I have been working with a sideline project company lately and have dedicated alot of my time to the hotel software industry. The company I am working with is a 6 year fast growing company momentohs® which is a Hotel Management Systems company and they have in the recent year expanded into Thailand and are in desperate need in getting themselves up to speed with high sales targets in Asia, particularly in Thailand.
Micros who run Opera Fidelio and other smaller Hotel Management Systems that have been around for quite a few years lack certain capabilities that momentohs® offers, and I feel confident I can help grow this company in the Thailand region. Recently we have been able to get Centara on board with a few sites in Thailand and regions such as Phuket and Udon Thani.
We have implemented the system also in the Hotel at BelAir Panwa, Phuket and Solo Sukhumvit 2. We are also talking with Amari group and other various chains which are serious about getting our software implemented for future projects.
Hotel Management Systems which are not only controlled by a booking engine but also controlled by a front end and back end for handling rooms and food and beverage, spa and much more is the key success in having a successful system. Problems with Opera these days is the front end do not work properly with the back end.
The great thing about momentohs® it has all of what Opera has but more and is very simple to use. It also is much more friendlier in the sense that you do not need to export files back and forth which is the case with Opera. And instead of having multiple servers which Opera has, instead momentohs® is controlled by 1 server even if you have multiple hotels, you run it from just one location.
It also runs on a SQL server, not on an Oracle server which is the case with Opera, which makes it much more cost effective for server licenses and so forth.
If you have left your hotel room on a certain temperature when you come back after few hours your room will be climatised according to the control by the system and will save costs. If your sons birthday is around the corner during your stay in the hotel, the system will record this information, and allow your son to have the 5 star experience you deserve. With Opera it can not record birth dates past the first 2 people of a group that have checked in. With momentohs® it is this and much more that gets you the 5 star experience any high paying customer should expect.
The momentohs® system is really catered towards 3 and a half star to 5 star. It offers 3 main versions, momentohs® enterprise, momentohs® sprint, and momentohs® entree.
Because this product is for a a selective audience, it needs the finest in marketing efforts in order to get the word across to the right people and I find that I am doing well at just that!
If anyone has experience with Hotel Management Systems and would like to leave any comments please do so, I would be more then happy to discuss differences and any other information that is of interest.
