IT for leisure and hospitality
Holiday parks, camping sites and hospitality businesses are a niche in which we have built up real experience. The demands are different from an office: the busiest weeks of the year are exactly the weeks in which nothing may go wrong, and your users are guests rather than employees.
Guest wifi across a whole site
Covering a camping site or holiday park with wireless internet is a different job from covering an office. Trees, caravans, distance and weather all work against you, and in the high season several hundred devices ask for a connection at once. We measure the site, place equipment made for outdoor use and size the connection for the peak rather than the average.
Just as important: guests and your own business systems must never share a network. A guest should be able to reach the internet and nothing else. We separate that strictly, so that a guest device with a virus cannot touch your reception.
Booking and reception
The booking system is the till of a park. During changeover days it carries the whole operation. We make sure reception keeps working and that there is a fallback when the connection to the outside world fails.
Seasonal staff
In the season you take on people for a few months. They need access, and they need to lose it again. We arrange accounts that expire on their own, so that nobody has to remember it in October.
The season decides the planning
Work on a park is done outside the season. We plan replacements and changes for the quiet months, so that nothing is touched in the weeks when everything has to work.
The services that matter most in this sector
What companies in this sector ask us
Can you cover an entire camping site with wifi?
Yes. We survey the site, decide where equipment has to go and take account of trees, caravans and distance. Coverage on paper is not the same as coverage in August, so we test under load.
What if the internet fails during the high season?
That is why we look at the connection first. Depending on the site we arrange a second route, so reception and payment keep working even when the main line is down.
Can seasonal staff be given access quickly?
Yes, and just as importantly they lose it again automatically. We set accounts up with an end date, so access does not quietly stay open after the season.
Curious what we could do for you?
The first consult is free and without obligation. We map out your IT and tell you honestly what you do and do not need.
