Specialist software: the best way to keep ski rental customers satisfied

Ski rental brands and stores are adopting mobile apps and going digital. This seasonal business is evolving in response to changing consumer habits, including an increasing tendency to book equipment online and at the last minute. As well as being innovative and reliable, Orisha Ginkoia’s ski rental management software is the only one on the market that offers mobile solutions and is only billed during the months your business is open.

Your challenges are satisfaction, efficiency and digitisation

Most of today’s skiers are e-consumers and book their equipment online before their holiday, since they want to spend as little time as possible in-store.

They are also looking for more services and personal advice on ways to improve their technique or new activities to try out.

Ski technicians must be capable of providing highly specialised expertise, efficiently meeting the customer’s needs, and accurately logging each item rented out.

The customers lining up at stores in mountain resorts have diverse needs. From the VIP requiring delivery at their hotel using a mobile app to the customer expecting to be served in-store at the time they specified using their smartphone while on the way, or the one who pre-booked equipment just now via a terminal or smartphone, there are many different journeys through a ski rental store. Not forgetting the need to optimise the utilisation rate for the equipment you rent out, which is vital to maintain profitability.

"My skimans have been using the Mobilité Location Ginkoia app since the beginning of the season, and it has already become a great asset in our day-to-day work."

Annick Kretchmann, manager of a Skimium rental store

"Ginkoia is my everyday tool. It grants me a clear, real-time vision of the stocks across my shops, and it's a relevant and reliable source of information.

Julien Flammier, manager of 2 Intersport stores, 1 Terre de Montagne store and 2 independent stores

"Our multi-site network really comes into its own thanks to Ginkoia. A customer can rent skis in Chamonix, exchange them in Argentière and return them in Vallorcine in the span of one day, all thanks to the information being available in real time. It’s a real plus for our customers.
