Three guys – two from Missoula, MT and one from New York figured out a way to automate the reports that outfitters have to submit at the end of the year to the Montana Board of Outfitters and Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks with their new product called GuidePool.
The GuidePool team has been invited to present during lunch at the (FOAM) Fishing Outfitters Association of Montana annual member meeting in Bozeman on March 14th,2015.
Outfitter Problem
Before GuidePool outfitters would have to submit the same set of information for each of their fishing trips to 2 or 3 reports. This means as an outfitter you’re having to duplicate your work 2 or 3 times.
GuidePool Solution
The GuidePool team saw an opportunity to allow outfitters to fill out the data 1x and have it populate all of the other reports automatically with the click of a button.
“A few of our outfitters said it used to take them 2 or 3 weeks to do this reporting, with GuidePool – it takes 2 or 3 minutes!” – Harry Ward, GuidePool Web Developer
