Skydiving booking software: manifests, waivers & video

Skydiving: jumps booked, loads built, videos sold. Less ground time, more air time.

Bookings come in by phone and three voucher sites. Weights get checked on the scales at the counter, manifests live on a whiteboard and one cloudy morning means forty rebooking calls. We build booking, waiver, manifest and video systems for skydiving centres that all talk to each other. Then we host them and look after them.

Looking for skydiving booking software that handles weights, waivers and loads?

A skydiving centre runs on tight margins and short weather windows. Every tandem needs a weight, a signed waiver, a medical declaration, an instructor, a video choice and a seat on a load. Bookings land from your website, Rezdy or FareHarbor, voucher sites and hostel desks. Then the wind picks up and the whole day has to be shuffled by hand.

Wollopit builds custom skydiving software around how your drop zone actually runs. Customers declare their weight and sign the waiver when they book. Check-in is a tablet instead of a clipboard. Loads build from who's checked in and which instructors and camera flyers are free. When the weather turns, everyone on the affected loads gets a rebooking link by SMS. Video is sold at booking and delivered to their phone before they've left the car park. We connect the tools you already like and look after the lot on our own servers.

01The problems

What we hear from skydiving centres

Does your skydiving centre have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

Most drop zones we talk to have brilliant instructors and a well-run aircraft. The office side is held together with a whiteboard, a phone and someone who never gets a lunch break.

  • The problemThe phone never stopsHalf the day goes on answering 'can I jump Saturday?' and taking card numbers over the phone.
    How we fix itOnline booking with live load availability, deposits or full payment and instant confirmations by SMS and email.
  • The problemWeight surprises at check-inSomeone turns up well over the limit and the awkward conversation happens in front of the whole queue.
    How we fix itWeight declared at booking with clear limits, surcharge bands where you use them and a flag on anyone close to the line.
  • The problemPaper waivers and medical formsClipboards at the counter, handwriting nobody can read and boxes of forms in the back room.
    How we fix itOnline waivers and medical declarations signed before they arrive, stored against the booking and searchable in seconds.
  • The problemManifests on a whiteboardLoads get written up, rubbed out and rewritten every time someone's late or a camera flyer is short.
    How we fix itA digital manifest that builds loads from checked-in jumpers, tracks seats and aircraft weight and shows every load on a screen.
  • The problemCloudy morning, forty phone callsThe cloud base drops and someone spends two hours ringing people to move them.
    How we fix itOne tap puts loads on weather hold. Customers get an SMS with a rebooking link and pick a new date themselves.
  • The problemVoucher chaosVouchers from your own site plus RedBalloon, Adrenaline and Experience Oz, all checked by hand against a spreadsheet.
    How we fix itEvery voucher code checked at booking, redemptions logged and used or expired codes caught automatically.
  • The problemVideo sales left on the tableNobody asked at booking. Then they land buzzing and there's no easy way to buy it.
    How we fix itHandcam and outside video offered at booking, upsold at check-in and offered again after landing.
  • The problemVideo delivery on a USB stickFootage copied by hand, labelled wrong and handed over while the next load is boarding.
    How we fix itFootage uploaded once, matched to the jumper and sent to their phone as a private download link.
  • The problemShuttle pickups on paperThe pickup list for hotels and hostels is written the night before and changed three times by morning.
    How we fix itPickup points captured at booking with a driver run sheet on their phone that updates when bookings change.

03The systems

The big ones

Your whole drop zone, on one system.

These are the systems skydiving centres ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.

Jump bookings

Bookings that fill loads, not phone lines.

Customers pick a date, an altitude and a load time, declare their weight and pay online. Availability comes from the real manifest so you never sell a seat the aircraft doesn't have.

  • Tandems, AFF and group bookings
  • Availability by load and altitude
  • Weight declared with clear limits
  • Surcharge bands where you use them
  • Deposits or full payment via Stripe
  • Your vouchers and third-party codes
  • Hotel and hostel pickup points
  • SMS and email confirmations
  • Agent and hostel booking codes

Waivers & check-in

Signed, weighed and ready before they reach the counter.

Waivers and medical declarations are done on their phone after booking. At the counter a tablet confirms ID and weight, then sends them straight to the manifest with everything already filled in.

  • Online waivers signed ahead
  • Medical declarations with follow-up flags
  • Parent consent for minors
  • Reminders for anyone not yet signed
  • Tablet check-in at the counter
  • ID and weight confirmed on arrival
  • Video upsell at check-in
  • Records searchable in seconds

Load manifest

The whiteboard, retired.

Loads build themselves from who's checked in and which instructors and camera flyers are available. Seats and weights are tallied on every load and the board shows on any screen in the hangar.

  • Drag and drop load building
  • Seat count and total weight per load
  • Instructors and camera flyers assigned
  • Only current staff can be manifested
  • Fun jumpers added from their accounts
  • Call times on a hangar screen
  • Late arrivals moved in one tap
  • Load history for every day

Weather & rebooking

Bad weather, sorted in one tap.

When the cloud base drops or the wind picks up, put the affected loads on hold. Everyone gets an SMS with a rebooking link and picks a new date themselves while you get on with the day.

  • Weather hold by load or whole day
  • SMS and email via Twilio
  • Self-serve rebooking links
  • Rebooked jumpers moved on the manifest
  • Credits and refunds handled cleanly
  • Pickups updated automatically
  • Hold notes for staff on the day
  • Who's rebooked and who hasn't

Video sales

Every jumper offered the video. Every video delivered.

Handcam and outside video are offered at booking and again at check-in. After landing the footage is uploaded once, matched to the jumper and sent to their phone as a private download link.

  • Video offered at booking
  • Upsell at check-in and after landing
  • Handcam, outside video and photos
  • Footage matched to the jumper
  • Private download links by SMS
  • Camera flyer allocations
  • Video sales per load and per staff
  • Share-ready clips for socials

Sport jumpers & staff

Licences, tickets and repacks all in one place.

Fun jumpers prepay jump tickets and see their balance on their phone. Instructor ratings, medicals and reserve repack dates are tracked with alerts so nobody gets manifested when they shouldn't be.

  • Prepaid jump tickets and accounts
  • Licence and currency checks
  • Gear rental and packing fees
  • Balances on their phone
  • Instructor ratings and medicals
  • Reserve repack and AAD dates
  • Expiry alerts before they bite
  • Rosters on staff phones
04How it changes

Before and after

A cloudy morning, wolloped.

Here's how a weather-hold morning could change. Every drop zone is different, so we map yours first.

Before

  1. Cloud base drops at 7am and the first loads are scrubbed
  2. Ring every tandem one by one to move them
  3. Rewrite the whiteboard manifest for the afternoon
  4. Chase paper waivers from the ones who still turn up
  5. Nobody gets offered the video

After

  1. Morning loads put on weather hold in one tap
  2. Every affected jumper gets an SMS rebooking link
  3. They pick a new date and the manifest rebuilds itself
  4. Waivers were signed online days ago
  5. Video was added at booking and footage lands on their phone

07How we work

The process

Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.

We get properly below the surface of your skydiving centre: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We spend a day on the drop zone at the counter, the manifest desk and the hangar, then work out what's actually slowing you down.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: bookings, weights, waivers, loads, video, vouchers, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win before the next busy season.

  4. 04

    Look after

    We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks on a busy Saturday you call the people who built it.

08Questions

FAQ

Things skydiving centres ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

Can it handle our weight limits and surcharges?

Yes. Customers declare their weight at booking against your limits. Surcharge bands are applied where you use them and anyone close to the line is flagged for the team.

Can customers rebook themselves when the weather's bad?

Yes. Put loads on hold and everyone affected gets an SMS with a rebooking link. They choose a new date and the manifest updates on its own.

Can gift vouchers be used for jumps?

Yes. Your own vouchers and codes from RedBalloon, Adrenaline and Experience Oz can be redeemed in the booking, with used and expired codes caught automatically.

Can video be delivered digitally?

Yes. Footage is uploaded once, matched to the jumper and sent to their phone as a private download link. No more USB sticks.

Will it work with patchy reception on the drop zone?

We can build check-in and manifest screens that keep working when the signal drops and sync once it's back.

We already use Rezdy or Burble. Do we have to switch?

No. If a platform is doing its job we build around it: waivers, weather rebooking, video sales and the website on top. If it's holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.

How much does a skydiving booking system cost?

It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.

How long does it take?

Smaller jobs like online waivers or video delivery can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.

Who looks after it once it's built?

We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.

We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?

Usually, yes. Most skydiving centres we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
