Reason to Use Topupmeters for
Caravan Parks
How caravan parks are using smart meters to recover energy costs
Seasonal caravan parks are choosing to replace ageing coin and card meters to cashless prepayment meters with Topupmeters. Park operators are realising the benefits of charging for energy to help minimise wastage while avoiding the hassel of handling cash or issuing tokens.
Holiday makers can have the lights on as soon as they arrive at the connection point. By visiting the Topup site and making a card payment which is instantly sent to the meter over the mobile phone network. Much the same as paying for parking.
Booking management integration
Topupmeters have a powerful API for integration with booking management platforms. This allows for remote control of energy meters on hook-up points from the convenience of an established cloud based or local booking management platform.
A call to activate the meter to allow for topups is made when checking in. Check out will turn the power off to curtail energy wastage by turning off all applicances and heating. Meters can be set to cleaning mode, free-vend, issuing credit, and enforcing a fair-usage policy to charge for excessive energy usage. Particuarly useful to minise wastage on heating or air-conditioning in hotter climates.
Secure & simple
Its not just about getting payment electronically straight to your bank. With secure online payments its easy to keep track of how much is being spent, by who, and when a payment has been made.
Card payments are handled securely by Stripe, a large payment processing company similar to Paypal. Money gets paid out every few days to a bank account.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
The ability to manage meters remotely from a web portal has been incredibly beneficial. Using smart meters has helped identify energy wastage and clamp down on fraudulent behaviour with old card meters
We were using historic card meters in many of our properties. Keeping a stock of £10 cards for issuing credit was causing a headache for us and our commercial and domestic tenants. Changing to Topupmeters means we can manage tenant’s energy from anywhere at anytime minimising operational costs and making our life a lot easier.
Before we had to maintain a manned office for taking cash payments for issuing card tokens. Now our residents can buy energy online 24/7 for instant credit top-ups. The convenience and ease of use is impressive and Dominic’s team have been a pleasure to work with.
With Topup prepay smart meters our customers only pay for the energy they use. Previously it was part of their rental agreement where the electricity was included in the rental agremeent but some customers were using considerably more than others who were only there for a few weeks of summer. Now we have a much fairer system thanks to Topupmeters
