Campnab Celebrates Sending 3.5 Million Campsite Availability Alerts

Published

on

Eric Shelkie’s app, Campnab, finds cancelled campsite reservations. It has become a popular ‒secret– among campers, recently sending its 3.5 millionth campsite availability alert.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 31, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Campers Eric Shelkie and Eric Karjaluoto have made it possible to find openings at sold-out campgrounds with their app, Campnab. From a basement side project born out of necessity, Campnab has grown to send a whopping 3.5 million cancellation alerts for sold-out campgrounds.

Back in 2017, the app’s inception was a solution to a problem Eric Shelkie’s wife, Kim, had: sold-out campgrounds. To save her the time of manually checking for cancellations, the two Erics automated the campsite tracking process. It has since grown to monitor availability for 350,252 campsites (plus backcountry permits) across 14,877 campgrounds in 3,133 parks.

‒Our mission at Campnab is simple: we help people go camping,– says co-founder Eric Karjaluoto. ‒We didn’t start with a grand vision. We just wanted to solve a problem that many campers experience – finding an available campsite.–

Since its launch, the app has been enthusiastically received by the camping community. It generated significant attention and gained its first customer within hours of being shared on a local subreddit. Word-of-mouth recommendations propelled Campnab to success, with usage doubling each year. Over 30,000 campers have used the product to discover new campsite availabilities.

Now entering its seventh camping season, Campnab’s members credit the app with helping them make seemingly impossible camping trips possible. Campnab customer Nicole Iacovoni explains, ‒I was about to give up after weeks of unsuccessful booking attempts for a park in Florida. Discovering Campnab was a game-changer. Their alert system allowed me to book the park I wanted just a few days later.–

Customers have given Campnab a 5.0-star rating on Facebook and Google. Additional reviews from members can be found in the reviews section on Campnab’s website.

Despite the increase in demand, the app remains a close-knit product run entirely by its two co-founders. ‒This whole thing took us by surprise,– says co-founder Eric Shelkie. ‒I never thought our side project would get this big. It’s nice to know that our app has helped so many campers visit these beautiful parks.– Campnab is now working to expand its coverage to additional regions to service more campers.

Campnab is accessible via a web browser, eliminating the need to download a standalone app. Memberships start at $10 a month and can be canceled in the off-season. For more information about Campnab, or to create a scan for a campsite cancellation, visit https://campnab.com.

About Campnab:

Campnab is a campsite availability tracker that monitors sold-out parks in the U.S. and Canada for cancellations. Campers set up a scan noting when, where, and how long they want to camp. The app then notifies them when a suitable campsite or permit opens up—so they can make a reservation.

Many campsites sit unclaimed in ‒sold out– parks. Campnab spots these availabilities so more people can go camping.

GOFO Deploys Automated Narrow-Belt Sorter at Rome Hub, Lifting Southern Italy Capacity by 40%

Published

on

By

ROME, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GOFO, a fast-growing, technology-driven last-mile delivery provider, today announced that its Rome sorting center has officially entered full production with a new automated narrow-belt sorting system featuring integrated singulation technology. The system began trial operation in May 2026 and, following more than three months of stable performance, is now fully operational, lifting the hub’s overall efficiency by 40%.

The linear narrow-belt sorter’s integrated singulation technology automatically separates overlapping parcels before they enter the sort loop. Because the system relies on proven mechanical separation rather than AI-based vision recognition, it is designed to deliver consistent throughput day after day, with reliability confirmed during the trial period and now carried into full production ahead of the autumn peak season.

The system has a design capacity of 6,500 parcels per hour and 120 sorting chutes, providing routing coverage across southern Italy, including Bari, Catanzaro, Naples and surrounding areas. It integrates dimensioning and weighing in a single pass, with volume accuracy of ±10 mm and weighing accuracy of ±20 g. Around 80% of the sorting process is now automated, with manual handling limited to loading and exception processing.

“The Rome hub is our primary gateway to southern Italy, and this upgrade ensures we can meet the growing demand from our e-commerce partners without compromising on speed or accuracy,” said Jacqueline Chan, General Manager of GOFO Italy. “As we head into peak season, this investment gives us the reliability and sufficient processing capacity our customers need across the south.”

About GOFO

GOFO, founded in the United States in 2023, is a technology-driven last-mile logistics network serving merchants and consumers across the U.S., Canada, France, the Netherlands, Italy and Spain. Guided by the brand philosophy “Drive Efficiency, Deliver Trust,” GOFO combines advanced technology with localized operations to deliver precise, reliable, and scalable delivery solutions.
