 Edmonton, Alberta -
PARCS Software and Friend Communications Inc. have signed
a partnership to offer the outdoor camping industry integrated
software systems solutions. PARCS provides front office software
to over 350 campgrounds and parks. Friend specializes in Internet
technology, developing tools for online use, including real-time
on-line reservation capabilities.
"Our two systems compliment one another quite well,"
said Dan Hinchey, PARCS president and CEO. "By working
together we can leverage one another's skills to help simply
front office management. Customers will quickly realize the
benefits of the more seamless, operational system."
This partnership amounts to streamlined productivity for the
user. When an online booking takes place, the reservation
will automatically upload to the PARCS front-office software
and change the availability of the campsite to a reserved
status without the user having to do a thing.
"The partnership further integrates systems for the good
of the industry," said Gary Pace, president of Friend.
"If we as system providers can find common ground and
work together to provide seamless solutions, then we avoid
mistakes made by the hospitality industry and keep overall
costs, efficiencies and inventory management under control
and in the hands of our mutual clients."
"The outdoor travel industry is evolving like the hotel
industry. Together we will be more effective than we could
be on our own. We are very excited and optimistic for what
this means to our customers and the industry as a whole,"
Hinchey added.

most respected software products for management in the outdoor
hospitality industry. The core products focus on providing
