How we work
Our consultants find the hours. Our technology team builds the tools.
Islandwise Consulting is the team you meet. Islandwise Technologies is the team and the shared engine behind every tool we build. Both are part of Islandwise Ventures Inc.
The consulting side
It starts with one question
What would you do with ten more hours a week?
Discovery is where we answer it. A consultant spends time with you and your staff and counts where the week goes, person by person and job by job: quotes, bookings, scheduling, re-keying, the same question answered forty times. Then we work out how our tools can be shaped around your business.
At the end of discovery we agree together on what the work is worth to you in your first year: the time it gives back, and what you'll put that time into. Your customers, a better product, the work that wasn't getting done. Our fee is 20% of that number, and you see it before you sign.
We build, then stay through the first season to run the tool with you. After that season we report back against the number we agreed.

How our tools work
Built once, shaped around each business
Islandwise Technologies keeps one set of working parts and improves them for everyone. When we build for you, we take the parts your business needs and shape them around how you already work, from your own ideas about what the business needs. You don't pay for us to invent a map or a booking system from scratch, and you get a tool that fits your week rather than someone else's. The screens below are from our working products, with sample data and made-up businesses.
Every place, on a map that works offline
A map of the places that matter to your customers, checked by hand, with the services nearby: gas, groceries, pharmacies, the emergency room. It keeps working with no signal.
Used in Guidepost and TeeTrip
A plan people can follow on their phone
Visitors or golfers build a trip day by day, share it with their group, and carry it on their phone. Times, drives and stops are worked out for them.
Used in TeeTrip and Guidepost
The booking stays with the business
Every stay, tee time and table links straight to where it's booked. Rounds and rooms can go on one booking, and each person in a group pays their own share.
Used in TeeTrip, Guidepost and Doorstep Websites
One record of every request
Front desk, golf shop, dining and grounds work from one screen. A guest's request from the app lands with the right team, and each team sees its own list.
Used in TeeTrip for Resorts
Each person sees their own view
Guests, members and owners open the same app and each see what's theirs: today's tee time, what's open, their bookings. When staff change a status, the app shows it.

The same counts, the same way, every season
A season plan for the off-season work, and a report that shows what the tool did: views, saves, taps and visits, week by week. It's how we report back against the number we agreed.

Your tool, your name. What your staff and customers use carries your name or the product's name. The parts underneath are maintained by Islandwise Technologies, so a fix or an improvement made for one business reaches every tool built on them. For partners and licensees →
