Overview: ResNexus
Skip to RoverPass overviewResNexus has spent the last 16 years helping the travel sector bridge technological gaps and streamline the online booking process for travelers and owners. ResNexus’ relative long-time in the industry enables them to offer stability and security to their customers that smaller companies like Campspot may not.
For example, ResNexus’ pricing model is fixed instead of reservation-based. They claim that once you sign up, your price won’t change — though keep in mind that their platform is not cheap! ResNexus has a large customer support team & boasts PCI-level security that some smaller competitors don’t. Let’s learn more about their features

Additionally, ResNexus offers promotional sidebars that prominently display your latest deals and special offers, ensuring that guests are aware of everything your park has to offer. These tools help enhance guest engagement and improve their overall experience while driving additional revenue opportunities for your business.
However, RoverPass takes marketing automation further with Zapier integration, offering mass mailing and SMS solutions that seamlessly integrate with all available marketing tools. This integration enhances your relationship with customers, enabling personalized communication and targeted marketing strategies to boost engagement and satisfaction.
Custom Reporting & Analytics
