Progressive custom tailors its solutions around it's "Vision" family of products. Vision EMS is a fully integrated event management system that supports each stage of the event cycle from Sales Contact through to Invoicing and post-event evaluation. 

Tailored to the Hotel Industry, Vision SC contains the same features as Vision EMS (Function Diary, BEO's, Contracts, Work Orders, Account Management, etc.) with the addition of powerful bedroom block management functionality. Vision MPE accommodates the simultaneous management of multiple properties from a single shared program linked to a single shared database. In addition to a broad range of add-on modules such as Inventory Control, Labour Tracking and Room Viewer Interface, Progressive also offers an introductory, highly affordable, version of the program for small to medium and large sized properties.

Says Jim Dearlove, Progressive's President and co-founder: "We are quite excited about this partnership.  We've always known that Vision is a very powerful and versatile program available to the Hospitality Industry.  Now we are confident that, joining with MAI Canada Ltd., it will no longer be one of the industry's best kept secrets".

"We are excited and eager to demonstrate this product to the industry. Vision is a dynamic product that offers an alternative for many hotels.", stated Aurelio DaMota, Sales Director of MAI Canada Ltd., "We are confident that this application offers extensive and rich functionality that exceeds your standard Sales and Catering software. Vision has a wide area of deployment from conventional hotel and resort installations to campgrounds and other tourist facilities. This really is a product to be seen."
