Overview: RMS
Skip to RoverPass overviewRMS has been a well-known name in the hospitality space for the last 30 years. They offer robust management solutions for Hotel, Marina, and the RV & Camping industries, making them a reputable force when it comes to guest & owner relations. In this guide, we’ll focus on their solutions for RV & camping — which come with features you’ll probably use every day while running your park. Some of these features include tools for guest marketing, a boom gate system, a mobile check-in option, and more.
Let's take a closer look.
RV Park & Campground Software
Since RMS makes software for different sides of the hospitality industry, they know what kinds of features travelers value and how they can translate over to the RV & campground sides. On the same note, RMS does a great job of siloing specific features that benefit RVers and campers specifically. This combination makes their software up-to-date without bloating RV park & campground software with too many needless functions, as is the case with some Reservation Management tools out there (thankfully, that isn’t the case with
RoverPass software either). These features include but are not limited to:
Multi-Property Management
As the name implies, owners can manage multiple properties, ranging in sizes and amenities, from any device.
Guest Portal
Your guests can handle their own reservations, including making payments and communicating with your park, from a dashboard. RoverPass has similar features, including a
Camper Chat Box where travelers can communicate with you in
Real-Time.Channel Management
As mentioned, features like this which are already ubiquitous in the hotel space, connect your park to other online travel agencies and automatically updates your availability. RoverPass has a robust Channel Management feature as well.
Interactive Maps
Interactive Maps provide guests with a bird's-eye view of your park’s sites, making it easier for them to navigate and choose their preferred spot. This feature enhances the guest experience by allowing them to visualize their stay before arrival. RoverPass also offers interactive maps, enabling guests to explore campground layouts and amenities visually, ensuring a seamless and informed booking process.
Dynamic Pricing
This feature allows owners to adjust rates based on availability, season, etc. RoverPass offers the same features, in addition to
RP Optimized Site Assignment Logic, which automatically places guests in the optimal site in your park for the calendar dates of each new booking, helping you increase overall bookings by 20%!
Contactless Guest Experience
Guests can check-in and check out remotely.
Housekeeping
Keeps track of daily tasks that need to be done such as cleaning or maintenance, and even delegates them. Very cool feature.
Accounting
RMS allows you to manage properties with multiple owners by assigning a module to specific sites, offering flexibility in accounting and ownership management. This solid feature ensures that each owner can easily track and manage their respective sites. Similarly, RoverPass provides a QuickBooks integration, to efficiently handle financial management and site-specific transactions for properties with diverse ownership.
Overview: RoverPass
Founded in 2015, RoverPass is slightly younger than RMS. But don’t let age fool you — the RoverPass Campground Reservation Software (CRS) and industry-leading Marketplace Solutions are feature-rich, robust, easy-to-use, reach a wider range of travelers, and are specifically designed for better campground management — in every sense of the word.
