Time-sensitive Intelligence for Hotel Revenue Managers

When the VP of Revenue Management of a boutique hotel group wanted her revenue managers focus on rate strategy decisions, instead of struggling to create intricate booking pace reports every morning, she called their CIO. The CIO was already concerned about users exporting large amounts of data from operational database. It was resulting in degradation in system performance, employee efficiency and guest experience. He reached out to IQubz, Microsoft BI partner, for a Hospitality Business Intelligence solution with hotel dashboards, reports and analytics. The goal was to deliver accurate information consistently, whether property-specific to property managers or consolidated to area managers. With a highly perishable nature of room inventory, it was critical to deliver the results on time, leaving adequate time to act upon the intelligence gained. The main challenge was to process large amount of data for all properties, and deliver results on-time, every day. To add to that, all hotels were on a path to property management system (PMS) migration from Epitome to Micros Opera. This presented yet another challenge to integrate seamlessly with two systems with a quick turnaround.

With easy-to-navigate KPI dashboards, comprehensive scorecards, and familiar analysis tools, Hospitality Business Intelligence, built on Microsoft BI helps plan, monitor and act with improved insights to optimize revenue, reduce costs, reward loyal guests, maintain high quality of guest service and gain competitive advantage.
