CaterTrax Integration into Resource Scheduler Expands Catering Services from Within Leading Room and Asset Management Application
FRAMINGHAM, MA and WEST HENRIETTA, NY, January 18, 2008 – PeopleCube, provider of intelligent workplace and resource management technology, and CaterTrax, a leading provider of on-demand catering management systems, today announced that they have formed a strategic partnership to integrate the CaterTrax catering services application into PeopleCube’s Resource Scheduler room and asset management solution. This integration expands the available catering services and functionality from within Resource Scheduler to include a wide range of menu items, delivery methods, billing information and more.
Resource Scheduler is the leading web-based workplace and resource management solution that allows users to quickly and easily manage and schedule shared resources and assets - such as meeting rooms, teleconferencing equipment, athletic fields and shared workspaces - throughout the organization. CaterTrax is the preeminent web-based catering management platform for colleges and universities, hospitals, B&Is and supermarkets. The integration of the two applications allows Resource Scheduler customers to leverage CaterTrax simple, intuitive foodservice functionality directly from Resource Scheduler. As a result, users are able to request expanded menu items, food delivery options, billing information and more during the resource reservation process. The integration also provides the measurable data required for many organizations to improve their financial efficiency, competitive food offerings, food safety and environmental-friendly business practices.
“Thousands of organizations use Resource Scheduler every day to help them manage and schedule the rooms and other assets needed for a meeting or event. However, catering cannot be overlooked as another primary component to ensuring meeting success,” said Joan Krueger, director of business development and alliances at PeopleCube. “We are very excited about this new partnership with CaterTrax because of the benefits it provides to many of our customers. To be able to intuitively reserve rooms and other resources while planning, requesting, and managing catering services simultaneously is a huge advantage, as it greatly streamlines the entire meeting and event management process.”
“Resource management has become one of the most important initiatives an organization can make to improve efficiencies expected to meet today's high business standards,” said CaterTrax Co-founder Richard Rund. “CaterTrax meets the foodservice-production expectations of colleges, hospitals, and other organizations that tend to also require rooms and other resources in conjunction with their catering requests. As a result, the integration between CaterTrax and Resource Scheduler fills a much-needed void by bringing a greater value to the ultimate client and primary stakeholder - the business enterprise - by providing a fully-integrated catering and workplace management solution.”
