Understanding the fundamental difference

At Camping.care, we strive for a seamless experience with our software. To support you effectively, we make a clear distinction between Apoyo (included in your license) and Consultancy (tailored expert advice).

Focus	“How does this button work?”	“How do I optimize my business process?”
Trigger	Incidents, bugs, or quick “how-to” questions.	Growth, optimization, and strategic setup.
Goal	Keeping the software running as intended.	Making the software work specifically for you.
Costs	Included in your license fee.	Based on hourly rates (Enterprise) or pre-paid packages for basic and premium.

1. What is Support?

Support is our reactive service. It falls under the standard maintenance obligations of our SaaS agreement.

• When to use it? If something isn’t working, if you see an error message, or if you have a quick question about an existing feature.

• The Goal: To restore standard functionality so you can get back to work.

• Ejemplo: “I can’t login,” or “The export does not work” or “How can i setup my prices

2. What is Consultancy?

Consultancy is our proactive and advisory service. This goes beyond technicalities and touches upon your business operations and strategy.

• When to use it? When you need help setting up complex accounting integrations, implementing dynamic pricing strategies (yield management), training new staff members on-site or communication with hardware suppliers to solve a problem for the customer. 

• The Goal: To maximize your return on investment (ROI) and make your campsite operations more efficient through our industry expertise.

• Ejemplo: “Where do I find this setting in Booking.com?” or “The gate does not open, can you investigate what goes wrong?”
