CRiS

Already being digital partners with the National Caravan Council (NCC), when their CRiS platform was in trouble, we were happy to step in. CRiS (Central Registration & Identification Scheme) acts as a national register for caravans and motorhomes, similar to the DVLA for cars. Since 1992, CRiS has helped protect thousands of leisure vehicles from theft by registering ownership and fitting each vehicle with VinChips and visible markers that support their recovery if stolen.

The CRiS platform had hit a barrier in the build and was struggling to be completed. NCC needed a modern, robust system that could handle new features and meet future demands while maintaining strong securities and with the platform accessed by police, manufacturers, and vehicle owners, it needed to be a quality platform.

We worked closely with the NCC team to understand their vision and the role CRiS plays in safeguarding leisure vehicles and understand the requirements to help get the platform (built on Laravel) over the line. Our goal was to take over the project, rebuild and grow the platform, and being Laravel Partners, it suited us no end. The new platform includes a bespoke administration panel for the CRiS team to manage operations efficiently, and we integrated Stripe for secure payment processing for a new feature to process VinChip purchases.

Launched in 2022, the revamped CRiS platform received positive feedback from stakeholders as it allowed the brand to grow. The new system has enabled the NCC to carry out tasks more effectively, ensuring the safety and security of leisure vehicles nationwide. The platform is now built on a solid foundation, ready to evolve and grow with new features over time.

Our work with CRiS highlights the importance of building secure, user-friendly platforms to protect valuable assets. We continue to partner with the NCC, supporting the CRiS platform with ongoing development and feature enhancements as it meets the future demands of the industry.
