Sat, March 26, 2011- TrackResults arrived in Orlando today for the American Resort Developers Association ( ARDA) annual convention held every other spring in Florida. ( Odd years held in Florida, Even years in Las Vegas).

Drew Reynolds, Co-founder says””We are very excited to continue bringing more and more Sales Buisiness Intelligence to the Industry. We were the first to develop it, and so far, since 2006 , we still are the only ones who offer it as a sole focus”. We love being the best in our niche, We just have a passion for our analytics.
Once upon a time,  Developers used to see our name ” TrackResults software” , and incorrectly think ..oh, more resort timeshare software. Nowadays, 6 years later, its different , and Business Intelligence is almost synonymous with our name.
Todd says: “We were offering our SaaS application before people understood it. Now with the “Cloud” getting media attention, and validated by the giants like Google, Twitter, Facebook ,et al,  clients are embracing our technology. They are ALL cloud applications, Software as a Service.  We don’t sell ” software”, we sell service. The service is what counts.

December,2010–> TrackResults aquires Resort Promotions Inc. Assets

TrackResults Software this month concluded transfer of all assets from Resort Promotions Inc. This included all software code, hardware, licenses, contracts, client lists, prospects, proprietary rights and development rights, including the domain  http://www.promoteresorts.com
Both companies are based in Utah, and the principles have a relationship going back over 6 years, around the time both companies were building,and going commercial. (Back then, in the “old days”… TrackResults and PromoteResorts.com staff even shared ideas. )

Says Drew Reynolds: “Resort Promotions Inc is a good acquisition for us, since historically they focused thier marketing efforts towards tour generators, and TrackResults focused our marketing efforts towards the Sales centers executives.”

Over the next two weeks, RPI clients using the Promoteresorts.com domain will be redirected to their new servers on the Trackresults.net domain. TrackResults uses the newest Elastic Cloud and IP addressing features of Amazons Web services, providing a wider variety of scalable resources available, and clients should see an immediate performance improvement.
We can literally hydrate and deploy additional servers on demand,( instances) for any client in less than 5 Min’s flat if needed, and configure reserved instances for use, automatic doubling or tripling thier resources during heavy usage (peaktime) periods, and throttling back resources for the wee hours of the morning.
This is an invisible migration of servers, and has not interupted businesss operations at all.

This acquisition helps the vacation ownership industry as a whole by offering prospects a concentrated source for business intelligence and sales reporting. Having this broader client base, resources ( sales, advertising, licenses, etc) that once were duplicated between the companies are now combined for efficiency, reducing costs for customizations and technology development. In the long term,as we continue to deploy to lateral market clients, we can leverage both existing codes, taking the best of both worlds feature-wise.
TrackResults is currently maintaining a few of the previous RPI clients as limited version users on the older static reports ( “Marketers Version” ), while the majority of the other clients are upgrading to the “Full” TrackResults v5.0 dynamic reporting and decision support software currently licensed to the rest of our clients. We want to help them have better sales reporting and tracking.

November 2010 – VIDA VACATION CLUB in conjuntion with TrackResults software developed a custom “VLO module “. Business Intelligence on reducing cancellations, improving save percentages, and increasing overall customer satisfaction is now available exclusively by TrackResults software.
Vida Vacation Club, The new label with enhanced service for the Grupo Vidanta timeshare giant just completed rollout in its largest sales center in Mexico of TrackResults version 5.5.22.
Version 5.5.22 contains the VLO module, designed specifically for
1) higher sales retention 2) reducing rescission by profiling reasons deals try to unwind
and 3) identifying the best resources to put canceling sales back in the box.

TrackResults specialists trained, and brainstormed with everyone in Nuevo Vallarta to put the best processes in place according to their business rules.

Vida’s Member Services dept. is already speeding up and improving new member experience and service using the TrackResults VLO module. The impact of this module is having immediate positive effects. Specialists at Vida will soon be escalating high priority tickets to the best person capable of resolving the issue, due to TrackResults analytics and Business Intelligence reports.

VLO’s at Vida can now report on dozens of factors, which affect the kick rate, and improve retention of new sales. Testimonials from key personnel, at the International Sales conference held in October 2010 in Chicago stated the company is generating or saving ” literally millions and millions of dollars each year, using the TrackResults Business Intelligence platform”
From the Marketing depts. up thru the Sales depts., VLO depts., and eventually to the desk of the corporate Directors, everyone is on the same page, and making faster, smarter business decisions.

Says Chief Technology Officer, “You guys seem less like a software company, and more like expert consultants who truly understand our process, and use your software as a tool for intelligence…” Compliments don’t come better than that!
Thank you all for your patience (Especially Brett, Kevin, Priscilla and ALL the Vida VLO’s) and allowing us to build you a module nobody in the industry has ever done before! It was fun and challenging to meet the goals. We are proud to have you as clients.

The Vida Vacation club is owned by Grupo Vidanta, arguably the SECOND or THIRD LARGEST TIMESHARE Company in the world right now, based on sales volume. TrackResults Business Intelligence software completely encompasses the sales and marketing of Vida’s excellent resort inventory, including the Grand Mayan Resorts, Mayan Palace Resorts, Grand Luxxe Villas , Grand Bliss Resorts, and the Sea Garden Resorts.
PS … now stop reading websites, and get back to work! Pura Vida !
