Ez-YIELD™ will enable the hotel to automatically upload all of their reservations controls from EzRMS™ into their websites – a time-saving operation which will ensure a single up-to-date image of inventory across the hotel’s Internet booking channels. The Crowne Plaza, Marlow will be interfacing EzRMS™ to Fidelio’s Opera Property Management System, the first property in Europe to utilise this latest technological breakthrough.

Mr Alan Thomas, General Manager at the Crowne Plaza in Marlow says “We are delighted to be installing EzRMS™ at the hotel. We have been carefully watching the results of the installation at our sister hotel in Hammersmith, and it was an easy decision to follow their example at this hotel and ensure that EzRMS™ becomes a BDL standard. During the decision making process, we took the opportunity to review some of the other revenue management solutions available but remain convinced that EasyRMS have one of the most powerful and value for money systems available in the market today.”

Jane Pendlebury, European Sales Director for EasyRMS is enthusiastic about adding this prestigious hotel to the ever-growing list of EasyRMS clients. “The Crowne Plaza at Marlow near Windsor is an impressive hotel with a strong management team. I have no doubt that EzRMS™ will prove to be an invaluable support tool to the hotel, and enable them to quickly increase both yield and profitability. We look forward to rolling out EzRMS™ to the whole BDL Estate and enabling centralised reporting through the Ez-REGION™ Regional Management Module.”
