Partnership Delivers Integrated Conference Management and EPOS Solution for Education and Leisure Sectors

The market leading software and services providers for Conference and Accommodation Management and Cashless Payments have joined forces to provide the integrated solution for these complex and growing markets.

(PRWEB) November 20, 2005

For over 15 years Counter Solutions has been developing innovative solutions to industry issues. During the mid 90´s a new suite of back office stock management and electronic point of sale (EPoS) software applications opened up new markets within the Education and Leisure sector, where multiple sites required central control with multiple users requiring access to both sales and stock data. New technologies also allowed improved support levels with the capability of remote diagnostics.

Investments made in 1997 resulted in a new approach to cashless systems which soon caught the imagination of both hospitality operators and their financial controllers. Working closely with card manufacturers to ensure clients could select their smart card technologies freely from the developing market, the Counter Solutions offering is widely recognised as a true global option. This is proven by the 162 clients and more than 1000 sites now benefiting from Counter Solutions systems.

Kinetic Solutions started developing conference and residential software for the Educational and Hospitality sector in 1998 and has seen rapid growth with Kx software installed in over 155 sites, managing over 9,000 meeting rooms and 180,000 beds. Kinetic Solutions has a 100% record of achieving projected timescales and facilitates to enable customers to achieve real business objectives.

An integrate conference management and EPOS solution The cashless market experience and client references The people skills, the commitment & the resources The product range and systems functionality The card technology options & development capability The ability to support, maintain and upgrade the system throughout its operational lifecycle … 5 years +
