The Story 

One of the key aspects of Landal is its focus on providing a high level of service to its guests. The company has a team of dedicated professionals who are committed to ensuring that each guest has a memorable holiday experience. This includes providing personalised services and ensuring that all the guests’ needs are met throughout their stay. To deliver and manage these services more efficiently Landal has chosen Maxxton software.

“After a thorough investigation with our IT team, we decided to take on Maxxton as our software partner because Maxxton was at least 2 years ahead of its time in comparison to other software systems”.
Axel Wiertz, Information Architect

Maxxton supports the various aspects of Landal’s operations, from booking and reservations to guest services and maintenance.

“After the acquisition of several holiday parks in the UK, we needed a multi-language and multi-currency solution and both requirements were available in Maxxton software”.
Christa Maring, Product Owner Landal GreenParks LAB

With Maxxton solutions, Landal is able to streamline its processes and ensure that all the data is stored in one place, up-to-date, and accurate.

Collaboration 

Landal’s complex IT system had limited options. Hence, it was necessary to look for an innovative, dynamic, and future-proof solution, with API-connectivity.

“I think that Maxxton is a well-designed, innovative, all-in-one solution, which is also flexible and straightforward in use. Moreover, Maxxton is an open and transparent organisation. Maxxton has a generic setup. So, I know there are always possibilities and I don’t run into impossibilities with Maxxton”.
Axel Wiertz, Information Architect

After intensive testing, Landal gradually started using Maxxton’s cloud-based software. Maxxton can handle various tasks, such as reservations, check-ins, check-outs, and inventory management with the reservation manager and the content manager.  These solutions enable Landal to keep all its bookings in one central place and to configure and maintain the inventory of its accommodations.

 “We use Maxxton because it enables us to keep the data in one place. Also, to control, manage and continue growing. With Maxxton, I know there are always possibilities”.
Axel Wiertz, Information Architect

Users can access real-time information, manage bookings effectively, and deliver exceptional guest experiences. By doing so, Maxxton also provides the users with ongoing support, training, and system updates to ensure smooth operations and address any emerging needs.

Scalability 

Landal takes measures to guarantee scalability, ensuring that they can handle increased demand, expand their operations, and accommodate a growing number of guests. By adopting Maxxton’s cloud-based solutions, Landal is able to expand the capacity and efficiency of their operations and ensure a scalable IT infrastructure. Take, for instance, Maxxton’s API connections. It enables Landal to offer a broader range of services through third-party partnerships: e.g. API allows Landal to access a wider customer base and increase bookings by integrating with online travel agencies (OTAs) or tour via operators.

“At Landal we are always looking for ways to automate our processes. One of the advantages of working with Maxxton software is the quick and easy configuration of newly acquired parks. Furthermore, the API connectivity has been significant when it comes to obtaining price and availability used by third parties for connecting the website and third-party interfaces”.
Christa Maring, Product Owner Landal GreenParks LAB

Also, by using Maxxton Software, Landal adjusts the workflow and structure of processes which ensures more efficient business operations. This way the partnership is characterised by continuous communication and collaboration.
