MD – January 2018 / Newsmaker Alert /
Every hotel owner and manager
strives for the same goal: delight guests while generating significant
revenue and profits. But achieving this holy grail often proves elusive.
Many hotels still perceive the property management systems (PMS) as a cost
center. Quite the contrary. Today’s modern cloud-based PMS platforms have
the potential to increase the productivity of your team, the efficiency
of your operations, increase your guest spend and impact your bottom line
in many ways.

In
our latest guide, “Modern
PMS: The Ultimate Hotel Revenue Generator”, we highlight the top six
ways the right hotel PMS can be the ultimate revenue generator for your
property. Let’s dive right in with a few.
1.
Know Your Guests
The
modern PMS enables your team to update and access critical guest information
at every touch point – so they can treat ever guest as an individual. Use
this data to engage guests by name, personalize relevant offers via push
notifications and campaigns, and use the data to enhance the guest’s next
stay. Your goal should always be to create memories. Memories that are
positive will bring guests back – and spending more.
2.
Timely, Automated Upsell
We
cannot stress enough the importance of upsell and cross-sell to increase
revenue for your property. But all too often, hotel front line staff miss
out on the opportunities that would lead to more sales. Enhanced automated
suggestion selling with upgrades and dynamic packages are built directly
into the modern PMS. Suggestion selling includes upgraded room types, early
or late check-ins/check-outs and add-ons presented via email before arrival
or at the time of check-in.
For
hotels with an average of 150 rooms, 60% occupancy, upsell revenue can
easily boost sales by $50,000 to 65,000 annually, which represents a small
percentage of three to five upsells per day.
3.
Profitable Decisions
With
robust reporting and mobile dashboards, a modern PMS will eliminate the
need to manually collaborate and exchange information to make better decisions
for your property and your guests. With easy anytime access to financials,
operations data, and guest information in real-time, hotel executives can
make better decisions.
Another
enhanced capability of the modern PMS is revenue and rate management. Using
data to identify trends, availability, rates and competitors, hotels can
optimize ADR and drive occupancy.
