Velvet Software

reg.istrations.com LIVE on-line @ Dundee

Velvet Software's new on-line delegate registration system reg.istrations.com was launched with our first flagship clients receiving training for their upcoming event in 2008.

Tim Clark, Director, who made the journey to Dundee to provide the training on the new system said, "It's the most satisfying thing to deliver a new system to clients following months of development and to see it live in action - we took Dundee's requirements and enhanced the functionality of the design to make reg.istrations.com not only a solution to Dundee's requirements but a class leading product that's powerful, flexible and above all, easy to use".

Newcastle Gateshead Hotels On-line with ConferenceBOOKINGS

Four sessions, ten hotels per session in one day - that's all it takes to get a destination on-line, up and running.

The Newcastle Gateshead Initiative (NGI) opted for Velvet Software's ConferenceBOOKINGS.co.uk system to manage their conference accommodation. Following the destination team training the week before, Tim Clark provided a day's training on-site for their accommodation providers enabling them to manage their allocations directly on-line.

ChUG Express - Chaser User Group Meeting, Bradford-Leeds

ChUG, Velvet Software's Chaser User Group, meets twice a year; in previous years we've held one meeting at  the British Association of Conference Destination (BACD); in 2007 we added an additional day's meeting in November.

The ChUG Express meeting in January was an additional meeting following the feedback from November's success allowing destinations from the North of England to view the forthcoming new features and  outcome of the November meeting.

"Super Bureau" Presentation of the "New Chaser BUREAU"

Velvet Software's Tim Clark presented the design of the new web-based Chaser BUREAU system to members of the new Leeds-Bradford "Super Bureau" meeting held at the Leeds-Bradford Cedar Court hotel.

The focus of the meeting was the member launch of the new combined bureau, bringing together members from destinations including Leeds, Bradford, Kirklees and Wakefield - a core part of this was the presentation of the new web-based Chaser BUREAU system that will be accessible from each of the destinations and the direct on-line interface for venues providing them with live feedback on enquiries from the bureau.

Newcastle Gateshead Initiative switch to ConferenceBOOKINGS

Velvet Software are delighted to welcome the Jessica Clements, Bureau manager and her team at the Newcastle Gateshead Initiative (NGI).

Headed by Anna Moroney, the accommodation booking service handles large volumes of group and individual bookings for specific events taking place across the destination. The transition from their existing in-house accommodation booking system to ConferenceBOOKINGS took just three days to complete during which the new ConferenceBOOKINGS system was populated with venue data and all twenty live events loaded complete with allocations and pricing.

Nottingham choose Chaser BUREAU

Experience Nottingham carried out a review of their existing in-house systems and web content in Novermber 2007. Following a remote system demonstration of Chaser BUREAU and the on-line Chaser WEB module, the team chose Chaser BUREAU as their new enquiry handling system.
