ESCAPIA and FAST TRANSACT Partnership Offers Web-Based Solutions for Vacation Rental Industry
Resort and vacation rental property managers can save time and money when managing properties and accepting credit card payments. PR9.NET April 24, 2007 - OLYMPIA, WA – Fast Transact Inc., a leader in credit card processing and payment gateway solutions, is pleased to announce their strategic partnership with Escapia, a Seattle-based company that develops top-rated software applications for vacation rental property management. The partnership consolidates both companies' expertise and technology strengths to address their clients' daily operation needs for professional rental management tools and payment integration. Tourism is the third largest retail industry in the United States, of which the typical lodging customer travels 48% for business and 52% for leisure. FAST TRANSACT's Rental Payment Management (RPM) program is geared towards the lodging industry's specific needs for credit card and check payment acceptance. Its Cost Plus Pricing structure ensures there are no hidden fees and RPM has the flexibility to integrate seamlessly with most retail and online reservation, property management, and POS systems. Escapia provides the leading Internet business platform for professional vacation rental managers and its web-based solutions help vacation rental companies increase efficiency and boost their income. Escapia powers their online reservations, streamlines reservation management, opens up new sources of revenue, enhances security and provides unparalleled flexibility in managing their business. "Having Escapia partner with Fast Transact is a great win for our customers, who benefit from a company that specializes in payment solutions designed specifically for vacation rental managers," said Bill Furlong, CEO of Escapia. "Fast Transact's solutions are compatible with the Escapia platform so our customers are able to process payments within the software. At Escapia, we are dedicated to helping our clients manage their entire business in one place; partnering with Fast Transact helps us achieve that goal." David Solomon, CEO of Fast Transact Inc, states, "RPM caters specifically to the lodging reservation process. Our knowledge of payment processing and how it interfaces with various reservation methods is the key to helping merchants understand how to reduce non-qualified transactions and eliminate inappropriate hidden fees. Escapia's software is designed to help vacation rental managers administer properties, online reservations, accounting, and other essential portions of their businesses. By looking at how our clients use various software to book and manage millions of reservations, the partnership with Escapia seemed to be a natural step in expanding our product and service offerings. I believe this alliance allows both parties to provide start-to-finish solutions for existing and new customers in the resort property management and vacation rental industries." # # #
