To accommodate a major event that brings a big economic boom to the region – such as the upcoming F1 Races in Singapore hoteliers need to effectively and purposefully scale operations. Such popular events are an opportunity for hoteliers to deliver high return hospitality! However, what will make your hotel or brand, the go-to choice for sporting event fans? Well first it’s all about convenience of hotel booking, and here again comes in the role of hotel software, that means a good Property Management System (PMS).
Property Management System (PMS)
Hotel technology that delivers on time, in real-time and repeatedly. Technology that utilises AI to determine guests needs even before they speak out, or in this case as they start looking to book hotels for the perfect Formula 1 experience. Agilysys Versa is a comprehensive property management suite that offers a wide range of features and functionality, including reservations management, front office operations, housekeeping, digital room keys, and more.
Commission-free Online Booking: It’s easy to book a single room or multiple rooms at once with an appealing presentation of all the choices and amenities that guests want. Agilysys Book shows real-time availability to help drive that incremental revenue.
Secure document scanning and storage: Integration with the Agilysys DataMagine document management system enables scanned licenses and passports to be archived and linked to guest IDs in Versa. This allows for guest profiles to be automatically updated.
The sales & catering system is fully integrated, leveraging the PMS database to deliver real-time information between the front office and sales teams. A shared database supports centralized guest histories, multi-property reporting, travel agent management and seamless back-office accounting. Unique to Versa, each property can adapt the software to meet their needs; customizable fields are created by individual locations for tracking the information that’s most important to them. Also, Agilysys Versa integrates with other Agilysys solutions as well.
Additionally, during major events that bring about price surges, ensuring a seamless guest experience is even more critical and couldn’t be done without the right tech.
