Group Events integrates seamlessly with SkedgeMe’s Individual Appointment capabilities to make any type of scheduling easy for organizers and participants. As with SkedgeMe’s Individual Appointments, participants can self-schedule online via any web browser and organizers have a full suite of tools to manage the events. Organizers can:

    Create a single or recurring Group Event    Configure events such that attendees can sign up for the whole series of events at once (like a course) or individual sessions (like an exercise class)    Define a maximum capacity, location, and price of each event    Book one or more staff and/or resources (rooms, equipment) for the event

“Group Events is a key addition to the SkedgeMe repertoire of ‘smart’ calendar tools, and our users will find real value in being able to schedule multiple variables at once,” said Richard Ruben, co-founder of SkedgeMe. “Good startups benefit from the feedback of their early customers, and Group Events was designed specifically based on the feedback of our clientele.”

SkedgeMe streamlines the booking process by allowing customers to self-book online 24 hours a day. The service provides robust customer analytics and CRM functionality, enabling businesses to understand the behavior and preferences of customers in real-time. SkedgeMe’s automatic reminder system reminds staff and participants about upcoming events and helps minimize no-shows.

The Rochester Group Introduces AviTrak®

The Rochester Group, Inc., today announced the launch of AviTrak®, its powerful Business Intelligence software, to deliver data-driven decision making capabilities to mid-sized companies and corporate business units. In a competitive marketplace, business leaders at all levels need access to information to monitor performance and guide critical decision making. AviTrak redefines the concept of reporting, delivering analysis that’s immediate, interactive and collaborative.

“Companies typically gather lots of data in their corporate systems, but struggle to garner the insights that they need from canned reports,” said Peter Tieslink, co-owner of The Rochester Group. “We know that businesses need the ability to look at a problem from multiple angles to really understand what’s going on. The dynamic nature of AviTrak puts that exploratory capability into the hands of everyday users.”

“It’s also important to recognize that you need to deliver information differently for different audiences,” Tieslink continued. “Some people like visuals better than number crunching and, in fact, graphics are powerful tools for understanding performance and trends. AviTrak’s dashboards, charts and graphs help users to spot anomalies at a glance – and they’re interactive, so you can delve deeper into the data right on the graph display page.” AviTrak is a Software as a Service (SaaS) application that provides highly secure access to your company’s data from anywhere in the world via a web browser.

The Rochester Group is pleased to represent the innovative talent of Upstate New York’s technology community and is proud to add AviTrak to its suite of product offerings.

About The Rochester Group, Inc.:
The Rochester Group was founded in 1982 by visionaries who saw the opportunity to combine business savvy with software in order to help companies generate better business outcomes. AviTrak® is a Business Intelligence application that works with the data captured in one or more corporate systems to put the power of interactive reporting into the hands of users. Offered at a price point that is affordable for small to mid-sized businesses, the application is powerful enough for corporate business units as well.
