TimeShareWare (TSW), the leading tech provider for the timeshare resort industry, has announced the successful installation of the Resorts4Rent (R4R) application at the Monarch Grand Vacations.

Monarch Grand Vacations has been around since 1980 and offers more than 1,550 luxury villas across nine Pacific Monarch Resort locations in Mexico and the United States (US). The company recently realized that they needed to increase inventory utilization, while cutting down costs.

TSW’s R4R technology provides real-time rental bookings from third-party aggregators and consumer travel sites around the world. Third party partners bring agents, distribution systems, and other networks to form a massive digital exchange platform and rental community for individual resorts.

“With our rental reservations coming directly into TimeShareWare, we eliminate virtually all manual intervention,” explained Teri Boyle, Vice-President, Reservations/Guest Services of Monarch Owner Services, Inc. “Using LeisureLink’s live connection into our real-time inventory, we eliminate managing inventory on the extranets of each reseller. We also reduce potential for user errors, lost e-mails, and save on personnel hours.”

At Monarch Grand Vacations, R4R has been configured to work with LeisureLink Inc., a leading distribution and revenue management platform for specialty lodging suppliers. This gives Monarch a fully automated rental program across several channels.

As described by Perspective Magazine, “The Resorts4Rent interface allows Leisure Link to instantly query real-time availability from TimeShareWare and then confirm the reservation. Confirmation details are then transmitted immediately and sent to the appropriate reservation distribution channel. The entire process occurs in real-time while giving Monarch Grand Vacations the flexibility to expose specific inventory segments.”
