NFS Highlight The Value Of An Integrated Venue Management Solution With Rendezvous
In an increasingly difficult market, large venues are finding that the consumer is striving for the best possible deal and making their bookings much later, in an attempt to get venue hire at a snippet of the price. Now NFS Hospitality, the leaders in venue management software are offering an integrated package capable of dealing with every eventuality.
Their browser technology Rendezvous venue and event management software, is an integrated system able to deal with all aspects of managing a venue, making use of enquiry handling, an extensive client database, booking and billing modules and even offering the user with extensive diaries to make the selling process easier.
Offering venues with the option to purchase their Rendezvous software on a hosted basis, means that the advanced browser-based meeting room, conference and catering management solution from NFS Hospitality, offers a package ideal for the smaller venue that works to avoid hardware costs; particularly useful during the current economic downturn.
The Kingsholm Business Conference and Banqueting facility, one of the most important conference venues in the Cotswolds and southwest, installed the Rendezvous meeting management software on a hosted basis, to manage its extensive facilities, in August 2008 with fantastic results.
Patrick Morris, Conference Sales Manager, at Kingsholm, said, “Rendezvous is working very well for us and we are enjoying using it.”
“Simple things like being able to use standard templates for many administrative tasks speeds up the process. We can now easily trace customer details we have dealt with before and have the full knowledge of what we have provided in the past. This helps us generate more repeat business. We also find the facility in Rendezvous for copy and repeat bookings fast and effective.”
Adopted by Trafalgar Events from the launch of their business in October 2008, Rendezvous has also proved to be the final piece in the business puzzle, for this leading London-based events firm.
Claire Arouche, Event Manager at Trafalgar, had used Rendezvous at her previous role at Regents College and for her having a reliable and easy to use system like Rendezvous was essential. An integrated booking and billing system makes it easier for a small venue to handle all aspects of dealing with clients much more efficiently.
Peter Carter from the firm who specialise in hospitality software, said, “Rendezvous being a browser based solution is now a tool that is affordable for a smaller venue like Trafalgar Events. Our hosted option, Rendezvous.Net, available to clients on a low cost monthly rental, starting at £ 100 a month, will give smaller venues the same technology platform as larger venues have today, without the need to spend thousands of pounds on servers and software.”
“With our hosted option, you do not need to have any in-house IT skills and we look after all aspects of the solution from having high web based reliability to backup and upgrades. This is the competitive edge small venues now need to compete in a very tough market, which makes Rendezvous our conference and banqueting software so unique.”
