US eDirect deploys industry-leading mapping in Florida and Ohio

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2021 — (PRNewswire) — US eDirect is pleased to announce that campers in two highly visited outdoors destinations can now enjoy an innovative way to select the ideal campsite. 

US eDirect deployed Esri's technology to deliver a smarter campground reservation process.

US eDirect, which delivers a comprehensive digital application focused on outdoor recreation reservation and financial management, leveraged Esri's ArcGIS software, which provides geospatial location services that serve countless industries, to innovate the reservation experience.  

US eDirect deployed Esri's technology to deliver a smarter campground reservation process, which virtually places the website visitor on the ground to better understand amenities and recreation opportunities through a more intuitive experience using powerful maps. 

US eDirect worked with its customers at state parks in Florida and Ohio to deploy this new interactive technology across all sites available in each state agency's campground system. 

The deployment time was significantly reduced by leveraging the state parks' authoritative spatial data and Esri ArcGIS. 

US eDirect President & CEO Tony Alex said the Esri integration portends future innovation aimed at enhancing the camping reservation experience. 

"We're honored to secure this unique opportunity to work alongside our customers in Ohio and Florida to bring this innovative mapping solution to life for the benefit of millions of campers annually," Alex said. "These are two of the premier park systems in the world, and Esri is the gold standard in mapping excellence so it's a powerful blend of great technologies and incredible human talent that gives the camper nuanced information to make a more informed campsite decision and provides our shared team the opportunity to innovate even further."

The highlights of this new application include:

"By integrating the customer's authoritative park asset data already in their GIS, US eDirect is able to provide customers with a shorter runway to deploy the reservation system, reducing duplicative efforts to map these reservation assets, and provide guests with a more intuitive way to browse available reservations," said Sunny Fleming, National Solutions Engineer – Environmental, State Government at Esri.  "This paves the way for greater insight and analysis."
