Raintree Vacation Club, with 21 resorts in the Western US, Western Canada, and Mexico and over 50,000 Members/owners worldwide, recently contracted with TimeShareWare to add enterprise-wide Sales & Marketing and Club functionality to their existing TSW software platform.
Raintree is now using the entire breadth and depth of the TimeShareWare Enterprise platform for property management, owner contract management, reservations management, accounts receivable, front desk operations, housekeeping, maintenance, sales and marketing, and club management. TimeShareWare is replacing the existing RCC software at Raintree Vacation Club.
John Berger, Senior Vice President of Raintree Vacation Club, said TimeShareWare Enterprise provides everything Raintree needs. “TimeShareWare provides the technology platform we need to connect all of our functions together - from tours, contracts, club and reservations, to front desk and property level activities. It also gives us the ability to track and analyze the activity of our Members, and then, anticipate and deliver on their desires. It is the customer connection we’ve been looking for, not only to improve efficiency on our part, but to provide a superior level of customer satisfaction for our Members.”
Cheryn Pollard, Director of Marketing Communications at Raintree Vacation Club, says “Our primary objective is to consistently enhance our Members’ lives by providing extraordinary vacation experiences. Having everything on the TimeShareWare platform will allow our Raintree Vacation Guides to focus on the needs of our Members instead of our internal procedures. We have a sophisticated Club and this will be a big win for our Members.”
Candace Vigil, Business Development Manager for TimeShareWare commented, “We are delighted that Raintree Vacation Club has chosen to include sales and marketing and club management with their existing TimeShareWare modules. TimeShareWare’s advanced technology will provide the flexibility they need to expand products and services while maintaining the high level of customer service their Members have come to expect.”
Allen Rice, Chief Marketing Officer of TimeShareWare, says, “We are very pleased with the tremendous partnering relationship that we share with Raintree. We are confident that our technology platform will help Raintree Vacation Club to achieve even greater levels of success. We have always been impressed with the quality and professionalism of the Raintree team and how committed they are to the customers they serve.”

Laguna Holiday Club Installs TimeShareWare Enterprise To Manage Its Resort Properties
July 13, 2009 by Timeshare & Fractional News · Leave a Comment
Laguna Holiday Club (LHC), part of the Laguna Phuket destination resort, recently installed TimeShareWare Enterprise. Laguna Holiday Club chose TimeShareWare because it was the best software solution on the market and could handle their unique business practices.
The TimeShareWare Enterprise software was configured to meet Laguna Holiday Club’s distinct club requirements. Because there are several key differences between regulations in Asia and regulations in the United States, a different room configuration was added to the software, and, in addition, sales activities and policies for trade-ins and upgrades were adapted to meet the needs of Laguna Holiday Club.
The TimeShareWare software platform includes solutions for lead management, sales and marketing, member accounting, property management, reservations, and web-based member servicing. It is based on N-Tier Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), the goal of which is a worldwide integration of collaborating services.
Calvin Choo, LHC Regional Operations Director, said TimeShareWare will streamline the reservation process and provide quick and efficient data search. “Important data is now just a few clicks away,” said Choo. “Because of the flexibility of the TimeShareWare platform, Laguna Holiday Club was able to customize some rules and still operate our business in the manner required.”
According to TimeShareWare’s Chief Marketing Officer, Allen Rice, one important benefit TimeShareWare brought to Laguna Holiday Club was the ability to combine all data into a single database.
“In the past, Laguna Holiday Club stored data in several systems, including spreadsheets that relied on people to manually extract and interpret information. TimeShareWare has been able to create an environment that stores all essential data ‘cradle to grave’ for each guest, prospect, and member. In addition, TimeShareWare provides a best practice platform for business processes, as well as intuitive workflow and user interfaces,” said Rice.
Choo says the software will have a significant benefit to LHC Member Service staff. “It provides quick, efficient data lookups and streamlines the reservation process. The reservation restrictions and rules engine will drive staff accuracy, and the booking staff will no longer need to memorize their internal rules or consult an array of rule templates. Once set up in TimeShareWare, rules are automatically enforced according to every member’s rights and benefits. In the long run, it will create a higher level of customer satisfaction as each member can expect accurate and swift service with every request.”
