About "Know The Ropes:"

Here are just a few examples of what “Know the Ropes” can do for you:

“Know the Ropes” enables challenge course directors to manage ropes equipment inventory by identifying the hourly usage and participant load of a particular ropes element. The software automatically distinguishes when a rope approaches its safe length of service and needs replacement. This information is critical for risk management purposes to prevent unsafe overuse of a particular rope.

“Know the Ropes” allows managers to generate multiple types of reports which include (but are not limited to) rope/equipment usage, internal pre-course inspection information, income expense reports, ropes use logs, and ropes course users.

“Know the Ropes” also helps course directors manage the information concerning the groups who use their facilities. Accessing group contact information, identifying customer use over time, outlining individual and group goals, tracking course elements utilized, listing facilitators that worked with the groups, and recording the rates charged are among some of the benefits accrued from using this software.

“Know the Ropes” enables managers to immediately access information about their employee facilitators. Contact information, training and certification levels, scheduling and pay rates are a few of the record-keeping benefits that will assist course managers.

“Know the Ropes” has a place for managers to incorporate their own forms within the software program. Liability waivers and recommended clothing lists can be integrated within the software program.

"Know the Ropes" enables facilitators and managers to manage their own portfolios. A ropes course portfolio helps individuals record their training, certifications, degrees earned, and the groups they have facilitated on the ropes course. This information can be used to facilitate the challenge course certification process.

"Know the Ropes" integrates with the 30Boxes web calendar and provides automatic updating of the 30Boxes calendar when programs are added to Know The Ropes.

“Know the Ropes” is a comprehensive computer program that will help ropes directors more efficiently and effectively manage a challenge course facility. We sincerely believe that this program will help facilitate more accurate and reliable management information and permit course directors to operate their facility in the safest and most enjoyable manner possible. We are confident that you will agree!
