[MCN-L] Tour Scheduling
Dear All, I know that this question was discussed a few years ago (see below), however, we are wondering if anyone has any new information in regards to online tour scheduling systems? We are looking to -Schedule multiple tours on the same day -Generate confirming letters -Produce statistics -Shared calendar Thank you! Sincerely, Janet Janet M.

It is inexpensive, has unlimited users, and a backdoor to Microsoft Access so you can create as many custom reports that you want without the worry about the upgrades writing over your customizations. We do not charge for tours, but I know that the program can produce invoices. We use it for scheduling, contact management, tour confirmations (hard copy or email) and resource management. We are in the process of reviewing our needs and looking at other software as well. We have looked at Artifax, Vista, and EBMS. There are advantages and disadvantages of each one. Please contact me if you wish to compare notes.

We bought it after conducting an RFP that ended up ruling out Raiser's Edge because of complexity and (in-house) support issues. We have a very small (2 people) Development department, and an IT department that needs another major application to support like a hole in the head. In addition to fund raising and development, we use it for mail list management. After 2 years of use, it has proven almost entirely trouble-free. I also like those guys because just before Katrina hit they invited me to zip up the database and ftp it to their server.

Re: Ticketing Software Question
Dear Amber, We are in the process of implementing Retail Pro for our museum shop. 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.
