Everything Alpmate does — engineered for ski schools, MTB academies & outdoor centers.
Two halves of one seamless engine: a luminous booking website that converts guests, paired with the operational workspace your instructors and front desk run every day.
A bespoke booking website published to your own domain.
Generated directly from your active lesson & tour catalogue in seconds.
Not a generic template. Alpmate reads the products, prices, instructor skills, and calendar rules already in your workspace to generate your public booking site.
Catalogue-Synchronized Generation
Products, skill levels, locations, and pricing rules flow straight from your workspace. Prices and availability never drift or disagree.
Visual Studio & Live Preview
Reorder sections, update hero banners, preview mobile viewports live, and adjust brand themes without touching code.
Custom Domain & Instant SSL
Connect your existing domain (e.g. bookings.skischool-zermatt.ch) with guided DNS records and automatic Let's Encrypt SSL.
Multi-Season Dynamic Themes
Switch between winter ski school mode and summer mountain bike academy mode with a single toggle.
Sub-Second Static Edge Delivery
Pages are generated as high-performance static files served across global edge CDNs. Loads instantly even on spotty mountain 4G.
Natural Language Chat Editor
Describe edits in plain language ('add a notice about tomorrow's trail conditions') and review the changes before pushing live.
Availability that is guaranteed at the millisecond someone books.
Locks slots and equipment during payment so double-bookings are mathematically impossible.
The booking widget checks real-time guide schedules, terrain capacities, and rental fleet sizes at checkout. If a slot is being paid for, it is temporarily locked.
Real-Time Slot Locking
When a guest enters the checkout step, the slot is locked for 10 minutes. Two families cannot purchase the same instructor's private lesson.
Equipment Sizing at Checkout
Guests select height, weight, boot size, and helmet requirements during checkout, reserving matching gear from your locker fleet.
Direct Settlements to Your Bank
Connect your Stripe account or Swiss QR-Bill provider. Customer payments settle directly into your bank — Alpmate never acts as an escrow intermediary.
Reserve-Now-Pay-Later Option
Support walk-ins and phone inquiries with pending reservation status, sending automated payment links or taking in-person settlement.
Group Bookings & Family Roster
Collect participant names, skill levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Expert), and dietary/medical notes for entire groups in one seamless flow.
Automated WhatsApp & SMS Confirmations
Send meeting point pins, weather alerts, and instructor contact details automatically via branded SMS and email.
Intelligent matching by certification, language & terrain.
Eliminate morning whiteboard chaos and assign the right coach to the right guest.
Match mountain bike guides and ski instructors based on avalanche safety certs, language skills (EN, DE, FR, IT), and specific trail or off-piste accreditations.
Certification & Skill Matching
Never send an uncertified guide to a black diamond freeride clinic. System validates guide credentials before confirming assignment.
Mobile Coach Portal
Instructors log in on their phones to view today's roster, student names, lesson notes, meeting locations, and accumulated season earnings.
Live GPS & Meeting Point Dispatch
Pin precise mountain meeting spots (e.g. 'Gondola Top Station, Flag 3') with turn-by-turn map coordinates sent to participants.
Automated Month-End Payroll Reconcile
Calculate guide wages based on hourly rates, private vs. group tiers, and performance bonuses directly from completed bookings.
Instructor Availability & Time-Off
Staff submit availability blocks and vacation requests directly from the mobile interface for quick manager approvals.
Daily Run-Sheet & Manifest Export
Export PDF and live digital run-sheets for morning operations briefings in a single click.
Live bike & ski fleet tracking synced to lesson bookings.
Full lifecycle tracking for downhill bikes, e-MTBs, skis, boots, and safety gear.
Eliminate spreadsheet tracking. Alpmate ties equipment allocation directly to student lesson bookings, checking inventory health and maintenance hours.
Sizing & Sizing Matrix Validation
Automated matching of frame sizes (S, M, L, XL), ski lengths (cm), and boot sizes against participant height and weight specifications.
Maintenance & Service Logs
Track operating hours on rental bikes (suspension service, brake bleed intervals) and ski edges/wax cycles.
Multi-Locker & Depot Sync
Manage inventory across multiple mountain bases (e.g. Valley Rental Shop vs. Mountain Station Locker).
Damage & Security Hold Tracking
Log pre-rental inspection photos and process optional security deposits directly through the integrated POS view.
6 purpose-built roles, 6 tailored interfaces, one login.
Server-enforced access control ensuring guides see schedules while admins oversee finances.
Permissions are locked down on the server API, not simply masked in the frontend CSS. Each team member has a dedicated, focused portal.
Admin Portal
Comprehensive oversight: revenue analytics, school settings, fee reconciliations, tax reports, and platform configurations.
Operations Manager
Schedule optimization, instructor rosters, fleet dispatch, weather cancellations, and daily group capacity reallocations.
Front Desk & Receptionist
Speed-optimized walk-in and telephone booking entry, cash/terminal settlement, guest check-in, and instant ticket printing.
Guide & Instructor Portal
Mobile-first view of daily lessons, guest names, emergency contact details, student skill notes, and personal commission totals.
Equipment Vendor Portal
Rental shop view: displays upcoming daily gear pickups, sizing requirements, and returned asset checklists.
Hotel & Concierge Partner Portal
Local hotel concierges and tourist offices can book lessons for their guests and track their referral commissions in real time.
Enterprise isolation hosted in Swiss Tier IV cloud vaults.
Your customer data is stored in dedicated database schemas, never pooled together.
Unlike generic platforms that throw all customers into one shared table with a WHERE tenant_id filter, Alpmate provisions isolated data containers.
Per-Tenant Database Isolation
Physical segregation ensures no other school or operator can ever query or leak your customer contacts or financial ledgers.
Swiss revDSG & EU GDPR Compliant
Full compliance with Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection and European GDPR regulations with full data residency in Switzerland.
Direct Payouts Architecture
Funds go directly into your Stripe Connect account or Swiss QR-Bill bank. Alpmate holds zero operator money.
Daily Automated Encrypted Backups
Continuous write-ahead logging with point-in-time recovery and geographically redundant backups across Swiss datacenters.
How Alpmate compares to generic booking systems.
