SPI Orange Systems Offers Usage Rules Engine Capability

Sept. 25, 2009 - PRLog -- Systems Products International (SPI) Orange Systems, the timeshare software leader, announced the development of a ‘Rules Engine’ that enables resort operators to add an unlimited number of exceptions to the way their systems manage owner usage.

“We’ve virtually eliminated the need for resorts to pay for expensive programming to customize their software system to accommodate usage scenarios,” observes Matt Brosious, the company’s director of sales. “One example of an application for the new feature is to allow exceptions to the way customers can make a reservation – either on the Internet or by phone. For instance, let’s say your resort permits only members with gold points to reserve a three-bedroom unit less than 60 days before check-in. You could enter a rule into the system that would permit non-gold point owners to pay an upgrade fee to reserve the larger unit. Any conceivable rule for restricting use or charging upgrade fees can be accommodated.”

The Rules Engine can be set up by a resort’s information technology staff or by SPI. “We continue to research and implement industry Best Practices with our software,” adds Brosious. “Handling exceptions with the SPI Orange Systems Rules Engine provides resorts with unprecedented flexibility to adapt to changing usage rules.”
