Introduction to Gurita

Gurita is an all-in-one property management system (PMS) built for dive-travel businesses: land resorts, liveaboard dive vessels and dive centers. It brings reservations, guest management, billing, point of sale, dive operations, finance and reporting together in one place. This chapter explains what Gurita does, how it adapts to the kind of property you run, and how to find your way around. Read it first — the later chapters go deep on each area.
