Ticketing for rafting¶
This morning, the water level is high and your instructor team announces a reduced capacity of three rafts for the 10am trip. A corporate group that arrived without a reservation is waiting at the counter, while a family booked its 2pm trip the day before on your website.
Each rafting session is capped by the number of rafts and instructors available that day, and by the wetsuits and helmets that need to be collected and reassigned between two departures. Without a capacity adjustable in real time, a last-minute reduction in the number of rafts can quickly lead to overbooking.
The Billetterie module for Odoo drives this constraint directly within your Odoo environment : a per-trip capacity adjustable in real time, a single ticket whether the booking comes from the counter or the website, and access control that prevents any overbooking when the water level forces you to reduce the number of departures.
The 4 key benefits¶
-
A seamless visitor experience
Booking at the counter or online, same ticket, same check before boarding — no difference in handling regardless of the sales channel.
-
Controlled trips
Adjust the number of participants per trip based on the rafts and instructors available, with no manual re-entry when the weather changes.
-
Attendance tracked in real time
Monitor bookings and revenue per trip, directly within your Odoo environment.
-
Native Odoo integration
No third-party tool to connect : ticketing relies directly on your existing Odoo CRM, accounting, and inventory.
What each module brings to your rafting activity¶
The Billetterie module builds on Odoo's existing building blocks — each one covers a step of the visitor journey, from booking to boarding.

Channels manager : expanding distribution (coming soon)¶
A rafting base rarely sells through a single channel : tourist offices, partner campsites, and outdoor activity booking platforms also relay your trips. The Channels manager module, currently in development, will let you sync your availability with these external channels directly from Odoo, with no manual re-entry.

A rafting base often attracts the same audience as other outdoor or sporting leisure venues. Two other sectors worth exploring :
- Tours — for your guided tours in nature or by canoe (see the example)
- Destinations — for tourist offices that promote outdoor activities across your area (see the example)
