Incentives are Your Lifeline. Your Software Should Be Too

Beyond the Basics: What Features Should I Really Look for in Timeshare Incentive Software?

Choosing the right incentive software can make or break your resort’s operations. Many platforms claim to “manage incentives,” but not all deliver the features your teams really need. So what should you look for when evaluating a solution?

The Pitfalls of “Basic” Incentive Tools

• Limited Reporting: Generic dashboards don’t give finance or operations real oversight.

• Paper-First Mentality: Some platforms still depend on printers and scanners.

• One-Size-Fits-All: Designed for broad industries, not the unique challenges of timeshare.

Must-Have Features in Incentive Software

When evaluating options, make sure your platform delivers:

• Real-Time Reporting & Analytics → Track tours, incentives, and costs instantly.

• Mobile Gifting → Equip OPCs and gift rooms with zero-peripheral tools.

• Paperless Transactions → Digital vouchers and cards eliminate waste and fraud.

• Role-Based Oversight → Sales, operations, and finance each get the data they need.

• Scalability → Able to support multiple properties, vendors, and gift types.

• Industry Expertise → Purpose-built for timeshare, not a retrofitted CRM.

Why It Matters

The right features aren’t just “nice to have.” They:

• Reduce operational headaches.

• Increase guest satisfaction.

• Give leadership the vantage point to make smarter decisions.

The Bottom Line

Incentive management is too important to leave to generic tools. By focusing on the right features, you’ll ensure your resort has the efficiency, accuracy, and insights needed to compete in today’s market.
