V12.NET Reservation Management System Takes Vacation Rental Industry by Storm


Software Browser Transforms Cyber-Booking

ORLANDO, Fla.--Instant Software, Inc., the leading provider of property management software for the vacation industry, announces the new V12.NET browser system is transforming the way the vacation rental industry books and manages property.

Within the first six hours of the V12.NET launch, 32 percent of attendees at RezFest 2006 placed orders totaling more than $1.4 million.

V12.NET provides multi-level protection and features not available from any other browser-based software used in the vacation rental industry. V12.NET is the only software providing clients a regular backup of their individual data. Unlike other products, V12.NET maintains a completely separate database for each client's information, relieving the dilemma faced by property management companies of confidential information commingling with data from competitive companies.

"The V12.NET innovative browser-based software is fully meeting Big Powderhorn Lodging Association's business needs in ways never before realized," said Gayle Colassaco, System Administrator, Big Powderhorn Lodging Association, Bessemer, Michigan.

Other V12.NET innovative features include bar coding of external documents; contact management for guest satisfaction; built-in marketing; guest recognition and record retrieval by credit card; and integrated Google maps displaying available units. Also, by using wireless internet devices, staff can enter work orders, inspect units and check guests in remotely.

"By looking at how clients use our software to book millions of reservations, Instant Software engineers and designers combined the best features of our three leading products. The Beta test program for V12.NET ran June through September with Instant Software selecting specific clients to ensure V12.NET was exposed to various ways of operating in multiple different markets with diverse activities. At its public launch, the feedback we received on V12.NET is that this is the reservation management solution vacation rental professionals have long been waiting for," explains Dave Hopcroft, CEO of Instant Software, Inc.

Approximately 60 percent of all property managers in the nation use an Instant Software product to run their rental management business. Instant Software is taking this responsibility seriously, initiating a 'No Penalty' move, providing transition from any of its products to V12.NET to upgrade clients with full credit of any amounts paid for the current software, eliminating the financial loss or penalty usually associated with migrating from one software to another.

RezFest is the annual technology and business trends meeting of companies using any of Instant Software's management solutions. This is the largest conference of its kind in the vacation rental industry, and was attended by more than 400 leaders in the vacation rental industry on September 27-29, 2006 in Aspen, CO.

Instant Software Inc., based outside Orlando, FL, is the nation's leading provider of vacation rental management software and related services. The Instant Software group includes V12.NET, First Resort Software, PropertyPlus, Entech Data Systems, Resort Manager, Stay-USA and Instant Software Communications. The company, which was the first Windows solution in the vacation rental industry and the first to bring real-time booking, serves more than 250,000 vacation rentals.
