One of the latest solutions created by Thornton Software.
We were approached by a local company launching a new ‘Estate Agency’, they wanted all the facilities normally found in an agency package but they needed it quick! After initial consultations we projected that utilizing the rich yet rapid development facilities of Microsoft’s™ WPF and our twenty years experience in designing systems, we could have a system ready before they opened for business. Part one of the three development stages was completed in just four weeks.
Although the first stage was a rush, due to the sound design constructs we use and the flexibility in designing the user experience with WPF we had no trouble adding parts two and three after the system had started to be used.
Hotel Desk version 2 was written over ten years ago as a bespoke package for the Lyndene Hotel, one of the biggest independent hotels in Blackpool. The Lyndene has over one hundred and fifty rooms and is open all year round. In over ten years of use the Lyndene have only had two support calls for assistance. In producing version 3 we have worked closely with our customers of version 2 to improve an already excellent system.
We wanted to increase some of the productivity steps in using the software, this was a good opportunity to use some of the visual elements available with recent software development. We have also used Silverlight© to provide a ‘web’ room availability add-on to the hotel software.
