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.
Why go to cashless prepayment?
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.
