Business and web news : Resmark Systems Tour Booking Software Reports Strong Growth in Revenue and Clients

SALT LAKE CITY, UT,— Resmark Systems, comprehensive tour operator software created by professional tour operators to help travel businesses secure and track reservations, has seen strong growth with a nearly 300 percent increase in revenue since 2010. Resmark is a division of Western River Expeditions.

Much of the company’s recent growth is attributed to new products and time-saving features Resmark Systems (http://www.resmarksystems.com/) has introduced to the marketplace, said Chip Broyles, Client Success Manager for Resmark. These include intuitive online and mobile booking processes, and, most recently, WaiverSign, a digital liability waiver application.

“More and more tour companies are realizing the incredible benefits of having a reservation system that not only books their tours 24/7 (on desktop and mobile), but also a system that will automate marketing and get more sales. I also believe it's not just the product that tour operators love, it's our people. We have some excellent sales and support folks who really understand the industry and can help our clients beyond just their software needs,” said Broyles, underscoring that Resmark is different from other reservation systems because it was developed from within the industry with a deeper understanding of the needs of tour and activity providers.

Additional ancillary services and products complimenting existing Resmark offerings will continue to enhance core products, he said.

Following is a roster of a few of Resmark’s newest clients and their projects:

Alaska Alpine Adventures 
This is Alaska Alpine Adventure’s 15th year guiding wilderness expeditions in Alaska’s national parks and wildlife refuges. After utilizing Salesforce software for leads and bookings in the past, Alaska Alpine Adventures has taken advantage of Resmark’s online booking capabilities and quickly setup each track of the automated email campaign.
American Queen Steamboat

As the largest steamboat built in the United States, the American Queen is currently the only authentic overnight paddlewheel operational in America. Shore Excursions of America operates day excursions and tours of port cities along the way. One of the most prominent reasons for purchasing Resmark was the ability for guests to pay for reservations utilizing onboard credit as well as normal credit card transactions.

Predator Zip Line 
Predator Zip Line is a new zip line operation opening in the spring of 2013 in Camp Verde, AZ. Guests will be strapped into a harness and will soar over some of nature’s fiercest predators while zipping over the Out of Africa Wildlife Park. Resmark’s mobile online reservation functionality, especially geared to guests booking on tablets and other mobile devices such as smart phones will be a priority for Predator Zip Line.

Resmark’s capability to handle two different divisions within the same database we integral in Green River’s decision to select Resmark as their reservation and marketing solution. In addition, Resmark’s gift certificate functionality and automated email campaigns were two of the most important aspects of the system for Green River Adventures.

Jamaica Zipline Tours
Jamaica Zip Line Tours is a part of Zipline Adventure Tours, a U.S. based company that includes three other zip line operations in North America: Alpine Adventures, New York Zipline Tours and Red River Gorge Tours; all of which are current Resmark clients.

Raven’s Rim
New to Resmark in March of 2013, Raven’s Rim is a startup zip line adventure located in the heart of Moab, UT, a world-renowned mecca for adventure enthusiasts.

Raven’s Rim began taking customers on its course the first week of April, 2013.

Situated in the heart of the Smoky Mountains in Hartford, TN, Big Bear Expeditions is a startup whitewater rafting company located on the Pigeon River.
