Press Release: InfoGenesis
February 7, 2002
SANTA BARBARA & EMERYVILLE, CA -- InfoGenesis and Eatec Corporation, leading solution providers to the hospitality
and foodservice industries, yesterday announced a partnered installation at Orange Lake Resort & Country Club
in Florida, consisting of Revelation point-of-sale (POS) solution from InfoGenesis and Eatec's EatecNetX enterprise
back-office foodservice management solution.
Opened in 1982 by Holiday Inn's founder, Kemmons Wilson, Orange Lake Resort & Country Club is the world's largest
single-site timeshare resort, spread over 1,100 acres and only minutes from Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando
and other major attractions. Orange Lake offers seven on-property restaurants and bars for its timeshare owners
and guests, including the Paisan Pizzeria and the Beachfront Bar & Grill. The resort also has several retail
outlets, pro shops and a general store.
InfoGenesis and Eatec have carefully integrated their applications, linking Revelation and EatecNetX, to deliver
a powerful and easy-to-use solution for Orange Lake's food and beverage and retail operations. The InfoGenesis
POS solution includes 28 IBM SurePOS 500 terminals running Revelation, enabling Orange Lake to track sales in each
of their revenue centers. Orange Lake relies on EatecNetX for inventory management, purchasing, requisitions and
transfers, and physical inventory. By integrating Revelation and EatecNetX, Orange Lake Resort now has property-wide
access to accurate inventory quantities. The costs and prices of new retail items are downloaded automatically
to update the Revelation database in EatecNetX. Retail barcode labels are created in EatecNetX and scanned by Revelation
to record sales. Profit analyses by revenue center are generated easily at any time.
``The Revelation and EatecNetX solution opens up a whole new level of customer service for us,'' stated Scott Casey,
Vice President and Chief Information Officer at Orange Lake. ``This partnered solution from InfoGenesis and Eatec
provides us with a way to streamline our inventory, purchasing and sales operations.''
Orange Lake also uses Revelation POS to offer special discounts throughout the resort by enabling timeshare owners
to use a smart card at the point of sale. This technology offers Orange Lake's owners additional convenience with
full access to their account charging and discount privileges from anywhere within the resort.
In addition to its retail and restaurant operations, the resort supplies more than 1,800 timeshare units with items
ranging from linens to kitchen equipment to furniture. In the near future this inventory will also be managed with
EatecNetX. ``We are excited about the ability to use EatecNetX for unit inventory tracking, as this will improve
our reporting and cost analysis,'' added Casey.
