Dissatisfied with conventional paper methods, we embarked on a journey to devise a solution centered around the use of RFID wristbands for tracking time. This innovative concept emerged during a memorable skiing trip to Mammoth, where the efficiency of their RFID ticketing system sparked the question, "Why not implement something similar for our kayak and stand-up paddleboard rentals?" Partnering with Waiverking.com, we began to build a foundational tracking system aimed at measuring the average rental durations over time. We also considered a pay-per-use pricing model, as many customers expressed frustration when they were charged for an additional hour after slightly exceeding their reserved time. After thoroughly examining the data gathered from our initial season, we were able to rationalize a shift in our pricing strategy, which continues to guide our future decisions. Our system, known as ARS, not only improves the customer experience but also increases revenue while reducing costs. Customers now enjoy the convenience of accessing their waivers and receipts, securely stored in their profiles, making rental management simpler than ever. This innovative strategy has significantly revolutionized our operational approach, allowing us to better meet the needs of our clientele. Additionally, we have created a more efficient workflow that ensures our team can focus on providing outstanding service.
