CollegeNET Releases Web-Based Event Scheduling with Integrated E-Commerce
25Live E-Commerce Increases Efficiency, Accuracy and Customer Satisfaction
Portland, OR, November 8, 2010
CollegeNET, Inc., a provider of Web-based on-demand technologies for higher education, today announced the integration of e-commerce capabilities to 25Live®, its Web-based event scheduling, calendaring and publishing system. CollegeNET's 25Live is the first college event scheduling and publishing application to integrate and automate event registration and ticket and merchandise sales online to significantly increase efficiency, accuracy and customer satisfaction.
Campuses no longer need to rely on third party products to schedule events, manage ticket sales and distribution, or process payments – inconveniences that increased workload and the likelihood of loss due to errors and integration issues. With the addition of online payment and event registration options to 25Live, administrators can now track and cap event registration and ticket sales and manage merchandise inventory with one easy-to-access online tool.
The new e-commerce feature allows individuals on or off campus to register for events and pay for tickets, registration fees and other merchandise such as T-shirts and meals – with the convenience and security of online payment. The tool also automatically decreases inventory levels as purchases are made and tracks the number of attendees at each event to comply with any enabled registration caps.
"CollegeNET is proud to be the first in the higher education industry to offer campuses an integrated e-commerce feature to help streamline and simplify the event and scheduling process," said Tobi Macey, product manager at CollegeNET. "By integrating and automating the sales and accounting aspect of campus events management, colleges and universities can operate much more efficiently, with less work, fewer errors and greater customer satisfaction."
The new e-commerce capabilities are now available as part of CollegeNET's 25Live event scheduling, calendaring and publishing system. For more information about 25Live please contact CollegeNET at sales@collegenet.com.
