CheckFree Health & Fitness Introduces CheckFree Schedule Manager
at Club Industry 2004
-- CheckFree Schedule Manager, in Conjunction with RCM Solutions, Provides
Comprehensive Reservation and Club Management Suite --
ATLANTA and CHICAGO, Oct. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Club Industry 2004
Booth #1255 -- CheckFree Health & Fitness, a business unit of CheckFree
Corporation (NASDAQ:CKFR), today announced the introduction of CheckFree
Schedule Manager, an Internet-based reservation system for health clubs of any
size at Club Industry's 2004 annual conference in Chicago. CheckFree Schedule
Manager integrates with RCM Solutions, CheckFree's complete club management
system, enabling clubs to streamline the scheduling and managing of their
resources and facilities.
Health clubs using CheckFree Schedule Manager can allow members and non-
members to schedule appointments online in real-time. Additionally, they can
easily and securely pay for those appointments either online via credit card or
at the club upon check in. As customers increasingly use the self- reservation
system, phone calls to employees are greatly reduced, enabling them to better
service health club members on-site. The system can be used by employees to
make reservations on behalf of members and non-members as well as enable them
to manage their availability, eliminating duplicate location or staff
reservations.
"Health clubs require scheduling solutions that enable staff to quickly and
easily access a variety of member information. They need a unified service that
facilitates all run-rate operations including scheduling, reservation check-in,
billing and accounting," said Matt McKernan, vice president and general manager
of CheckFree's Health & Fitness business unit. "The combination of CheckFree
Schedule Manager and RCM Solutions gives clubs the most comprehensive product
suite to meet their operational needs."
CheckFree Schedule Manager is easy-to-use and can easily be customized for the
unique business rules of individual clubs. Reservations can be tailored based
on a particular location, specific staff member, or combination of the two.
Administrators can also define any service they want to enable online from
tennis courts and swimming lessons to massage and tanning sessions.
CheckFree Schedule Manager provides the following benefits:
- Tight Integration with Club Management Solution-CheckFree Schedule
Manager is designed to work closely with RCM Solutions providing a
complete management and reservation system.
- Two-Way Communication-Advanced messaging technology enables two-way
communication between Schedule Manager and RCM Solutions to ensure the
most up-to-date information is available to the club and its members.
- Scalability-CheckFree Schedule Manager is designed to work at the
smallest clubs as well as large clubs with multiple site locations.
- Hosted by CheckFree-CheckFree Schedule Manager is hosted by the same
electronic center used to process online bill payments for more than 14
million customers since 1981. While RCM Solutions requires a simple
software download and installation, clubs only need to set up an
interface with CheckFree to operate CheckFree Schedule Manager.
CheckFree Schedule Manager will be available in spring 2005. For more
