Boat Reservation Systems
User Features and Benefits
- Easy to use -- Simple, intuitive, and unique click-to-reserve design.
- Configuratble for hourly and/or daily reservations. Any sets or groups of hours up to all 24 can be configured to be offered for reservations. Individual boats can have their own configurable set of available hours.
- Password protected so only you can make or cancel your reservations.
- Availability view is user configurable to show from one to 31 days of availability
information for all the boats and other resources in a group, starting at any specified date. Unlike other systems which show when a resource
is already reserved and thus force users to figure out when the boat they want is actually available, our system gives them what they really
need. They don't care so much to see when a boat is not available, they want to quickly see when it is available. Availability is displayed symbolically
and with color so it is easy to use regardless of how many reservations exist.
- Reservation view shows availability and existing reservations for a specific boat on
the day of interest and allows reserving, canceling, or wait-listing multiple hours or full days.
- Waiting lists. If the boat or other resource you want is already reserved you can put
yourself on a waiting list and, depending on the configuration, automatically
be assigned the reservation when a cancellation occurs or be notified
via e-mail when it becomes available.
- Make reservations up to two years in advance depending on the sponsoring organization's policy.
- E-mail confirmations of each reservation or cancellation are sent both to the member and the system manager. Members may have multiple e-mail addresses.
- My Reservations report shows all of your reservations and waiting list requests on one screen, and at the click of a button.
- One-click access to important details about each boat, including a picture.
- Available 24-hours a day and 365-days a year from anywhere you can connect to the Internet.
- Wireless access from your PDA such as a Palm Pilot, Handspring Visor, Compaq iPAQ, etc.
- Forgot your password? No problem. On request, the system will e-mail your password only to you. You may change your password at any time.
- No-spam policy. U-Reserve-It.com is committed to keeping your e-mail address private and will not sell or otherwise release your e-mail address to anyone.
- Members-only bulletin board provides a place to post messages, announcements, crew solicitations, items for sale, etc.
