What are the benefits of a Property Management System (PMS)
The benefits for a Property Management System (PMS) are vast and numbered for an accommodation provider because the need for automation is constantly increasing in our busy lives. As you know, accommodation providers are some of the busiest, with so much to organize in a single day. With the ability to change rates, check a guest in or out, connect to channels and have guests book directly through to your hotel via an integrated booking engine is a must.
Most property management systems (PMS) can be used by all types of accommodation providers, that utilize the ability to scale which for example, lets you add rooms and remove with a click of the mouse or a tap of the finger, giving you flexibility and adapatability.
Often a PMS will connect into a channel manager, or has an integrated channel manager. This will let you connect your rates, availability and property and room info to Online Travel Agents. Common examples of a Online Travel Agent is Booking.com, Expedia and Trivago.
There are also many other tools that are often provided by a Property Management System (PMS) - for example Seekom offers Automated Revenue Management - offering a calendar with 365 days of intelligent price recommendations – updated multiple times a day to optimize your occupancy and revenue. Another example of PMS Tools would be Google Hotel Ads - which we offer as a service add on here at Seekom. Google Hotel Ads allow you to market your property within Google above the OTA's to secure more direct bookings than ever before.
As you can see, the tools coupled with a Property Management System itself make for more revenue, exposure like you could never achieve without one, scalability and more. The benefits of a Property Management System (PMS) are endless for accommodation providers.
