(Richmond, VA – October 14, 2015) Robb Smyth, vice president of sales for IBS Club Software, will participate on the panel discussing “Business Intelligence in the Private Club Industry” at the Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP) Annual Convention and Tradeshow, October 21-24 in Bellevue, Washington. The panel discussion will take place on Thursday, October 22, from 10:15 until 11:30 a.m. at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue. Bill Boothe, president of The Boothe Group, will moderate.
As a member of the panel, Smyth will discuss the advantages of having immediate access to detailed, highly configurable reports of both real-time data and historical comparisons for operational and planning purposes. Both on the panel and at the IBS Club Software tradeshow booth (#208, October 21-22), Smyth will focus on the time-saving benefits of two IBS business intelligence products: Cloud Business Intelligence (Cloud BI), accessed from a browser, and the Excel-based Business Intelligence product.
Managers of private clubs, using Cloud BI, for example, have access to instantaneous, highly detailed reports using a browser from virtually anywhere. Individually configured login credentials allow managers to compare the performance of all aspects of the club’s business at once or drill down to detailed daily, hourly or activity reports for one or all departments. Both business intelligence products offer:
• User-definable dashboards with drill down
• Web-based, real-time IBS data for reporting and tee sheet utilization
• Historical comparisons to same day, previous day, month, year and/or custom ranges
• Configurable reports based on login credentials
• Reports using other software at the club, i.e. payroll and tee times
