LONDON, UK / Portsmouth, NH, November 14, 2007. Newmarket International, Inc., the leader in sales and catering solutions for the hospitality technology industry, today announced that The Gleneagles(R) Hotel, the world-renowned luxury resort in Perthshire, Scotland, selected its Sales Advantage suite of group business solutions. The Sales Advantage will automate Gleneagles' group, corporate and event management business processes, from the management of leads and responding to request-for-proposals (RFPs) to room diagramming and the execution of meetings and events. Gleneagles selected Newmarket's technology as part of an upgrade plan to improve procedures across its business.
"We turned to Newmarket because of its complete suite of sales and catering offerings. We want all our business data to be integrated and reside in the same central place so we can streamline our processes and get a holistic view of our customers and operations," said Brett Davidge, Project Manager at Gleneagles.

The Sales Advantage suite consists of several products including, Delphi(R), the leading sales and catering solution, and Diagrams, an application which will allow Gleneagles to easily generate customised floor plans and setups.
