Why is there a need for Floatist in the Yacht Charter Market?

Is the same as asking yourself - why is there a need for digitisation in the industry? While we could point out many reasons for this, the answer is quite simple: it’s the future.

The charter world as we all know and love, has experienced slow adaptation of the new trends. As it’s an industry like no other, with many variables and a fairly complicated product, it can be sometimes difficult to change our ways.

From experience, everything as is right now works in the business. It may not be the fastest, most efficient, more glamorous way, but hey, it works. Right? That is where Floatist comes in. As todays’ market is becoming more and more competitive, and the choice for the end consumer broadens, having the most efficient, pleasant and cost-effective systems in place can very well make the sale.

Today’s hospitality and tourism consumer is already expecting suppliers to be in the digital world, from customer service all the way to room characteristics. When given a choice, most of us prefer to spend our money on something that we trust and can understand - and digitisation is here to make that possible.

Floatist was born from our own experience in the charter industry - where there was a realisation that every step of the way can be made swifter from every stakeholder perspective. The current market as observed, is very much pen and paper - or trusting your more experienced technical staff to memorise everything.

A few of the challenges this can impose are:

  • Lack of consistent data (making it more difficult to improve based on analysis)
  • All your eggs in one basket
  • Human error amplified
  • Intensified waiting times
  • Greater time spent assisting the end customer
  • Manual staff and task management
  • ... and many more!
