Leading solution providers in revenue and property management expand their partnership to deliver a flexible, secure and integrated cloud platform
MINNEAPOLIS, March 1, 2018 – Cloud technology and next-level integrations are accelerating the hospitality industry’s ability to access, store and leverage data across multiple systems. Since 2005, IDeaS Revenue Solutions, the leading provider of revenue management solutions (RMS) and consulting services, and protel hotelsoftware GmbH, innovative provider of on-site and cloud-based advanced property management systems (PMS), have jointly enabled hotels to drive efficiency and productivity through the integration of powerful solutions. This latest advancement provides a single integration to seamlessly connect between any of the best-of-breed-solutions offered by protel.I/O and IDeaS advanced RMS.
Available now, protel’s existing 14,000 hotel customers will be able to have direct, two-way access to IDeaS G3 RMS. This newly enhanced integration gives hotels ultimate flexibility to harness data insights and deliver next generation revenue strategy and optimize hotel profitability.
