We measure, so you can decide
RecraPlan builds measuring systems for the recreation sector. Not a technology supplier that also does parks, but a club that does nothing else.
One market, and we know it
Most suppliers do offices, factories, and happen to also do parks. We only do the latter, and that changes what we build.
We build for seasons
A park is full in July and empty in January. Meters, rates, and notifications are designed for that, not for an office that does the same thing every week.
We build for existing cabinets
Our meters fit into what is already there. A supplier from the industry starts with a renovation.
We build for the guest
Paying per spot, notifications for low balance, purchasing extras at eleven o'clock in the evening. That is not included in any general energy package.
RecraPlan in short
What we do, and what we don't
RecraPlan builds measuring systems for recreation businesses: meters, the network around it, and a dashboard, plus the people who install it and explain it.
We do not provide installation advice on heat pumps and we do not sell solar panels. What we do is ensure that you start such a conversation with numbers instead of an assumption.
Every company is at a different stage. Some have been measuring for years, while others have one meter by the road. Both start at the same point: looking at what is there.
What makes us different
We focus on one sector, and we measure everything related to it.
Only recreation
Most suppliers do offices, factories, and happen to also do parks. We only do the latter, and that changes what we build.
Measuring, not advising
We do not sell solar panels or heat pumps. What we provide is the data point that starts the conversation.
Everything on one network
Electricity, gas, water, heating, temperature, air quality, and waste. One login and one invoice instead of four suppliers.
Start with one field
You do not need to measure the entire area at once. One field or one building is enough to see what it does.
Based on what is already in place
The meters click onto the DIN-rail in your existing cabinet and the sensors connect to the meters that are already there. No digging required.
Demonstrable
What you save or adjust is reflected in the numbers. That is what a guest, a bank, or a certification body requires from you.
Wouter has been programming since he was fifteen. He taught himself because just playing a game on the computer wasn't challenging enough. “The thrill of creating something that actually works,” that’s what Wouter does it for. Besides programming, Wouter has an adventurous nature. Traveling to distant places is an important part of his life. His passion for travel is reflected in his career, studying at BUAS in Breda leads him to recreational work, and he moves up to park manager of a holiday park in France and later in the Netherlands.
Convenience as a park manager
In his role as park manager, Wouter is always looking for ways to make things easier. ICT helps with that. RecraPlan started during the corona period when a maximum number of visitors was allowed in various facilities. If you don’t have to keep track of that but have an app where guests can make reservations themselves, it saves time. “If you save time on basic tasks, it allows you to focus on important things, like thinking about a sustainable future.
Boiler malfunction
This sustainable future is also where Wouter has further developed with RecraPlan. A boiler that regularly malfunctions, resulting in complaints from guests, led to the next step in the development of RecraPlan. “What if you know earlier that the temperature of the boiler is dropping, can that prevent complaints?” Wouter wondered. The answer turned out to be yes, and the wireless sensor network was born. The step to legionella management was small.
Energy transition
The contribution Wouter made to a project about the energy transition in the municipality where Wouter's park is located allows him to take the step towards energy management. There is little supply in this area for parks, and it often requires high investment costs due to adjustments to electrical cabinets or the installation of gas sub-meters. As a result, there is actually very little known about where energy consumption precisely lies in the parks. Much is based on assumptions, and comparison is a significant issue in the industry.
Come by, or let us come to you
Half an hour is enough to see if we are a good fit and if measuring brings you something.
