TCSReservations FEATURES LIST

Work from home in your pajamas! A web-based (hosted) reservation system has it's good points:
  • Access it from anywhere you can get to the internet
  • Separate web interfaces for owners, housekeepers, travel agents, administrator, etc.

    An installed system has it's good points:
  • The security of having your data stored in your office
  • The privacy of not having your data jumbled up with another company's data
  • Not a target for hackers
  • You know who's checking in, even if your internet is down
  • Much faster when working in the program from a workstation in the office

    That's what makes TCSReservations the best of BOTH worlds! Install a server in your home/office and don't worry about the care and feeding of it. It's not rocket science, anymore. Servers are sturdier multi-taskers than regular workstations, making your server (give it a pet name) the brain of your operation.

    Even the smallest business needs their own web server to operate faster, smarter, safer, cheaper:
  • Using web-based programming for critical applications is actually a step-backward. Programming languages used to write web-based applications resemble writing for DOS. Very little is visually designed and not well-integrated.
  • By installing software written in a robust language like Delphi or C++, you get the swift elegance of a Dynamic Link Library (a compiled binary executable) to construct web-interfaces in addition to the program.
  • Here's a for instance: just install TCSReservations on a computer running Windows XP Pro and wait to add a server for online booking. Make it your best friend and have more time to go out to dinner.
