its Suite of Sophisticated Reporting Capabilities . Enhanced Guest, Meeting Planner and Employee Feedback Programs Will Significantly Aid Those Seeking an Edge in the Industry�s Recovery |
DALLAS � Nov. 4, 2003 � UniFocus today announced that it has
launched ACTIONScope�, an enhancement to its guest, meeting planner and
employee satisfaction measurement services. ACTIONScope is an advanced
project management application. Items identified in any of UniFocus�
satisfaction measurement services requiring follow up are easily assigned
to a responsible party through a few simple clicks. Management is then
provided with continuous monitoring of the progress on corrective measures
until they are resolved. It also provides monitoring of on-going
projects that can slip past an organization due to the pressures of day-to-day
events. All of this occurs on UniFocus� fully hosted and managed
Web-based reporting platform. Now, issues that drive the advantage of customer
and employee loyalty need never to fall through the cracks again.
With recovery for the industry predicted in the coming year, effective execution of the kind of service delivery that leads to long-term loyalty has become increasingly important. �There are many indicators that tell us loyalty in key segments of the industry has shifted during the down turn of the past two years,� said Mark Heymann, chief executive officer of UniFocus. �As the industry enters this recovery period, we see significant opportunity for those who excel in delivering service to capture additional market share. Business and leisure travelers will be re-shopping for their preferences during the recovery because the overall economy will continue to force them to do so.� ACTIONScope provides for the tracking of progress across various management levels, from department heads, to general managers, up to executive offices at corporate headquarters. Management will also have the benefit of tracking �time to correction� to aid in the establishment of best practices for their organizations. Additional benefits of ACTIONScope to hospitality management are numerous.
�Our customers have told us they think of many things they would like to see happen when reading their online feedback reports,� said Joe Sullivan, president of the FOCUSED Scorecard division at UniFocus. �But, they admit that due to many factors, not everything they think of gets put into action and not every action gets done. They are reminded of this when they see issues repeatedly come up in their feedback reports. We wanted to give them a real-time tool that allows them, at the �point-of-thought,� to address and assign tasks with the peace of mind of accountability.� ACTIONScope is available today to be customized with any UniFocus satisfaction and measurement services for guests, meeting planners and employees.
