What it is
nextRec is cloud-based management software for parks and recreation organizations, government agencies, and private recreation facilities. It brings memberships, family and contact accounts, member documents, staff schedules, and communications into one system. Customers can find and register online for classes, courses, drop-ins, programs, and facility bookings. Its point-of-sale tools handle product, membership, event, and ticket sales, with inventory management and custom reporting. Marketing features include scheduled, targeted emails, campaign tracking, landing pages, and automated workflows. The maker lists integrations for payment providers, league management, lighting, GIS, access control, and directories, and says its RESTful API can connect with third-party systems. The cloud service requires no installation or hardware. The maker advertises 99.95% uptime, 24/7 network protection, and round-the-clock support. It says client databases are individually encrypted, transmissions use TLS 1.2 and HTTPS, and its camp software page states PCI-DSS Level-1 certification. Pricing is available on request.
