Six counter problems we solve

We talked to rafting, ATV, swing and snorkeling operators in Bali. The problems are nearly the same. Here is what Kalko changes.

01

Crowded counter, long lines

Before

Staff copy guest details one by one from paper forms while the next bus is already arriving. Guests wait, staff are overwhelmed.

With Kalko

Guests scan a QR on their phone, fill in their details and sign the waiver themselves — at the counter or already on the bus. Staff just scan the Booking QR.

  • Printable QR check-in poster
  • No app and no login for guests
  • Walk-ins can still be entered at the counter

02

Agent, driver and direct guests mixed up

Before

At month end it is hard to separate guests from agents, drivers and walk-ins. Agent invoices and driver commission are done by hand and often don’t match.

With Kalko

Every booking records its source. Net rates per agent per package and agent invoices for any date range, with PDF.

  • Direct & agent bookings kept separate
  • Different net rates per agent & package
  • Invoices for any period (e.g. 1–15, 16–20)

03

Piles of paper waivers

Before

Paper gets lost, handwriting is unreadable, guardian signatures are missed, and finding one for an insurance claim takes ages.

With Kalko

Digital waivers with a health declaration, mandatory guardian signature for under-18s, and one PDF per booking.

  • Document number & tamper-evident hash
  • Daily backups — never faded, never lost
  • Open any time, anywhere, found in seconds

04

Groups waiting too long, nobody notices

Before

On busy days a paid group can be forgotten. Agent guests who should go first get mixed with walk-ins.

With Kalko

An activity queue with automatic alerts at 30 and 60 minutes. Queue numbers are visible to staff only, so agent guests can go first.

  • First scan checks in, second scan starts the activity
  • 30 & 60 minute alerts
  • Agent priority without drama

05

Driver commission is messy

Before

Driver details live in a notebook, commission is calculated by hand and cash changes hands without proof — easy to get wrong.

With Kalko

Register drivers by scanning their KTP with the camera (no photo stored). Commission is paid weekly by transfer or cash with the recipient’s signature.

  • Driver details filled from the KTP
  • Proof of cash hand-over between staff
  • Commission history per driver

06

Cash and data are hard to control

Before

Owners don’t know who deleted a booking or voided a payment. Reports are rebuilt in Excel every night.

With Kalko

Roles per staff member, risky actions need a manager password and are emailed to the manager, a full activity log, and an owner-only summary.

  • Voids & deletions need approval
  • Accounting page for verification
  • Filtered reports as PDF & CSV
