Campground Manager® Add-ons FAQ

The Point-of-Sale module (POS) is an optional add-on feature to Campground Manager that helps track your camp store sales and manage store inventory. The module is completely integrated with Campground Manager so all sales activities are accounted for within one system. With the POS module installed you may check in customers and ring out store sales from any workstation. At the end of the day, revenues reports and cash balancing is all performed within one system.

Not necessarily. The POS module is an add-on module and the licenses you’ve purchased to run Campground Manager will also work with POS. If you require additional workstations beyond the number you currently have with Campground Manager then you may be required to buy more licenses.

POS will run under the same operating systems and computer hardware that is recommended for Campground Manager. However, you may want to consider some time saving accessories to help speed up your POS processing. A UPC scanner is highly recommended. This will enable your clerks to quickly and accurately scan a store item to register a sale. A cash drawer is another handy accessory along with a 3.5 inch receipt printer. This will help manage your till and save on printing large paper invoices. For a full list of POS options view the POS Hardware section.

Most stores have between 1500 and 3000 items. With 2 people it take about 1 to 2 days to scan in and setup the entire inventory in the store. Once complete you are ready to start selling!

Yes! POS is completely integrated with CM. The clerk’s daily cash totals will include all sales made through the POS and store sales and taxes will be displayed along with the camping revenues. Accounting journal entries will be prepared for export into your GL just like it does with Campground Manager.

For SaaS customers the POS module cost is built into the monthly charge. For a locally hosted system there is a one-time fee to turn the module on.

You may add as many parks as you wish to the module. Each parks database is self-contained. The CRM helps to quickly switch between parks and consolidate financial information into comparable single reports.

Yes, CRM is ideally suited for a call center environment. The call center is accessing the same data that the individual parks are using in real-time. Accounting and cash control can be compartmentalized to work at both the call center and the park keeping them separate and individually accountable while maintaining full data integration.

Most of the critical reports like sales, revenues and occupancy reports that can be found In Campground Manager are available on an enterprise level through the CRM. Reports can be set to run in batches at a specific time. Management reports and other maintenance functions can be scheduled to run overnight providing management with the prior days results first thing in the morning. Reports can be emailed or saves as a spreadsheet for enabling further analysis.
