What is the hotel PMS and what is it for?

The hotel PMS, or Property Management System, is an essential tool for the efficient management of a hotel. This system centralises all operations, from the management of reservations, check-ins and check-outs to billing, room allocation and control with reports.

How does the hotel management system help you to optimise your hotel?

By integrating various functions into a unified platform, the hotel PMS optimises operational efficiency, enhances the guest experience and enables managers to make informed decisions based on real-time data.

Reservation management:

It optimises the process, ensuring efficient availability management and avoiding overbooking.

Integrations with other specialised systems:

It connects with external systems focused on different management areas, such as CRS, RMS, CRM, accounting systems, payment gateways, locking programmes, etc.

Monitoring and reporting:

It offers advanced tools to monitor the performance of the establishment through detailed and customised reports.

Automations:

Reduce time spent on repetitive tasks by automating processes. Some allow the creation of automation rules.

System for all equipment in a property:

It provides a unified platform where team members can access information according to their permissions.

What distinguishes on-premise hotel PMS platforms from cloud platforms?

The On-Premise PMS is installed and operated on the hotel's local servers, which requires physical infrastructure, internal maintenance and reliance on technical staff for updates and security.

On the other hand, a cloud-based PMS is hosted on remote servers accessible via the internet, offering greater flexibility and scalability. This model allows access to the system from anywhere and at any time, with updates and security managed by the provider and facilitates integration with other systems.

How do I choose the hotel management system?

Today, it is crucial to opt for a solution that is 100% in the cloud and compatible with multiple devices. This ensures that you can access the system when and where you need it, facilitating remote management and operational flexibility.

The ability to create automation rules is essential to optimise processes and improve efficiency, reducing manual workload. In addition, a system that is intuitive and does not require extensive training ensures rapid adoption by the team, allowing all staff to adapt easily from the outset.

How do I implement a PMS in my hotel or hostel?

We recommend the following key steps:

1. Evaluation and selection of a cloud-based, multi-device compatible system with automation capabilities.
2. Implementation phaseincluding system configuration and customisation.
3. Data migrationThe information must be transferred correctly.

4. Training your team with short, practical training.
5. Conducting tests to adjust the system as necessary before launch.
6. Launch and use of the system to optimise the management of your property.

Is it necessary to mimic my hotel PMS with other systems?

The need to integrate your PMS with another system will depend on the size of your project and the additional services you offer besides hosting.

There are several integrations that benefit different operational areas. For example, if you manage a restaurant, having a POS will allow you to have an exhaustive control of sales. Likewise, if you are part of a large hotel chain, integrating the PMS with an ERP will help you manage financial control more efficiently.
