Introducing our new smart meter partners

 
Are you still manually reading your meters? We have smart meter partners who can do the heavy lifting for you and your marina or RV guests, with real-time meter reads that feed into your RMS database. With this technology, your guests can remotely switch their meters on and off, spending more time with their family and not in your office.

MARCH 2023
The Guest Portal has a new look & feel

This design refresh makes accessing the RMS Guest Portal smoother than ever by streamlining the login process and removing extra steps. 

What's new in the RMS Guest Portal:

  • Setting passwords & logging in with reservation details is no longer required
  • Guests will log in with their email or phone number & will receive a secure, one-time access code to verify their identity
  • Once logged in, the Guest Portal stays the same — the features your guests love will remain right at their fingertips

Learn more about the Guest Portal and this week's update on our Guest Portal page & in our Help Center articles.
