NAVIS Signs Prestigious Intrawest Destination - Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort will utilize the NAVIS System to convert more of their inbound telephone calls to reservations, capture more caller data, leverage their caller data for more targeted marketing, and drive more calls to their resort.

"We've seen the NAVIS System bring in significant new revenue at other resorts around the country and we fully expect the same thing to happen at Sandestin," said Kyle Buehner, CEO of NAVIS. "The Sandestin management team will have greater visibility into their business than ever before -- extensive data about their guests, prospects, agents, and marketing. With our Best Practices, we will show them how to convert that information into currency."

"Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort is committed to customer satisfaction. Switching to the NAVIS System will help ensure that the customer's first interaction with Sandestin is just one of many positive memories to come," said Justin Hill, director of marketing for the Resort. "The NAVIS System is helping to streamline the reservations process."
