12 FHA2018 SHOWDAILY 2 6 A p ri l 2 0 1 8 Oasis PMS smoothes hospitality processes WHEN you check into, or out of, a vast number of hotels in the Holiday Inn Express or the Dusit Thani chain of hotels, you may be blissfully unaware that the smooth check-in and check-out procedures have been aided by programmes designed by Oasis Hospitality Software (booth 4J2-14). “Our Oasis Cloud PMS (prop- erty management system) is used by full-service hotels, boutique hotels, airport transit hotels and serviced apartments,” says John Chan, sales director of Oasis Hospitality Software (OHS). “For example, Accor Hotels in Asia are installing our point- of-sale with their own PMS systems.” Chan feels that it has been the company’s willingness to customise its product offering and its belief in realistic pricing which have led to long-term part- nerships. “These are the attrib- utes that have taken a relatively small company like OHS to great heights,” he says. The standard programmes redlips_FHA2018_v1.indd 2 available include Sabre Syn- Xis, WindSurfer IBE Internet Booking Engine (hourly and daily), Guest Mobile, Kiosk, POS CAPEX, OPEX and Private Label Models. But OHS works closely with clients to customise the programme to suit their re- quirements. “Our Oasis PMS offers day- to-day hotel functions, plus the Guest Digital Experience which is designed to attract returning guests to book at the hotel cor- porate website, and not at a travel agent’s site,” says Chan. “Direct booking guests can either look for a vacant clean room to check-in on their arrival day, select and check in any time without making payment, and make no phone call to the πhotel requesting for an early check-in. Such direct booking guests can thus become more productive with time.” OHS also provides the Guest Express Check-out option to sort out formalities from their mobile phones with confidence before check-out, checking folio balance or freezing amount payable. The folio can be sent via email to con- firm payment. “We design software and hard- ware for kiosks that sit in a hotel’s lobby,” says Chan. “And then, there is our highly successful serviced apartment module that allows the automatic setting of a weekly, monthly or yearly rate, at the same time indicating a flex- ible billing cycle by week, month or year.” The company provides an additional selection to meet the requirements of corporate guests of monthly billings on a particular day of the month or at month- end. “Our software can also provide specific reports based on area per square metre,” says Chan. “We can also provide a flexible lease table for long stays, with auto rounding and split service charge or housekeeping cost.” All these attributes have earned OHS contracts to provide hospitality software to the Accor Group of properties — Sofitel, Novotel, Mercure and Ibis hotels. John Chan, sales director of Oasis Hospitality Software: “Our software can also provide specific reports based on area per square metre.” Consumer loyalty is in flux due to new technol- ogy and changing consumer values. It is increas- ingly vital to view loyalty as part of the overall customer experience framework that builds a long-lasting customer relationship. — Ivan Uzunov, Research Manager, Euromonitor International 27/3/18 3:04 PM
