BASALT, Colo. – November 11, 2008 - ResortQuest, the largest property management company for vacation rentals in the U.S., announced that it selected Instant Software as its long-term technology partner. After a comprehensive year-long evaluation, ResortQuest chose Instant Software (ISI), the leading technology solution provider for the vacation rental industry, because of ISI’s unique ability in this industry to grow, adapt, and execute on ResortQuest’s long-term needs.
Instant Software’s market-leading Reservations and Business Management Solutions combined with Online Solutions and what is quickly becoming the Vacation Rental industry’s only true Global Distribution System (ISILink) are the most robust and comprehensive offerings in the industry. ResortQuest will manage its 10,000 vacation rental properties with the most intuitive and feature-rich applications and market its properties real-time and automated to a channel partner network with over 15 million potential travelers per month on the internet (anticipated to be over 40 million per month in the near future).
ResortQuest evaluated 12 technology companies throughout a comprehensive selection process before concluding that Instant Software had the most complete end-to-end solution and the greatest stability to be there for them in the long-run. All of ResortQuest’s Local Operating Companies around the U.S. will be running an Instant Software Reservations solution and integrating with ISILink for web distribution on their own websites as well as through channel partner sites.
“Finding the right company for a long-term partnership and commitment was a big decision for us,” explains Park Brady, CEO of ResortQuest. “We needed the confidence that our technology partner could grow and adapt with rapidly changing technologies in order to maintain our competitive advantage. Many of our Local Operating Companies are already running on Instant Software’s technologies and manage web distribution through ISILink. We look forward to growing our relationship.”
“We are honored to be selected as the long-term partner for the largest and one of the most technologically innovative property management firms in the vacation rental industry,” says Dave Hopcroft, CEO of Instant Software. “We have had a great relationship with ResortQuest and are excited about the future prospects this partnership will cultivate.”
