Announcing the Launch of Volo

Vancouver, Canada, March 06, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Volo Innovations introduces a revolutionary new business management software called Volo today at the 27th Annual International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association Convention and Trade Show (IHRSA). Volo has been designed by health and fitness professionals who have taken their combined 20 years of real world experience to develop a remarkably affordable and easy to use business management software that addresses the challenges specific to the industry. Volo centralizes and integrates appointment scheduling, facility reservations, invoicing, client and staff management, inventory and business reporting. The result is an immediate end to expensive scheduling errors, the ability to do accurate invoicing within seconds and superb one-on-one customer service, all at the simple click of a button. Gone is the clutter of paperwork, the complexity of multiple software programs and the waste of time and risk of error inherent in both.

With Volo, sophisticated functionality is balanced with simplicity. The highly intuitive interface and navigation greatly minimizes the learning curve for management and staff. Even the initial set-up, which is facilitated by Volo support, has businesses up and running within an hour.

Volo is uniquely adaptable. All segments of the industry, including independent fitness trainers, yoga studios, physiotherapists and sports clubs can benefit from comprehensive business management without sacrifice due to budget or size. Volo is also capable of seamlessly evolving as businesses grow in membership, location and services offered. Say goodbye to expensive add-on modules or the need to suffer through complicated migrations of business data to different software in the future.

Volo uses a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, which provides customers with the added benefit of never having to worry about updates, backups or maintenance. Gone are the days of having to buy expensive new releases for out-of-the-box software. With Volo, everything is done automatically and seamlessly at no cost. Volo also delivers the confidence that everything is safe and secure with SSL 256 bit encryption, secure logins and daily data backups.

“We are thrilled to be able to offer such a robust and dynamic business management software and at the same time make it accessible in terms of price and ease of use”, says Barry Duncan, Volo Innovations Founder and Innovations Director. “The long term sustainability of the health and fitness industry is something we are passionate about. With 60% of the industry still relying on paper to manage their business and at the opposite end of the spectrum businesses spending $2,000 to $6,000 a year on software, we’re proud to offer Volo as the viable solution”.

In celebration of the launch, Volo is offered at promotional pricing for the first year of service. The cost for individual health professionals is $25 per month, (regular $50) and the cost for clubs and facilities is $100 per month, (regular $150). The $200 initial set up fee is also being waived. Software upgrades, maintenance and backups are free and there are no cancellation fees.

"Volo has been an invaluable tool to keep our business organized and efficient”, says Troy Dalton, owner of Groundwork Athletics. “The scheduling function is ideal for our staff to book and change appointments in real time. As a manager, the invoicing features have reduced my time spent at month end by 50% and the administration reports allow me to keep a handle on where our business is at currently and what we need to plan for. I highly recommend Volo to anyone in the training business!"
