Merger Troubles

Mergers and acquistions giving you a headache?

In today’s world, mergers and acquisitions are the norm. In 2024, Hilton Grand Vacations acquired Bluegreen Vacations, a giant timeshare operator of its own right [1]. Travel + Leisure acquired Accor Vacation Club [2], after being acquired themselves by Club Wyndham in 2021 [3].

Mergers and acquisitions always create a turbulent time for the companies involved. With so much potential on the horizon for what could be, the waters are often muddied with combining systems, new processes, and increased regulatory scrutiny following a merger or acquisition [4].

Technology, in particular, can be a real sticking point for company mergers. Often, this results in employees having to use several programs just to do a simple task, like checking a guest in for their tour, or making sure they receive their gift. Something that used to take 5 minutes takes 10, and the inefficiencies start piling up.

What if there was a way to simplify everything down to one application, all while keeping databases separated and secure, and pulling information from multiple sources?

Simplifying Technology

GiftBox makes rolling out software to any device easy.

Enter iTicket Solutions, the incentive management platform made for timeshare. With iTicket Solutions, leaders can get the insight that they need from the very top, while making sure that data remains separated and users only see what they should. Separate levels of access and organize your company the way that you need to [5].

Gone are the days of complicated roll out processes that take months or even years to arrange all of the details for. With iTicket Solutions, new installs take less than five minutes and can be put on any computer or tablet, saving you money on new hardware and the headache of logistics. Imagine: everybody could be using the same system in less than a month.

With market consolidation in the timeshare resort industry on the rise [6], everybody needs to be thinking about what their plans are when it’s time to get on the same page and fast. Will the technology that you’re using be just another burden during a merger? Or will you be setting your sights toward a future ripe with potential for growth?
