From being glued to your emails and phone, to a seamless customer journey
I love kitesurfing. I used to love teaching others to kitesurf, as well. That’s right: used to — until I really, really didn’t. Running my own school, Kiteboardschool.nl, I quickly found out how extremely hard you have to work to keep everyone happy. More success only meant more phone calls, more emails and loads more stress.
I knew something had to change. That’s how Viking was born. In close partnership with a team of skilled developers, we transformed our challenges into opportunities. Suddenly, I had this insanely powerful tool on my hands that was perfect for my own kiteschool.

Milestones combine the ability to track the level of your students, with customizable theory-pages that allow customers to prepare for lessons at home. As students progress, new levels automatically unlock in the customer portal. This encourages customers to book more lessons.

With comprehensive planner views, tracking and adjusting the student's level is effortless.
