Overview

Checkfront provides a booking management platform that lets tour and activity operators accept reservations, process payments, track customers, sign waivers and documents, and manage pricing, seasonality, and inventory. The platform integrates with partners including Square, Tripadvisor, Expedia, and QuickBooks. Since launching in 2010, the company has grown to more than 5,000 customers in over 120 countries and has processed $5.5 billion in online bookings. Checkfront plans to use new funding to speed development of new products, hire talent, expand sales and marketing, and form new partnerships. The company emphasizes serving operators that still lack real-time online booking and inventory capabilities. Leadership includes founders Grant Jurgeneit and Jason Morehouse, with Morehouse serving as CEO. Checkfront offers cloud-based online booking and reservation software that can operate on almost any website and supports over fifty free integrations, including Xero, WordPress, Mailchimp, TripAdvisor, QuickBooks and Stripe. The product targets tour providers, accommodation managers and rental businesses and is used in more than 80 countries. Led by Jason Morehouse and Grant Jurgeneit, the company has a team of 20 operating out of Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia. Checkfront raised $1M in its first round of funding to support growth. The company intends to use the funds to accelerate growth, pursue strategic partnerships, and expand the team.
