Conference Kent launch Chaser website

Kent Conference Bureau are the latest destination to employ Velvet Software's Chaser Web module to provide an on-line business tourism web site and automated enquiry handling system.

Kent's new web site www.conferencekent.co.uk is a complete web solution from Velvet that uses up-to-date information from the destination's Chaser BUREAU system to populate provider data (Venues, Suppliers, Attractions) on-line and to manage enquiries from the web site.

Visitors to the site may submit a brochure request, or a full enquiry including selected venues that they have chosen. Using an integrated search facility, visitors may find venues and suppliers who match their requirements and add the to a "basket" of providers that are atomatically attached to the enquiry and downloaded into the desintations' Chaser Bureau system for processing.

Visitors searching for venues are presented with a complete list of suitable matches with an overview of their facilities and meeting room capacities.

Further more detailed room information is available by clicking on the "More info..." link against each venue.

Venues and Suppliers may be added to an enquiry much like a shopping basked and submitted for processing by the bureau. Destinations click one button to download enquiries from the web site; all enquiry data is automatically imported and client records updated if the client already has existing enquiries.

The web module may form a complete stand-alone conference web site, as in the case of www.conferencekent.co.uk - alternatively it may be mebedded in a custom site or DMS (Destination Management System) driven web site.
