Rezcontrol is delighted to announce that we are now part of the ClearCourse Group

Avondata Systems Ltd, home of Rezcontrol, is now part of ClearCourse, a UK-based software company. ClearCourse uses industry-specific software and embedded payment solutions to empower SMEs to grow their business and reach more customers, and we’re looking forward to working closely with them over the coming months and years.  

Why ClearCourse, and why now?

We know many of our customers and partners will be curious, and will perhaps worry that this move will affect their relationship with Rezcontrol. Avondata has after all been one of the UK’s largest independent PMS providers for over 30 years, with a focus on technical excellence and innovation, adding value and offering unparalleled personalised customer service.

However, there is typically only so far an SME can grow on its own, and our goal is to see Rezcontrol thrive, evolve and improve further. At Rezcontrol we always strive to be ‘best in class’, taking great pride in both our technical proficiency and our service, offering a fair and transparent fee and going the extra mile to listen to our customers and respond to their needs – something we can achieve even better with the backing and support of ClearCourse.

Becoming part of ClearCourse provides us and our customers with several exciting benefits, including:

• Investment in our product development so that we can bring you more valuable features that make running and growing your business easier
• Built-in, market-leading payments products that work seamlessly with our software, and a payments product roadmap built exclusively to meet the needs of our customers
• Professional learning and growth opportunities for our team that helps us develop and retain the talented team members you love working with
• Access to modern and secure cybersecurity and infrastructure systems and resources that continue to protect your business

“We realised that in order to progress to the next level, we needed a change,” explained Sarah Cade, MD of Rezcontrol. “But while our company structure will change, rest assured – our service will not. In fact, it will simply get better.”

“Our company structure will change – but our service will not”

With ambitious plans including the goal of becoming the go-to PMS provider in the UK, we met with the leadership team at ClearCourse and the synergies immediately became apparent.

Providing our customers with a one-stop-shop for PMS, POS, gifting and payments

“There are so many points of convergence, and so many ways in which Rezcontrol will benefit from being part of ClearCourse, particularly through their connections in the hospitality industry.” said Sarah. “Our customers will be introduced to a new and improved version of RezPay, powered by their purpose-built payment platform ClearAccept. Meanwhile Rezcontrol itself will benefit from ClearCourse’s professional services and support structure – bringing people, process and best practice together for the benefit of our customers.”

“Joining the ClearCourse group at this time will support Rezcontrol’s ambitious growth plans to become the go-to-solution in the market,” said Sarah. “The cross-selling opportunities with other leading products in ClearCourse’s portfolio, such as TISSL and Giftpro, will provide our customers with a one-stop-shop for PMS, POS, gifting, embedded payments and more.”

“Software gets better and more effective when it integrates with other software, and teams get stronger when we can bring brilliant people together”
