Priverus Cloud Computing System Launches Next Generation in Spa Management Software

TORONTO, April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- The same visionaries who revolutionized the spa industry in the 1990s -- by creating the first fully-automated spa scheduling application -- have announced the launch of Priverus Software, the first cloud computing system for the spa industry.  The use of cloud computing for this specially-designed, cutting-edge software makes virtual servers available over the internet with 24/7 access to appointment scheduling, reporting, training and updates.   Priverus' unique system not only saves spas thousands of dollars of investment costs in hardware, software updates and training, but its capabilities also help make clients money each day.  And, like airlines and hotels, spas can now automatically adjust treatment rates according to availability and demand.   www.priverus.com

While the total cost of a typical spa software system hosted on site can range from $20,000 to $60,000, utilizing cloud computing allows Priverus to offer an even more efficient service for a one-time start up fee of $500 and a subscription fee starting as low as $75.00 per month. 

Underscoring its appeal, Priverus has already been installed several months before its official launch in locations ranging from a boutique hotel in Napa Valley to a Canadian harborfront colonial inn to a multi-property spa reservations center in California.
