Rivasa Hotels experienced a 10% increase in revenue with Hotelogix Cloud PMS

Rivasa hotels offer casual budget accommodation in Goa. They offer simple and down to earth space with colourful decor and excellent service. They are a technology-pro hotel group and they are always willing to adopt better technology for providing better service to their guests. However, they were facing a lot of issues with their existing on-premise PMS. And, it was impacting their business operations, revenue, and reputation. That is when they decided to explore the benefits of cloud technology.

Scenario and Challenges:

• Absence of real-time integration with external systems

  like Channel Manager, Reputation Management and other systems. This leads to delayed flow of data & information and also makes daily operations very tedious for hotel staff.

• Pulling out reports

  for each property was very time consuming and cumbersome.

• Absence of centralized monitoring

  or single point reporting of all properties from a single location.

• Loss of bookings, overbooking

  and issues of sold out dates leading to overall revenue loss.

• No real-time reports

  and instant monitoring causing delayed decision making.

To beat their challenges and to see visible improvements in operations, occupancy, and revenue, Rivasa hotels signed up with Hotelogix PMS for its 3 properties. But, after witnessing the instant results, soon they added all their properties within a year.

Hotelogix cloud PMS provides integration with other third-party tools like F&B POS, Accounting systems, and Channel Manager, etc. The Channel Manager integration has helped in tracking the bookings in real-time and therefore it has grown their revenue by 10%. Additionally, Rivasa hotels saw an 11% improvement in occupancy.Thanks to easy and seamless integration, Rivasa overcame the 'overbooking and 'sold out dates' issue also.

Their guest services improved directly because of customization and therefore there was an improvement on the guest reviews and online reputation as well. As an outcome of this, all the Rivasa properties are now centrally managed by a centrally located team.
