Major US Organisation Implement Rendezvous For Room And Event Management

July 28, 2009 - PRLog -- NFS Hospitality, the leading providers of hospitality software and meeting management software, are proud to be offering their Rendezvous software to NAHB, for room and event management.

In the current economic market, efficiency is imperative, which is why NAHB, the Washington, D.C.-based trade association whose mission it is to enhance the climate for housing and the building industry, found it absolutely necessary to find one single solution that could effectively manage their corporate office, National Housing Center and their NAHB’s Annual Convention and Exposition, known as the International Builders’ Show or IBS, which is the largest show of its kind for the residential and light commercial construction industry.

Founded in 1942, the NAHB considered Rendezvous as the perfect single solution to their problems, and as a direct result, this sophisticated suite of software was implemented to replace their existing Newmarket Delphi software.

The National Housing Center hosts many of the organizations internal meetings that are continuously recurring.  The International Builders’ Show however is a very complex event that in 2009 and 2010 will be held at Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV.

This event has thousands of attendees, hundreds of meeting rooms allocated over the week for meetings, seminars, education and symposiums.  Rendezvous was the perfect integrated management solution as it excels in the management of large events, allowing for the event planners at NAHB to put all of their details in one solution and then even create BEOs to communicate the details to the hotel and convention centre.

Peter Carter, from NFS Hospitality, the leaders in venue management software, said, “One of the priorities for NAHB when selecting a replacement software solution was to ensure that the provider of the new solution was willing to have a relationship that would result in the customizations that NAHB required.”

“Here at NFS Hospitality we signed up to provide a solution that would meet all of the needs of NAHB and would be flexible for the custom work that may be required.  This partnership has allowed for the successful implementation of Rendezvous and also the success of the first International Builder’s Show to be organised and carried out efficiently.”

Made up of more than 800 state and local associations, around one-third of NAHB’s more than 200,000 members, are home builders and/or remodelers. The remaining members are associates working in closely related fields within the housing industry, such as mortgage finance and building products and services.

The association is member-driven, with a professional staff of more than 300 in Washington. More than 2,800 members serve on the association’s board of directors, which elects the association’s Senior Officers and helps set the association’s agenda.

By implementing Rendezvous as a solution to venue and event management, NAHB are currently taking advantage of many aspects of Rendezvous to make their organization more efficient including an administrator interface for the management of all booking details including rooms, resources, A/V, and catering, self service modules, for internal meetings at the National Housing Center, a comprehensive CRM functionality to manage their attendees and event management including the generation of BEOs.

Mr. Carter added, “Rendezvous is the perfect single solution for a busy organization, like NAHB with both daily internal meetings and also large complex events.”
