A new bespoke booking system for Penguin Cruise Parking

Penguin Cruise Parking have operated cruise parking for Southampton Docks for more than 12 years and in 2022 parked more than 10,000 cars and served over 25,000 passengers, providing a personal and friendly service to each and every customer.  Just a couple of minutes from Southampton Cruise Terminals, they are the closest off-site car park to all the port’s cruise terminals. 

Helen, the owner of Penguin Cruise Parking contacted Angelfish because her current online booking provider had become unresponsive and she was forced to manage her business using a booking system that was slow and difficult to navigate. She had some very specific requirements such as integration with Secure Trading, SMS messaging and the ability to manually update booking records. As the project evolved she also commissioned Angelfish to redevelop her website, which meant that her booking system and website content management system could be managed from one easy-to-use backend portal.

New online booking and facilities management system for Tallington Lakes

Tallington Lakes is a leisure home park and outdoor activity centre on the Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Leicestershire county borders. Set close to 205 acres of spring water fed lake. Tallington Lakes offers a range of waterspouts including water skiing, wakeboarding, jet skiing, dinghy sailing, windsurfing and canoeing. You can even walk on the water in one of their water zorbs! There is also a dry ski slope, and a 15 metre climbing tower on the park.

Tallington Lakes approached us wanting to develop an online booking system for the all of the activities at the resort. They hadn't been able to find an off the shelf software system that could meet their needs because he had a number of core requirements that couldn't be met by one software provider. The resulting system allows the Tallington Lakes to manage activities, facilities and equipment hire at the centre including single and multiple session bookings.
