Success Story
Camping site De Lievelinge
Hi, I am Ruby and work at Campground the Lievelinge. For some familiar territory, for others a place yet to be discovered… Our beautiful site in the middle of the Lingebos has numerous locations and because creativity literally has no limit here, we fanatically organize and program a diverse program for everyone between 0-100 years.
Need for a location planning system
In addition, here you can give each other the special vows or get to know each other better as colleagues outside working hours; in a casual atmosphere. As a visitor, you imagine yourself among the extraordinary structures of our grounds, a place where the imagination speaks to anyone who is open to it.
Because we switch daily between different “streams” of in-house programming, as well as external retreats, weddings and corporate events such as a company party, team building or meeting, the need for a venue planning system arose. So doing, we started Smart Event Manager, to eliminate overlapping programs at the same venues the proverbial tie! Because in Smart Event Manager you can also enter the time required for set-up and take-down when booking a facility, this works very nicely. As a result, we are less in each other’s way internally, and by that I mean from different departments within our company.
The goal is to: move away from separately operating islets and the associated modus operandi, and more toward one type of modus operandi. That’s already happening a little more as everything comes together in Smart Event Manager’s Plan Board.
We have been working with Smart Event Manager for almost 3 months now and everyone is finding, little by little, their way. The biggest switch for us, is in the principle: let the system do the work for you. We are used to calculating amounts ourselves when creating quotes, and especially making everything add up ourselves, whereas Smart Event Manager can actually do it for you.
In addition, we were greatly helped by the standard reservation options. I think this is recognizable to many companies, that many reservations consist of the same basic structure. The program has the ability to create and load these standard reservations, which are more common, directly when creating a reservation in the scheduling board. This saves an enormous amount of time and, therefore, mistakes: the chances of forgetting something are reduced by using this feature. All in all, working with Smart Event Manager saves a lot of thinking and valuable time for us!
