ACTIVE Network's outdoors division

Active Network's Outdoors Division, through Aspira Connect, provides comprehensive outdoor recreation management software to enhance operational efficiency for parks and campgrounds across North America. Aspira Connect, a provider of outdoor recreation software, was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Dallas, US. The company focuses on management solutions for state and provincial parks, wildlife agencies, and private campgrounds. In April 2021, Alpine Investors acquired Aspira from Vista Equity Partners, with the aim to accelerate organic growth across its business lines.

The current CEO is Mark Trivette, who has a history of leading technology companies. Aspira Connect is the leading provider of outdoor recreation software in North America, specializing in management solutions tailored to a diverse client base that includes state parks, provincial parks, state and provincial wildlife agencies, and private campgrounds. The company’s core offerings encompass a range of administrative and operational tools designed to enhance outdoor experiences and streamline management processes. These solutions include campground and lodging reservations, customizable websites, event registration and ticketing, and payment processing systems.

Additionally, Aspira Connect provides specialized services such as call-center solutions and hardware procurement, catering to both public and private sector clients. Its geographic reach spans across North America, serving clients in various states and provinces, underlining the company's commitment to promoting outdoor engagement and accessibility. Aspira Connect generates revenue through a structured model that includes direct transactions with its clients, primarily through subscription-based services and partnerships. The company facilitates millions of transactions annually, connecting outdoor enthusiasts with recreational opportunities across various platforms.

For instance, state parks may utilize Aspira's campground reservations system, which enables them to process bookings and manage customer interactions efficiently. Pricing structures for these services typically involve monthly or annual fees, tailored to the unique needs of each client, with options that encompass comprehensive management tools for both B2B and direct-to-consumer transactions. Following the acquisition by Alpine Investors in April 2021, Aspira Connect plans to use the capital gained for strategic acquisitions and to foster organic growth. The company is focused on expanding its product offerings, which may include new features tailored for enhancing user experiences in outdoor recreation management.

Aspira Connect is also targeting growth in new geographical regions, particularly in underrepresented areas of North America, to broaden its client base and improve outdoor access. This strategic direction aims to leverage recent funding to support these initiatives, underscoring the commitment to enhancing its service delivery across diverse markets.
