Their partnership has proven to be a game-changer for independent hotels, as they explored how the integration of Maestro PMS and IDeaS addresses key needs and maximizes revenues for hotels and resorts.
Maestro PMS and IDeaS have been working together for over a decade, developing an interface to integrate revenue management solutions with the Property Management System (PMS). This long-standing collaboration thrives due to shared values, excellent teamwork, and a mutual commitment to customer satisfaction. In 2019, a two-way interface was introduced, further solidifying their partnership.
The integration of Maestro PMS with IDeaS' automated decision solutions has brought significant benefits to various property types, including hotels, resorts, condo rentals, and conference centers with group-oriented rate requirements. This flexible solution caters to diverse customer bases, ensuring that revenue management needs are met across the board.
Customers consistently report improved efficiency as one of the integration's main advantages. By automating rate decisions based on real-time data from IDeaS' revenue management system, staff members save time while achieving increased revenue, improved occupancy rates, and better average daily rates (ADR). The integration empowers hotels to make data-driven decisions that drive their success.
Implementing this technology requires careful planning, coordination between the teams at Maestro and IDeaS, and ensuring accurate data integration. However, thanks to the strong working relationship between the two companies, clients can expect a seamless process that minimizes disruptions to their operations. The collaboration aims to make revenue management processes simple and effective for hotels of all sizes.
By embracing this integration, independent hotels can unlock their full revenue potential while delivering exceptional experiences to their guests. The collaboration between Maestro PMS and Ideas signifies a major milestone in the evolution of revenue management within the hospitality industry
TransForm provides hotels with an efficient and streamlined way of collecting payments by eliminating paper-based authorization forms. Instead, guests can make payments in real-time using a payment link sent via email or text message. This not only saves time for hotel staff but also provides a better guest experience as payments can be completed quickly and easily.
According to Cortlin Gillis, Sales Executive for B4CheckIn, one of the common pain points experienced by hotel guests is the need to undertake multiple tasks just to make a payment. He notes that TransForm solves this problem by providing guests with an easy-to-use platform that allows them to complete payments on their phones without having to fill out forms or send back authorization letters.
The Madison Concourse Hotel is one property that has benefited from TransForm's integration with Maestro PMS since 2009. Nattika Wattanasuttiwong, Director of Operations at the Madison Concourse Hotel, notes that before using TransForm, the hotel had been using third-party websites which required it to go through multiple steps before completing payments. However, since switching over to TransForm, she says everything has become seamless from sending requests to receiving payments.
Warren Dehan, President of Maestro PMS, acknowledges that partnerships like these are crucial as they allow hotels like Madison Concourse Hotel to access innovative technology solutions which they may not have discovered otherwise.
He notes that client feedback drives innovation at Maestro PMS resulting in improved services such as its chat support system which allows clients quick access via phone or online chat when they experience issues. Maestro PMS has been a longstanding leader in the hospitality industry. One of the key reasons for its success is its ability to listen to clients, adapt to new technology and provide seamless integration. The partnership withB4CheckIn and its TransForm payment platform is just one example of how Maestro PMS continues to innovate and improve operations while providing excellent customer service.
