CHERRY VALLEY, N.Y. RBS Inc., the motorcoach industry tour-and-charter software supplier, plans to unveil significant enhancements to its entire product line at UMA Motorcoach Expo 2008 next month in San Francisco.

Company President Bill Harnett said the upgrades represent "one of our most-ambitious release sets yet. It affects all our product lines and the coordination to bring this online for our 400 customers across North America is a challenge we look forward to."

Here is a rundown of the RBS enhancements that will be demonstrated at Expo:

Version 20 release of GoChart 2000 Program. Version 20 includes almost 100 enhancements to reports, user interface and security.

Enhanced cost calculation functions and cost-plus pricing options. These improvements will assure that proposed revenue targets are achieved.

Expanded management reports. The reports are created using the source data in RBS that will assist members of "20 Groups" to complete monthly and annual reports.

RBS Secure Off-Site Backup Service. RBS Vice President Bob Schecter identifies this as "the most important operation you can perform each day in your office." Schecter says he has seen too many companies lose their data because they thought their backup was working when, in fact, it was not.

The RBS Off-Site Backup Service takes a copy of critical accounting, maintenance and charter data each day and stores it on RBS servers. "In the event of a disaster, we can quickly have the data available for your remote access via MS terminal services," said Schecter. "This backup system minimizes the effect this kind of crisis will have on your business."

Credit card direct deposit. This feature will be available for the popular RBS GoTourOnline program. "Direct deposit for the RBS charter module, GoChart2000, should follow within a month or two after the show," says developer Walter Buist. "We want to make sure the beta customers are satisfied before we go into wider release of this product."
