Dive Shop 360, the leading dive shop management system and an all-in-one, cloud-based POS platform created exclusively for dive shops, has announced an integration with PADI. This strategic collaboration enables dive shops to easily and efficiently manage PADI diving certifications and courses directly through the Dive Shop 360 POS platform.
“This exciting integration between PADI and Dive Shop 360 is tailor-made for PADI dive shops who seek to streamline their business by integrating PADI services into a modern POS management platform,” says Kristin Valette Wirth, Chief Brand and Membership Officer for PADI Worldwide. “This collaboration offers PADI Members the convenience of handling all their business needs in one place – from training materials to certification cards – making it easier than ever before for them to support their customers who want to seek adventure and save the ocean.”
This new integration eliminates the hassle of manually transferring customer data. By automating the synchronization between the two systems, dive shops can now quickly assign eLearning codes to students, all while staying within the Dive Shop 360 POS platform. This allows them to easily manage student certifications, without having to switch between different platforms. With this time-saving feature, dive shops will be able to provide a better experience for their customers while also streamlining their internal operations. The seamless integration helps save valuable time and resources that can be used in other areas of their business.
Built by dive shop professionals for dive shop retailers, Dive Shop 360 is a best-in-class dive shop POS system created to make dive shop business customer transactions quick and easy. The all-in-one, cloud-based platform integrates POS, website and marketing tools and comes bundled with all modules necessary to manage a successful dive business, including courses, rentals, repairs, service reminders, destination travel, charter, air cards, gift cards and sales orders.
“We chose Dive Shop 360 because it’s the top POS platform and has everything we needed and more,” said Zachary Cantrell of Ventura Dive & Sport and Raptor Dive Charters. “We're excited to see how the system is continually innovating to make our jobs easier, and we look forward to benefiting from its PADI integration.”
“We are thrilled to partner with PADI and further our mission of supporting dive shop owners and operators. This integration simplifies the complicated administrative tasks behind running a successful business so dive shop owners can give their customers an unforgettable experience. By partnering with PADI, Dive Shop 360 will be able to provide its users with an easy-to-use platform that allows them to manage every aspect of their certification process in one place,” said Ken Colbert, General Manager, Dive Shop 360.
