The genesis of Recras
In 2003 Harrie Kerssies and Marthijn Wolting founded 'Taribush', a recreation company in the province of Drenthe aimed at organizing all kinds of family and company outings. During the first years of Taribush, both owners were still busy with their own full-time jobs and that made it extremely difficult to get the administration in order each time. There was a need for a system that could keep track of when an accommodation was rented and to whom.
In 2006 they met Tijmen Klein. He had founded his own programming company "Klein Informatica" in the previous years and decided to take up the challenge to help Harrie and Marthijn get rid of their administrative hassle with both hands. In the following years, the men from Taribush passed on their wishes for the administration system and Tijmen incorporated them into a first web-based version.
When in 2010 another recreation entrepreneur happened to see what kind of system Taribush was using to keep track of all reservations, he roared, "I want that too!". Harrie, Marthijn and Tijmen then put their heads together and launched Recras: an administration and reservation system for the recreation industry, developed by a unique combination of recreation entrepreneurs and programmers.
