Try using a reservation and property management system that integrates with multiple systems in order to reduce the amount of systems you need to juggle. RMS has hundreds of integrations to help you streamline your operations, cut down on redundant technologies, and improve your guest experience to increase your bottom line.

Campground Report Card

Whether your campground had a surge of seasonal success or an unexpected lull, you can count on one thing—there’s always a reason! The best way to figure out what happened is to put your park under the microscope, learn from what went right and what went wrong, and prepare for next season.

5 Pointers To Help Bolster Your Campground's Online Reputation

Online reviews can make or break you. Think about that for a moment, because it’s important that you grasp the significance of that fact. You can have a great website for your campground and a bounty of advertisements running during season—but if visitors are posting negative online feedback, your campsite bookings are going to take a hit. That’s the reality. And this is what you need to do about it—pay attention, respond to every review (both positive and negative), address any problems head-on, and ultimately, take control of your online reputation. Here are some crucial pointers that can help.

Hospitality businesses like yours are about one thing— keeping your guests happy in every regard.

Partners & Integrations

RMS Cloud partners with OTA Insight to enhance properties’ business performance

RMS Cloud has announced a partnership with OTA Insight, the cloud-based data intelligence platform for the hospitality industry. Integrating RMS Cloud’s PMS with OTA Insight’s leading business intelligence solution, Revenue Insight, will give hospitality operators access to practical insights via a user-friendly dashboard to help them make data-driven business decisions. This eliminates the need to compile data and analyse it manually, instead offering a streamlined solution to help improve their performance and pricing strategy. “The integration with OTA Insight has come at an opportune moment, as many properties are struggling to make sense of their data to make smart revenue and business decisions, following the impact of COVID,” says Peter Ferris, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at RMS Cloud. “Being able to seamlessly compare revenue data from their PMS platform against market intelligence provided by OTA Insight's Revenue Insight tool will remove the barrier many managers face when having to identify and analyse data manually. Combined with the revenue-generating tools in RMS Cloud, properties will have a much stronger, smarter and streamlined solution for generating the best possible price points.” “Revenue Insight is proving to be the ideal business intelligence tool for integration with the industry’s leading PMS suppliers, therefore it’s brilliant to be partnering with RMS Cloud, an innovator in hotel tech, with a significant footprint across Australia, New Zealand and Asia-Pacific,” says Sean Fitzpatrick, CEO at OTA Insight. “Having recently been awarded number one business intelligence software by HotelTechReport for 2021, we’re confident that joint customers of Revenue Insight and RMS Cloud will be receiving the very best business and revenue insights.” With historical data becoming more and more redundant for effective revenue management forecasting, this integration will greatly benefit operators in better predicting demand and identifying market trends. Enhanced intelligence with RMS’ 360° reporting tool, will enable operators to expand and collapse report summaries to view granular data, further streamlining the process.

RMS integrates with OpenKey to further enhance contactless check-ins

We’ve teamed up with OpenKey, the leading provider of digital key solutions, to allow our clients to implement a fully contactless check-in strategy. In conjunction with the guest portal, clients will now have the ability to add automated mobile keys to their digital check-in process when they connect to OpenKey through RMS' module market. "We’re dedicated to streamlining the check-in process to provide a more pleasant and efficient experience for hotel guests,” says Peter Ferris, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at RMS. “We're excited to partner with OpenKey toward that end." With the OpenKey and RMS integration, properties simply need to locate the guest’s mobile number under their reservation and they can then send an encrypted digital key to their smartphone. "At OpenKey, our goal is to help hotels deliver a seamless guest experience while unburdening hotel staff via state-of-the-art technology," says Jacob Liggett, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at OpenKey. "We are thrilled to integrate with a leading reservation and property management technology company like RMS to bring elevated convenience to guests and hotel staff alike." As well as providing a contactless guest experience, this process also creates a faster, more efficient check-in, eliminating wait times and creating a smooth guest transition as they can instantly head to their room on arrival. On top of that, RMS and OpenKey work in tandem within the PMS system, meaning there is no need to switch between platforms, making it a smarter workflow for staff. To find out more about OpenKey, you can check out their website which includes a video of how the digital key works.

4 Habits of Highly Effective Outdoor Properties

Operational excellence is a mindset that all outdoor properties strive for — but it can be easier said than done. You may even find yourself wondering what will make your campground or RV park become increasingly successful. 

Communication and Marketing Tools To Aid Recovery

As travel returns and hospitality businesses ramp up for the summer season, RV park and campground owners and operators need a software solution that supports their recovery by enabling effective marketing communications with guests. Look for a park management system (PMS) with the following tools to help you communicate re-opening dates, COVID-19 precautions, protocols and policy updates, and upcoming promotions at your property.

How can I advance my property’s sustainability efforts right now?

“Sustainability is still a big priority for my hotel’s leadership team and our guests, but the current environment has made it nearly impossible to make additional investments in this area. What are some ways that I can use the technology we already have to make our operations more sustainable?” Sustainability has become a key goal for numerous hospitality brands and independent properties as companies become more invested in corporate social responsibility. Implementing an effective sustainability strategy gives hotels a competitive advantage in attracting guests as well as attracting and retaining top talent, as travelers and employees look for green, ethical, moral, and inclusive businesses that align with their personal values and goals. While physical methods for increasing sustainability might be more obvious—from installing low-flow showerheads and motion sensor LED lights to furnishing rooms with eco-friendly materials—there are many ways for hotels to take advantage of technology to support sustainability goals. Here are some low-cost, quick-to-implement solutions using a property management system (PMS) that can help hotels accelerate incremental change towards sustainability. 1. Go paperless Eliminate the need for paper in day-to-day operations by implementing digital registration, billing, and communications with guests. 2. Green housekeeping Offer a green rate to guests that is tied to housekeeping. If guests choose this option for their stay, housekeeping is notified to conserve resources such as not changing sheets and towels every day, not putting out small plastic toiletries and not stocking plastic water bottles in the room. 3. Give back Set up an optional carbon-neutral fee that guests can choose to add to their reservation, and donate all money collected to environmental causes. 4. Reduce plastic use Many property management systems integrate with keyless entry software that lets guests use a mobile device to access their room and other hotel facilities in place of plastic key cards. 5. Choose sustainable partners Ensure supply chain and tech stack partners are committed to sustainability. Check to see if your cloud-based PMS is hosted in an energy-efficient environment and if your PMS can interface with an energy management system (EMS).

Custom Marina Experiences for the New Boating Generation

Creating Experiences. Thanks to a new generation of boating enthusiasts, those two words should be imprinted in your mind as the strategy of 2018. At the core, marinas are essentially the same as they were 30 years ago—and by and large, they still accomplish the basics. But with the surge of millennials quickly becoming a major force in the marketplace—as boat owners, boat-share members and watersport lovers—it may be time to consider upgrades that meet their lifestyle and lead to the experiences they crave. Remember, this is the demographic borne greatly from the baby boomer generation, and a lot of them caught the boating bug from their parents. So, the water love is the same—but the difference lies in attitudes. While the majority of boomers looked at boats as trophies (aka: overflowing with bells & whistles), millennials tend to value minimalism—they want a functional, well-performing boat that will get them out on the water, and deliver an amazing experience (i.e. wake boarding, surfing, water skiing).

Sustainability

How to Bring Your Marina Into The Sustainable Age

Environmentalism is on the rise across the globe, and it’s inspiring to see. Both individuals and businesses are finding their way toward greener and more ethical practices, and that definitely includes marinas. Since marinas are right up at the water’s edge, the potential for pollutants entering the water is always high—fuel splatter, boat cleaning products, sewage, trash, and other boating byproducts are often carried into the basin waters by rain or even when maintenance hoses down the docks. It’s a very real problem, but more and more responsible marina owners are taking steps to prevent these contaminants from reaching the water, and in turn, making their facility friendlier to the environment. Adding other energy- and water-efficient features and incorporating savvier environmental facets to your marina will cement your commitment even further. Remember, the new generation of boaters (especially millennials and GenZ) tend to be more environmentally conscious than ever—and showing your green side may be just what you need to capture their attention.

Campground & Holiday Park

Using Your PMS to Maximize Revenue

Now is the time for campground owners to ensure their park management system (PMS) has the features and functionality they need to achieve their business goals as travel recovers. With properties closed or operating at a minimum for the past few months, revenue streams for most parks and campgrounds are slower than usual. As travel begins to pick up and properties start getting more traffic, it is important to focus on using your PMS to its full potential in order to maximize revenue.

4 Ways to Make Your Business the Face of Giving this Season

Instead, we’re referring to holiday-centric charity efforts that engage your team, your guests, and even area residents. It’s the perfect way to jolly up your place, help the community and boost your public image.

RMS Unveils New and Improved Internet Booking Engine

SAN DIEGO (November 19, 2020) - RMS North America, a provider of fully integrated, cloud-based reservation and property management systems to 6,000 properties in the hospitality industry, unveiled its updated internet booking engine (IBE) to address the needs of modern travelers and help property owners increase their direct bookings. RMS’ IBE enables properties to accept direct online bookings from any device in real time and integrates with all other RMS distribution and property management features. Based on guest and customer feedback, the new booking engine combines enhanced functionality with design improvements to deliver a better user experience and increase conversion. “Our new booking engine is native to the RMS system and is a key piece of functionality for clients to drive direct bookings,” said Matthew Galbraith, Director of Operations for RMS North America. “This update gives operators the ability to sell at the category or room level, and offer curated upsells with images throughout the reservation experience to increase revenue per booking.” In the new RMS booking engine, guests will see a clean layout with a snapshot display screen showing relevant content, a shopping cart style booking process, the ability to view cancellation policies, and a handy map link for travel directions - all guest-centric improvements to create a better booking experience. For property managers, an additional perk is the ability to make it a seamless extension of their current website. They can add logos and customize colors to match their brand, and enterprise users can tailor the booking engine to each individual property in their portfolio. “As an important revenue driver for properties, RMS will continue to enhance the booking engine based on customer feedback,” Galbraith continued. “Our goal is always to help our customers operate efficiently and profitably, while enhancing the guest experience.”

5 Pointers To Help Bolster Your Marina's Online Reputation

Online reviews can make or break you. Think about that for a moment, because it’s important that you grasp the significance of that fact. Your marina can have an amazing website, a great article in a boating publication, and advertisements running every week—but if your online customer feedback is negative, your business is going to take a hit. That’s the reality. And this is what you need to do about it—pay attention, respond to every review (both positive and negative), address any problems head-on, and ultimately, take control of your online reputation. Here are some crucial pointers that can help. 1. Register Your Marina on Review Sites or Claim Existing Page You can’t receive glowing reviews when guests can’t easily find your business on common review sites. So, here is your first step: Gain Visibility. Concentrate on influential social sites like Google, Yelp, Trip Advisor, andMarinas.com. If your marina isn’t listed yet, add it. We’ve even made it easy for you—just click each link above, and it will take you to that site’s business page. If you ARE listed but you haven’t claimed the listing yet, do it asap. Once you “own” the page, you can respond to reviews, add photos, provide details and control what your potential guests will see.

3 Helpful Reports Your PMS Should Offer to Save You Money

The more you know about your business, the easier it is to make informed decisions. If you've been working with pen and paper for years, you know how time-consuming it can be to calculate earnings, make projections, or do tax preparation.  Thankfully, one of the best qualities of a revenue management system is the reporting module. Within this high-powered system, you should have access to reports that can be created automatically, at customized intervals, or on demand. When integrated directly into your accounting software, reports can provide you detailed perspective on what's working for you (or not). The less time you have to spend with a calculator, the more time and money you have to spend on running your business. Some of the most helpful reports your PMS should provide are Daily Reports, Weekly or Monthly Financial Reports and Custom Reports. Find out how to these reports can help save you money: Daily Reports Your system will automatically generate reports such as each day’s scheduled arrivals and departures, any balances on accounts, or alerts and reminders from your calendar such as bills due, equipment maintenance, or personal appointments.  Weekly or Monthly Financial Reports These reports have a slightly “taller” view of the business such as ongoing taxes owed, revenue received, or occupancy reports and trends. Your PMS should allow you to set the frequency that these reports are generated to help keep you and your professional team on track.  Custom Reports Every business is different, so each will have unique needs for reports. Your reservation software solution (and their supportive customer service) should allow you to set up a report that you want just once, and then automatically generate that report based on the frequency you need it. It can even be sent to you or your team members automatically.
