The Why & the How at Hospitality Net Solutions
"At HNS we are all from the Hospitality Industry, and have identified from our day to day experience that the single most important factor and often biggest obstacle in Hotels nowadays is the coherent real time flow of data, which, is in fact crucial to survival and prosperity.
Why „Real Time“? And what does this really mean?
- With dynamic pricing, distribution over multiple channels, the importance of the Internet, GDS, ADS and IDS, where prices are changing on a second to second basis 24/7 & 365 days a year, a room sold for Euro 30,-- more, or a room remaining unsold for a difference of Euro Cents 0.50-- are the hard facts of the hotel business today.
- What does one hotel room sold over the one or the other channel really mean in revenue, commissions, transaction costs, and how does this effect the bottom line?
- Under "Real time" we mean, give Hotels the possibility to maximise revenue and save costs and operate in an environment where they know what is happening all the time, and can be pro active and base all decisions on reality not just gut feelings...however important gut feelings are. Avoid having to explain afterwards why things happened and ran out of control.
- A major strength and corner stone of Hospitality Net Solutions is the creation of this clear solid picture, and the applications to react and fine tune, whether related to distribution of rooms, or controlling costs.
A second huge advantage of HNS is the people, all from the Hotel Industry, having together probably worked for every major Hotel Chain or corporation in Europe.
Thirdly and perhaps most important: There are a great number of fantastic applications on the market, for revenue management, fabulous PMS's, and the list goes on. But because every single action in the Hotel business is connected, all applications have to work together seamlessly. HNS is PMS neutral, that means we are happy to work with all leading PMS's, infact we also happy to work with chains with multiple PMS suppliers, for us it's no problem to aggregate information efficiently.“
