Switching the system your school runs on is the part nobody looks forward to. You already have a list of activities, a price structure that took years to get right, a customer list and a shed full of gear — and the fear is that adopting something new means typing all of it in again before you can take a single booking.
Setup & Control is the part of TIDEFORCE that gets you from empty account to taking real bookings without that pain. You build your offer with guided onboarding, get a head start from AI-assisted setup, check everything in a Live Preview before customers ever see it, and bring your existing customers and equipment in by import — so you go live with your core offer fast and keep what you already built.

Onboarding walks you through the setup that matters first: your activities, your locations, your capacity and your prices. The goal is to get your core offer live and bookable quickly, then refine the details as you go, rather than blocking your launch on every edge case being perfect on day one.

To give you a head start, TIDEFORCE can draft parts of your setup for you — activities, descriptions and storefront copy — which you then review and adjust. This AI-assisted setup and creation is experimental: treat it as a first draft that saves you typing, not a finished configuration. You stay in control of what goes live.

Nothing reaches your customers by accident. You build and change things as a draft, see exactly how they will look and behave in Live Preview, and only then publish. It means you can set up a new course, adjust a price or restyle your storefront with confidence, because you have looked at the real result before it goes out.

Your prices are not one flat number, and setup reflects that. With Pricing Modes and seasonal pricing per activity and location, you map the way you actually charge — different rates by season, by activity, by site — into the system once, so the right price comes out at checkout without you patching it by hand each time.
Self-serve CSV import for customers and equipment

Bring your history with you. You can import your customers and your material from a CSV yourself, so existing guests and your inventory are in TIDEFORCE from the start instead of being retyped. This self-serve import covers the common case; a full migration from a previous system is white-glove — we do it together with you, not something you are left to figure out alone.

Your storefront should look like your school, not like a generic template. Tenant branding lets you put your identity on the customer-facing side, so what guests see when they book reads as you. You preview the result in Live Preview before publishing.

Setup & Control runs on the same connected data as the rest of TIDEFORCE, so what you configure during onboarding is what powers your bookings, operations and pricing — there is no second system to reconcile. Pricing is a take-rate of 6.9% per processed transaction, payment fees included, with no setup or monthly fee. Hosting is in the EU on Google Cloud, GDPR-compliant, and your data stays yours — TIDEFORCE is a platform you run your school on, not a marketplace.
Frequently asked questions
01How fast can I go live?
+
Guided onboarding is built to get your core offer — your activities, locations, capacity and prices — live and bookable quickly, then let you refine the details afterwards. We help you go live fast rather than promising a fixed number of hours or days, because every school's offer is a little different.
02Can I import my existing customers and equipment?
+
Yes. You can import your customers and your material from a CSV yourself, so your existing guests and inventory are in TIDEFORCE from the start instead of being retyped.
03Can you move me off my current booking system?
+
Yes, and a full migration from a previous system is white-glove — we do it together with you. Self-serve CSV import covers customers and material directly; a complete switch from another system is something we handle with you, not a one-click self-serve process.
04Will changes go live before I've checked them?
+
No. You work in drafts and see exactly how a change will look and behave in Live Preview, then publish when you're ready. Nothing reaches your customers until you publish it.
05What does the AI-assisted setup actually do?
+
It gives you a head start by drafting parts of your setup — activities, descriptions and storefront copy — which you then review and adjust. It is experimental, so treat its output as a first draft that saves typing, not a finished configuration. You stay in control of what goes live.
06Can I make the storefront look like my school?
+
Yes. Tenant branding lets you put your own identity on the customer-facing side, and you can preview the result in Live Preview before publishing.
