Colchester realises 'room' for huge improvement

Geared up for major improvements to room bookings service, Colchester Council become the latest to opt in for Zipporah's system.

Recent weeks have seen Colchester council put pen to paper on a deal which will see Zipporah's state of the art room booking system integrated into the council's existing intranet.

The move, which came after the council was referred by Zipporah’s partner Goss, has been celebrated as a milestone in improvements to customer service and internal operations as well as an important step taken towards how the council demonstrates its evolution as a whole.

Bringing the client up to speed

The integration, which will see the council deviate away from time consuming manual room bookings to much faster online room bookings, is expected to show a big increase in transaction levels as the system illustrates its capacity to manage high levels of simultaneous transactions without breaking a sweat. This likely eventuality has been underlined as forward thinking and innovative towards maximising the potential of previously quieter revenue streams.

Replacing a system that's been described as complicated and 'hard-to-manage', Zipporah's Jordan Burnell highlighted that the room booking integration will deliver a seamless solution at both front and back-ends, illustrating ease of use, report functionality and a whole host of important features.

Benefitting everyone 

“One of the things the customer will notice is how the system responds to dependency issues they raise at the front-end. That can include anything from booking a double room partition to 'next best solutions' if certain dates or times aren't available. This is something which makes the customer experience that much better, it's much more convenient and informative - which in turn will help to significantly reduce unnecessary phone calls”.

Principal operator, Sheldon Coulthrust, is among those who have suggested that the new system will help the day to day co-ordinating of bookings significantly as it overcomes persistent and serious issues that plagued the new system's predecessor.

The new system which will be implemented within the next 8 weeks is available to demo now, for more information contact Zipporah's Sales department on 02920 647048.
