Caravan Park Software

Caravan park software has to have a special set of features that are specific to caravan parks around the world, especially in Europe and Australia.

Caravan parks or holiday parks as they are also known in Australia accommodate caravans and trailers, which are much smaller than their north American counterparts.

The Caravan Park software nonetheless, has to cater for some very specific requirements.

Caravan parks can use a mix of touring and tenting sites as well as “hard standing” (concrete or tarmac pads).

Length sensitivity often comes into play because of the variable size of tents, trailers and caravans.

With the prevalence of awnings on Vehicles and extra wide tents now available, width is also becoming more of an issue. Whatever Caravan park software a park owner uses needs to cater to these needs.

Utility meters such as electricity and water also come into play. They are often governed by law on the tariffs that can be charged to the client. These must be configurable within the caravan park software.

The flexibility to commission and decommission unit types is also of paramount importance. When bad weather strikes, non-hard-standing sites can become waterlogged and un-useable and have to be decommissioned easily and any occupants moved to a more suitable site efficiently in the software.

The variable width and length of tents also means that the number which can be accommodated can vary significantly based on how many small or large tents arrive on any given day. This is often referred to as overflow capacity, which essentially lets you overbook on the official unit count you have on any given day.

As you can see, the complexity of managing this business vertical can be a challenge to any software company. ROS2006 is the most popular caravan park software reservation system in the world.
