Picking the perfect Property Management System (PMS) provider is absolutely vital if you want your RV park to thrive.
I mean, there are so many options out there, right? That’s why it’s super important to do your homework and ask all the right questions before you make a decision. We’ve got you covered in this blog post though! We’re gonna lay out five key questions you should totally ask your PMS provider. These questions will help you make sure you’re making the absolute best choice for your business. So, let’s jump right in, shall we?
“Can you reach the support team by phone or only by submitting a ticket?”
Picture this: It’s the holiday season, and your RV park is bustling with excited guests. Bookings are pouring in faster than Santa’s sleigh on Christmas Eve. You’re juggling reservations, managing activities, and ensuring everything runs smoothly. But then something doesn’t go quite right and you desperately need some support from your PMS.
Luckily, at Newbook, we understand the chaos that can ensue during peak times, which is why we offer on-call support from our Australia and US offices. You can reach us by phone with an average hold time of just 10 seconds. We also utilize TeamViewer to provide real-time screen sharing and guidance.
“Does your PMS have a built-in channel manager to automate connections to 3rd party channels?”
Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia… By teaming up with these types of OTAs, you’ll tap into their vast pool of eager travelers, exposing your RV park to a whole new audience. For example, in March 2023, Booking.com was the most visited travel and tourism website worldwide.
With Newbook, you can take commission-free reservations through your own website and seamlessly synchronize your rates and availability with most OTAs. Our powerful channel manager simplifies the process, saving you time and ensuring your inventory is always up to date.
“Will your PMS help grow my business after the initial training and setup?”
We get it. Growing pains are real, especially when your RV park outgrows the capabilities of your current PMS. That’s why choosing the right PMS provider is crucial for your long-term success.
When you partner with Newbook, we become invested in your success. Our dedicated account managers provide personalized one-on-one productivity meetings to help you optimize your operations and tailor our system to your unique needs.
“Does your PMS allow you to manage your activities, equipment hire, and booking add-ons?”
