One of the best "hidden features" of Libra OnDemand is the platform that it is built on - force.com. In layman's terms, it is an on demand development platform that allows organizations that are using it to easily customize and extend their applications. In other words if you are using Libra OnDemand for your hospitality sales and catering operations, you can extend the functionality of your app to almost any other aspect of your business.

For example, a recent client of ours has been so impressed with the flexibility of the platform, that they've decided to build a spa booking application to run their own health spa. They are extending the events booking functionality of Libra OnDemand to make it suitable to book spa resources such as treatment rooms and practitioners. While this is not going to compete with the full-featured stand alone spa management packages, it will get the job done for a fraction of the cost. And the beauty of it is that it will tie in very nicely with the CRM feature set of Libra OnDemand so full customer history is maintained and always stays up to date.

Or here is another example. The ice cream company Haagen-Dazs (not a Libra OnDemand customer) has decided to build their own franchise management solution using force.com. What a great idea and it just proves how the Power to Innovate is allowing companies to achieve success... on demand.
