred meal, rental gear, and any information a Guide leaves in the post-trip report.

Spend More Time On The Water With Robust Guide Management Software
Guides Can Access Their Own Calendar
Streamline your scheduling and have your Guides manage their availability and accept or reject trips within the platform. You can finally ditch the pen and paper and non-stop texting.
Options to Assign Guides Automatically
Free up your time by prioritizing your Guides based on their seniority. The platform will automatically assign higher-ranked Guides first, and goes down the list based on availability.
Maintain Client-To-Guide Ratios
Automatically maintain the correct client-to-guide ratios with a few clicks. Because you can set the number of open seats based on available Guides, you don’t have to worry about cancellations or refunds due to over-booking.
“I texted my regulars and I put a post on social media linked directly to my web page. I asked the returning customers how they liked Origin compared to Checkfront and they basically were like, ‘Oh, super easy.’”
A Seamless Liability Waiver Experience For Anglers
Origin’s waiver system is included with no extra cost so you can access everything from one platform.
Every person in a group receives your liability waiver link when they book a fishing trip with you. Plus, the system collects their contact details for marketing or information purposes in the future.
Automatic emails and texts remind guests of any unsigned waivers before the trip, and follow-up emails are sent to request reviews after everyone is done fishing.
“We were running multiple systems, and I hated that. Origin is an all-inclusive platform for your waivers, guides, scheduling, and booking on board. I only have to use one system, which obviously I prefer.”
Track Inventory, Gear, And Equipment Without A Hitch
Whether you’re guiding beginner, intermediate, or advanced anglers, you’ll need a sturdy boat or waders, high-quality gear, and you’ll need an easy way to track and manage it all.
Everything in the Origin platform connects and works together. Any add-on or rental gear links to your inventory, so you’re never short on fishing gear. Doing maintenance on your equipment or something broke? Block time off on the calendar so they don’t get scheduled for a trip.
