Hastings Hotels Group Implement EzRMS™ Throughout Property Portfolio
Belfast - 31 January 2003Hastings Hotels Group, Northern Ireland’s premier hotel chain, recently announced their decision to implement the EzRMS™ Core Module, Ez-REGION™ Regional Management and Ez-QUOTE™ Deal Quotation Modules throughout their six-strong property portfolio – becoming the first clients of EasyRMS in the Northern Irish territory.
Mr Howard Hastings, Managing Director of the group, based his decision on several key factors – including the unique ASP approach of EasyRMS and the advanced functionality that such a solution delivers to a privately owned chain. “Northern Ireland, and especially Belfast, is an extremely demanding market place, with new hotel openings adding constantly to the competitive environment” states Mr. Hastings.
“It has been a challenging experience to find a Revenue Management supplier who understands the philosophy and business practise within our territory – it is not always about advanced algorithms and mathematics. As far as I can gather from our own extensive research, the main RM vendors today utilise almost identical tried and tested algorithms behind their forecasting and optimisation models. What really counts in the ‘real world’ is how these advanced decision tools can be utilised within the daily operation of a busy working hotel property – EzRMS™ is a delightfully simple and logical product which both the Management and day-to-day User Groups of Hastings Hotels are extremely excited to embrace within our daily operations .”
Ms Jane Pendlebury, European Sales Director for EasyRMS is once again delighted by the ‘hype’ and excitement being generated from the EzRMS™ Suite of Internet Products.“The Hastings contract is the result of my very first sales trip to Northern Ireland – a trip that I am greatly looking forward to repeating in the coming weeks! The addition of yet another prestigious chain to the EasyRMS client portfolio is proof enough of the market positioning of our ASP solution and the slowly increasing penetration rates of Revenue Management applications within the hospitality sector”.
