[January 06, 2005] PCC Launches Management Software for Condo Hotels Tweet SALT LAKE CITY --(Business Wire)-- Jan. 6, 2005 -- PCC, the leading developer of resort management software, formally launched CondotelWare today. The new software specifically for condo hotels will be unveiled at the Americas Lodging Investment Summit, Jan. 18 - 20, in Los Angeles. CondotelWare is the first full-service system to manage the complexities of multiple ownership for condominium hotels. The Web-interfacing software is compatible with existing hotel reservation and management systems. It helps owners and developers master all aspects of running a condo hotel including owner accounting, reservations, rental programs, inventory, and owner services. CondotelWare was installed in December at the Mayfair House Hotel, a 179-suite, AAA Four-Diamond resort in Miami, Fla. During the next several months, more properties including Printers Row Hotel, Chicago, will join the growing list of CondotelWare users. "Our goal is to become the leading software in this booming market," said Timo Jones, president and chairman of the board, PCC. "We have more than a decade of experience designing management software for the timeshare industry. During the past year, we put that expertise to use, developing software for condo hotels. The response throughout the industry has been phenomenal." The new software is designed to improve condo hotel operations and profitability, with applications in owner accounting, property management, rental rotation, and owner relations. The accounting suite of software helps property owners and operators master everything from fee allocations and revenue tracking to tax reporting and statements. The property management software handles the complex demands of running a condo hotel including rental rotation, owner reservations and inventory management. In addition, Owner Concierge tracks owner preferences, enabling staffs to provide more personalized service. CondotelWare can be customized to meet the needs of a specific property. The turnkey system interfaces seamlessly with other resort reservation and management software. It is designed for quick installation in a day and easy operation after one - two days of training. PCC also is the designer and provider of TimeShareWare, the most widely used resort management software for the timeshare industry. "Our experience with TimeShareWare was invaluable in the development of CondotelWare," Jones explained. "Timeshare resort management is far more detailed than condo hotel management. After assessing our customers' needs, we determined condo hotels can also benefit from software that increases efficiency, while providing the tools staffs need to deliver highly personalized service." "There is a trend toward blending into one resort all types of hospitality units, including traditional hotel rooms, condominiums, and even fractionals and timeshare accommodations," Jones concluded. "We know our product will excel because of our long history with hundreds of resorts around the world." PCC is an international resort management software company based near Salt Lake City, Utah. The privately held firm is the pre-eminent developer of management systems for multi-ownership resorts including condo hotels, vacation ownership associations and timeshare resorts. During the past decade, the company has successfully installed more than 500 systems. Clients include Four Seasons Resorts, Embassy Vacation Resorts and Vacation Village Resorts.
