Generate Customer Profits
Most property management software companies
talk about cutting expenses via "ease-of-use" or saving employee time. While
we believe cutting expenses is important, and our software can help in this area,
we would rather focus our efforts on generating significant additional income for
our customers. Some of the revenue generating tools that are part of RDP are:
-
Integrated Yield Management with detailed documentation on how to implement
it. Our average customer has increased revenue by over $200,000/year.
-
Internet Reservation Module - seamless integration to your Marketing
Website with RDP's booking engine or our Application Programmer Interface
(API) Allows guests, travel agents, groups, owners, and wholesalers to
make reservations 365 days a year, directly into the RDP system, without any
commissions.
-
Guest Itinerary
and Activities - Sell additional items, such as golf, bike rentals,
boats, and more.
-
Virtual Store on Internet - After the guest makes the reservation they
can purchase spa services, golf or other items.

booking fee, resort fee, gratuity and more
-
Packages can be used to increate revenue with rates that include
breakfast, honeymoon package and more
-
Guest Rewards
and Point Tracking - increase occupancy by offering more "points" in the
slow season and generate repeat sales
-

Greatly reduces phones calls to staff.
-
Travel Services, including
travel insurance and security deposit protection are fully integrated into
the system and can generate significant additional income.
- Our annual customer conference in Vail, Colorado, brings together hundreds of
companies similar to yours. While providing in-depth training, the focus
of the conference is to brainstorm with our customers to determine what else
we can do to help them make money. Most of RDP's best features have come
from customers.
RDP Adapts to the Customer
RDP believes software should adapt to the needs
of the individual customer instead of forcing the customer to adapt to the software.
While this seems like a self-evident truth, you may find that many of our competitors
believe otherwise and have a "take it or leave it attitude." (i.e., you either use
the software the way it is, or you don't use it at all).
Your business is very important to us. If this means we have to change
our software to make close the deal, then we will. More than half of our
1000 customers have a unique feature was added just for them. To avoid
confusion, we add these features with switches so that the feature is only
active for specific customers.
Our software is designed so you can configure
it to operate the way your business works. If you can't, we will change it
so you can.
Control Your System & Data
Analysis,
Export/Import and More
RDP provides an unprecedented level of system configuration control and presentation of your data. Our philosophy is to allow customers
to easily change reports, screens, confirmations, folios, statements, and more (without calling RDP).
- Over 400 system reports using
Crystal can be printed, emailed, or exported to Excel,
Adobe, and other formats.
- Reservation Analysis screens are available for reservation
detail, transactions, and more.
- Data is located on a file server under your control for
high
performance and security.

and
marketing materials can include your logo and pictures, and you can
easily change them at any time.

emails can easily be created for guests, owners, travel agents, groups,
and more with images, newsletters, etc.
- For Vacation Rental and Condo-Hotels, owners can
use the Internet to view owner statements, make reservations, enter work
orders, and much more.
Customers Stay in Direct Contact with Top Management
While RDP has been in business for more than 25 years, we have not allowed
the company to grow into a bureaucratic nightmare. We are still a small
company with direct contact between top management and customers.
We have become friends with our customers over
the years. Our annual customer conference in Vail, Colorado, has the feeling
of a family gathering: not a corporate function. This is a very important
element of who we are, as it is always much more fun to help a friend with a problem
than a customer.
My name is Barry Biegler, and I'm the president
and founder of Resort Data Processing, Inc. My direct, personal phone number
is 970-845-1157. I believe my #1 job is to
talk to customers and prospects to help answer questions.
With most companies, it is almost impossible
to find someone who is in charge and actually able to make a decision. There
are legions of people who screen calls and redirect customers. At RDP, everyone
answers their own phone. If you ever have a problem with my company or need
something, just give me a call.
Company
Stability - Over 25 Years & Solid Financial Position
If the company you purchase software from goes
out of business, the software becomes effectively worthless. This is because
the software is only 15% of the solution. The other 85% is technical support,
product updates, onsite training, etc. RDP has been in business over 25 years.
We are very solid financially, with no company debt. We have sold over 1,000
systems, which provides an installed base of support contracts to insure we will
be in business for many years to come.
Summary ~ Why Buy From RDP
When you purchase a
Property Management
System (PMS), we believe it is more important to look at the character of the
company who creates the software than the technical system details.
All of the major PMS vendors handle the basics:
reservations, check-in, check-out, audit, etc.
The key to a PMS purchase is to understand that the software is only the beginning
of a partnership between two companies. Many of our competitors believe
it's
all about the software. Nothing could be farther from the truth. It's
all about the people.
A software vendor can tell you anything in a brochure or in a demo; so please
check our story with our customers. Ask them if our support people
actually answer the phone immediately. Find out if our Yield Management
and Internet Reservation Module are making them money. Ask our customers
if the system is flexible enough for them and adapts to their needs.
RDP truly is a different company. We have been in business for over 25 years
with many of the same customers and employees. If you ever need anything from
RDP, help is just a phone call away.
