Maximise Capacity Utilization Using The Latest Scheduling Tools From NFS Hospitality
A venue is considered to be an extremely high cost facility to operate, making cost control, and effective utilization of both your space and resources a primary concern of those within the industry. NFS, the leading providers of venue and event management software have released new functionality to help venue facilities managers to deal with these challenges.
Their industry renowned Rendezvous software is a highly sophisticated venue booking and facilities management product, holding an inventory of everything from rooms, car parking, catering and other hospitality items critical to delivering meetings and events.
Peter Carter, from NFS Hospitality, the leading providers of venue software, said, “All of these facilities are of a high cost, and our innovative Rendezvous package, takes care of the availability and utilisation of all of the resources required for a particular event, in order to make it a huge success. Our Rendezvous package makes sure that your services are better managed and we also offer a range of modules which can be implemented to run alongside the facilities management modules, including our food and beverage module and our room layout module known as Room Viewer. By providing an integrated facilities management solution, venues gain better control of costs across all business areas.”
Room Viewer is part and parcel of the Rendezvous series, allowing space within a venue to be optimized effectively, allowing seating plans to be created, diagrams to help with the room layouts to be created and even information on where fire exits are located.
Most users at present are using Outlook as a primary desktop tool, but for larger facilities, NFS Hospitality have also introduced a ‘Self Service’ module, so that staff can go online 24 hours a day to check room availability and to make bookings if necessary, with full integration to Outlook.
Mr Carter added, “The Rendezvous suite of software is essential for venues that are seeking to have that edge on their competitors, and it will help to transform any venue into an organised business, aimed at exceeding customer expectation and operating efficiently as a facility with low cost, effective venue management and the facilities management tools in place to deliver good management information.”
