RTP Utilities and Tools

RTP offers code hooks for functionality such as collecting data at time of sale, by product or customer type, or prompt validation for discounts or fulfilling special offers. Implementing any of that requires configuration in the application and code to create the desired behavior. RTP will do that work for you, but it may not happen in the time frame you require. XbD can do many such chores and get them done quickly and well.

Utilities to simplify product setup and management, voucher creation and tracking, instructor training or sales force commission and rewards can added to RTP’s built in functionality, but, once again, you may get a quicker response from XbD that from RTP’s developers.

XbD uses IronSpeed Designer (www.ironspeed.com) to create and deploy web based front ends to SQL Server data. Projects have included a dispatch program for ski patrol, a dispatch program for mountain operations, an application to manage employee recognition benefits, a lost and found application, a customer loyalty application based on vertical feet skied, weekly labor tracking with variance to budget and prior year, business activity reports with automated delivery to email and SMS, and budgeting management. It also provides a great platform for quick, no frills utilities.

Microsoft’s Sharepoint technology is built into Microsoft Server 2003 and beyond. Versions with advanced features require additional licensing, but the features available at no additional cost in Windows Sharepoint Services (WSS) offer an impressive array of collaboration tools for distributing information, helping teams work together, organizing projects or managing workflows. XbD uses Sharepoint to facilitate client projects. If you see features you like we’ll be glad to help set them up at your resort.
