One Child. Five Visits. Five Different Waivers.
All Signed by Different People.
That's what other systems allow. New waiver every visit. New account every time someone different shows up. No matching. No intelligence. Just chaos.
wakesys recognizes the same guest every time. One profile, one waiver history, correct guardian signature. Because we run parks too, and we got tired of the mess.
Duplicates Don't Just Look Bad. They Destroy Everything.
Every duplicate profile creates a cascade of problems across your entire operation.
Shit In, Shit Out
- Your database is your business intelligence foundation
- Fill it with duplicates → Reports become unreliable
- Can't make decisions on bad data. Period.
Analytics Are Useless
- How many times has Sarah visited? 1 or 5?
- Can't identify VIPs, can't spot trends
- Can't reward loyalty you can't measure
Manual Cleanup Forever
- Someone has to merge duplicates manually
- Hours of tedious work every month
- And they just keep coming back
Wrong Data Gets Attached
- Staff clicks wrong "John Smith" profile
- Wrong booking history, wrong waiver linked
- It's not staff failure. It's system failure.
Waiver Chaos
- 5 duplicate profiles = Where's the current waiver?
- Wrong profile selected = Wrong waiver on file
- Friend's signature when parent visits weekly
Check-In Takes Forever
- "Which John Smith are you?" 15 times a day
- Queues get longer, guests get frustrated
- Time wasted that could be spent on guests
Marketing Doesn't Work
- Email the same person 4 times (4 duplicate profiles)
- Or miss them entirely (wrong profile emailed)
- Unsubscribes because you're spamming them accidentally
Customer Metrics Are Fiction
- Unique customer count? Made up.
- Revenue per customer? Wrong.
- Customer lifetime value? Pure fantasy.
Other systems will tell you this is "normal" or "just clean it up manually." We built something better.
We Check. Every. Single. Time.
Every time a guest books online or walks in, wakesys automatically matches them against existing profiles. Same person? Same profile. No duplicates. Ever.
Online Booking
Guest enters email or phone → System instantly checks for existing profile → Match found? Use it. No match? Create new.
Walk-In Guests
Guest gives their name → System finds matching profiles and shows date of birth to confirm → Same kid who visited last month? Found instantly.
Children with Different Adults
Your daughter visits with a friend? With grandma? With you? All visits linked to ONE profile, automatically.
The Result
One Profile
No matter how many times they visit
Visits Tracked
All on the same profile, accurately counted
Different Adults
Child came with 10 different people? Still ONE profile.
Clean data from day one.
Forever.
Here's Why This Is Actually Dangerous
Without one profile per guest, you can't track relationships. Other systems don't know if the person signing the waiver is a parent or a friend. They just accept any signature and keep it on file.
Real Scenario: Your Daughter Visits Charleston Aqua Park
Week 1: Your daughter comes with a friend's parent
Friend's parent signs the waiver for your daughter.
Week 2: Your daughter comes with YOU (the actual parent)
You sign the waiver as the legal guardian.
Going forward: Your daughter visits with anyone
We Track Who's Who. Parent Signatures Override Friend Signatures. Always.
wakesys tracks the relationship between adults and children: Family Member vs Friend. When a parent signs after a friend has signed, the parent's signature automatically takes priority.
Unique constraint per guest per park
Each child can only have ONE active waiver at a time
Relationship tracking built-in
System knows if signer is family or friend
Full waiver history preserved
All previous waivers archived for audit trail
How It Works
Friend's parent signs waiver
Marked as "Friend" relationship
Actual parent signs waiver
Marked as "Family Member" relationship
Parent's waiver takes priority
Stays on file for all future visits
The Difference Is Everything
Built by park operators who lived the duplicate nightmare. We fixed it.
