Product Catalog & Scheduling

Build your trip lineup once. Freebo handles the schedule logic.

✦ Key takeaways

  • Products have two kinds: fixed-slot (set departure times, fixed guest counts) and flex-duration (private bookings, variable hours, guest-banded pricing).
  • Schedules are reusable across products — define a Mon/Wed/Fri 9am departure once and apply it to every trip that uses the same time.
  • Assets (boats, vans, guides, equipment) are linked to products and act as the real capacity ceiling. The asset’s max occupancy is what Freebo enforces.

Your trip lineup is the foundation of everything. Freebo’s product catalog is where you define what you offer, when it runs, and what makes it possible.

Each product has a kind: fixed-slot for tours with set departure times and a guest cap per trip, or flex-duration for private charters where the customer picks their own duration and the pricing scales with hours and guest count. Both live in the same catalog and share the same scheduling and asset infrastructure.

Schedules define when a product runs — day-of-week patterns, seasonal windows, start times. You set them once and Freebo generates the available slots automatically. When you update a schedule, every future slot updates with it.

Assets are the physical things that make a trip happen: a specific vessel, a van, a guide, a set of paddleboards. You define each asset once with its max occupancy and availability rules, then link it to one or more products. Freebo’s availability engine checks the asset — not just the product — before confirming any booking.

  1. Create a product

    Name it, set the kind (fixed-slot or flex-duration), write a description, and set base pricing. The product goes live when you’re ready.

  2. Attach a schedule

    Pick departure days and times or define a recurring window. Freebo generates bookable slots from that schedule automatically.

  3. Link an asset

    Connect the boat, van, or equipment that powers this product. Its capacity and availability become the real booking limits.

Can one asset support multiple products?
Yes. A single boat can power a morning sunset cruise and an afternoon snorkel trip. Freebo checks the asset's availability across all linked products, so double-booking the asset is impossible.
How do I handle seasonal products that only run part of the year?
Schedule windows have a start and end date. Set your season dates on the schedule and Freebo will only surface slots within that window to customers and the booking calendar.
