It has advanced inventory control; point of sale; and merchandising capabilities. It also has extensive reporting. We had to customize the system for ticketing. I do not believe it handles tour reservations - but you may be able to customize it for that too. We purchased the system from IMS (International Micro Systems Inc., www.ims-pro.com). The company also sells software entitled STADIS that integrates ticketing, concessions, and merchandise. So far, it seems to be powerful enough for our operations. I have not compared it to VISTA - but it can collect customer data and zip codes that is useful in targeted mailings. I will be able to let you know if it works as we hope it to work in a few months when we are fully operational with the system. Sincerely, Janet ----- Janet M.

Retail Pro doesn't have the ability to collect marketing information that VISTA does and obviously the POS doesn't do scheduling. We find that we need the ability to modify scheduled groups because the number of individuals often changes from the initial reservation. Lloyd M.

Does anyone know of or use a system that handles both retail sales and ticketing? Or does anyone use VISTA back office for tour reservations and a different system for retail and ticketing? I'd really appreciate any advice or information anyone might have about combining ticketing and store sales. Thanks!
