Previo and RoomRaiser Integration: Connecting Hotel PMS and RMS

Discover the benefits of cloud-based hotel management systems and using a PMS and RMS together!

In recent years, cloud-based IT services have become increasingly popular among small and medium-sized businesses, and the hospitality industry is no exception.

Many small and medium-sized hotels choose a cloud-based Hotel PMS (Property Management System) instead of traditional systems installed on site, and using these systems offers many benefits.

Let us review the most important benefits of modern hotel management systems!

Cloud-based Hotel PMS = mobility

Traditional/on-premises PMS systems run on the hotel’s own network or on certain computers, so users can manage reservations, update room availability, and carry out any other essential task only when they are at the property.

Cloud-based PMS systems, by contrast, allow hotel staff to access the system from anywhere as long as they have an internet connection.

Easier integration

If a hotel uses an RMS (Revenue Management System), for example, it can be connected to the PMS so that room rates are updated automatically and immediately according to occupancy and demand. This integration can also help streamline other processes, such as invoicing and accounting, because the hotel’s financial records can also be updated automatically.

An open system that is remotely accessible and integrates well with other services also provides many more opportunities and greater flexibility when customising the hotel’s technology solutions.

As mentioned above, RoomRaiser’s automated RMS service now works in integration with the Previo PMS, so every hotel using Previo can enjoy—and benefit from—the advantages offered by well-functioning modern PMS and RMS solutions.

The benefits of Revenue Management systems for hotels

Our cloud-based RMS software was designed to help small and medium-sized hotels optimise prices and revenue. Users can determine the optimal rates for their rooms based on many factors, including occupancy, demand, and market trends. Thanks to the pricing provided by the system, hotels sell their rooms at the most suitable price and time, which not only increases revenue but also saves valuable working hours.

By using our software together with a cloud-based PMS, hotels can automate many revenue management tasks, such as:

• setting prices,

• managing room inventory

• forecasting demand.

All this not only saves human working hours but also helps reduce the risk of errors and ensures that the hotel always sells its rooms at the optimal price.

Among the other significant benefits of switching to a cloud-based PMS and revenue management system, the following must certainly be mentioned:

• reduced IT development and operating costs: expensive hardware and software installations become unnecessary. Apart from custom requirements, most system-related updates become available free of charge and automatically.

• scalability: cloud-based systems can easily adapt to a growing business without requiring significant infrastructure changes.

• learning and development: by switching to a new PMS system, hotel professionals can gain deeper and more comprehensive knowledge of the IT solutions available on the market and of newly introduced systems. Changing PMS—roughly every five years—can help hotels stay up to date with the latest technologies and trends. By keeping users more open-minded and current, this can lead to better-informed decisions and better services. By contrast, using a rigid, outdated system can make the entire process routine and shut out innovation.

Introducing a new Hotel PMS and RMS at the same time

By introducing a cloud-based Hotel PMS and RMS at the same time, hotels can take advantage of the latest technology, while seamless communication between the two systems can also be implemented more easily. Introducing the systems in parallel can also help streamline operations and reduce costs, while automatically updating room rates and occupancy according to demand significantly reduces the need for manual intervention and therefore saves human resources.

Introducing the two systems at the same time can also provide greater flexibility and more opportunities for customisation. The openness and integration capabilities of cloud-based systems give users greater freedom to choose the systems that suit them best and ensure that they all communicate effectively with one another. All this helps hotels adapt to changing market conditions and customer needs and helps make their technology solutions future-proof.

Summary

In summary, using a cloud-based PMS and RMS offers many benefits to small and medium-sized hotels:

• They offer greater flexibility, accessibility, and integration with other technologies, which can help streamline processes and increase revenue.

• Switching to a cloud-based PMS and RMS can also reduce IT costs and provide a deeper understanding of technology systems. Hotels that want to streamline their operations and optimise their revenue should therefore consider making the switch.

• By choosing a comprehensive IT solution that includes both a cloud-based PMS and RMS, hotels can take advantage of the latest technologies and keep pace—or gain an advantage—in an increasingly competitive market.

Using Previo and RoomRaiser together is an excellent way for your property to realise all the benefits listed above!
