Predictive Supply‑Ordering Automation

Stop guessing what to buy and when—our automation forecasts demand from reservations, POS sales, and weather, then drafts vendor orders you can approve with one click.

Works with Campspot and other leading PMS/POS platforms. No rip‑and‑replace required.

Benefits at a Glance

Fewer stockouts

reorder before holiday surges and events.

Less waste

buy exactly what demand will consume.

Lower effort

draft POs arrive ready to approve and send.

Why manual ordering breaks at busy parks

Weekend spikes, weather swings, and group events make today’s camp store, café, and housekeeping supply needs hard to predict. Managers over‑buy to be safe—or under‑buy and disappoint guests. Both cost real money.

The Insider Perks approach

How the automation makes smarter buys

Step 1

Connect your data

We pull future occupancy and site types from your PMS (e.g., Campspot) and combine them with your POS sales history. If a POS isn’t available, we can start with simple spreadsheets and upgrade later. We handle API activation and coordination with Campspot for you.

Step 2

Forecast & set thresholds

A forecasting layer looks at seasonal patterns, day‑of‑week effects, package add‑ons (like firewood bundles), and weather signals (heat → ice & drinks; rain → indoor activities). It proposes reorder points (ROP), safety stock, and order quantities that balance stockout risk and carrying cost.

Step 3

Draft, approve, send

The system builds vendor‑specific purchase orders with MOQs and price breaks, then routes them to the right manager for approval. Upon approval, orders auto‑send by email, EDI, or portal, and confirmations are logged in your dashboard.

Integrates with platforms you already use

Connect via API or secure connectors to PMS and POS systems common in outdoor hospitality. We coordinate directly with Campspot and can interface with leading platforms such as Newbook, RMS Cloud, ResNexus, CampLife, Square, Clover, Lightspeed, and Toast. If an API isn’t available, we can automate email‑based ordering and CSV schedules as a bridge.

Signals that make the forecast accurate

Reservation load

Future occupancy by cabin/RV/tent, site type mix, length of stay, and packages.

Sales velocity

Item and category trends (e.g., firewood, ice, s’mores kits, pool supplies).

Weather & events

Temperature, precipitation, holidays, local festivals, and group rallies.

Lead time & MOQs

Vendor‑specific delivery days, minimums, price tiers, and freight impact.

The outcomes operators care about

  • Fewer empty shelves in the camp store and café.
  • Lower overstock on slow movers and perishables.
  • Cleaner balance sheet with right‑sized inventory.
  • Staff hours back from chasing quotes and counting cases.
