Hotelogix gets local representation in Caribbean, enhances its Channel Partner Network with Carbo Trust Trade Consultancy Ltd

HMS Infotech, makers of Hotelogix, the next-generation cloud-based system for managing small- and mid-size hospitality businesses, are pleased to announce Carbo Trust Trade Consultancy Ltd. as their business partner in Caribbean region to resell Hotelogix services.

Hotelogix is an enterprise grade system, designed to meet the needs of a 5 starred property and is positioned towards the small and Mid Sized Hotels and Resorts on a SaaS delivery model. Hotelogix covers the full spectrum of Hoteliering tasks, both in terms of streamlining the internal operations, and in enhancing your business reach to enable higher revenues & growth.

The Bath Hotel, on the island of Nevis, was the first official hotel to open in the Caribbean.The nearby hot springs, with their rumoured health benefits, were an obvious lure. The inviting climate of the Caribbean brought more tourists to the region in the 19th century.Some tourists preferred to admire the tropical sea away from the water’s edge.

After the introduction of the international airplane services, multinational organizations such as hotel chains and tour operators began to show serious interest in the region.Mass tourism became significant beginning in the 1980’s. Today, millions of tourists vacation in the Caribbean annually. Whether it is by plane or cruise, there is no decline in sight for tourism in the Caribbean. Even hurricanes and a series of recessions in the Western world appeared only to cause temporary blips on Caribbean tourism’s ever-rising growth rate.

Carbo Trust MD Bous says "On our search for a affordable Property Management System for one of our clients we tested the Hotelogix product and immediately recognized how user friendly and effective this PMS is. You often don’t realize that an owner of a small or medium property is required to do everything by him or herself, they are the gardener, bellboy, maintenance engineer, housekeeper, receptionist, night auditor and reservations agent in one person. With Hotelogix PMS, many of the logistical tasks that are part of reservations, confirmations, financials,check in, check out and auditing are automated and creating an efficiency that is out of this world. The system is affordable. multilingual and very suitable for most of the properties in the Caribbean region. The folks of Hotelogix are pleasant to work with and real professionals” We are thankful that Hotelogix has appointed Carbo TTC Ltd as their authorized reseller and we look forward in doing business with them”.

ABOUT CARBO TRUST TRADE CONSULTANCY LTD.

Carbo Trust Trade Consultancy Ltd. is a multidisciplinary and result oriented advisory service dealing with strategy, marketing, business organization, interim management, change- and project management in the hospitality industry.

The strength of Carbo TTC lies in the combination of consultancy services and the management of change. 

To make things visible and open things up for discussion as well as support the directors/owners of small and midsize companies with practical solutions. Our target is to get our clients better structured, to let them become more time efficient and most important of all to realize a better return on investment. The engine driving Carbo is its director, Mr Boudewijn Scholts (The Hague, Netherlands, December 9, 1961). Boudewijn is called Bous by his friends and family, a name that is a little more marketable internationally than Boudewijn which is much harder to pronounce for foreigners. Bous is a man of action. When he turned 19, he accepted a job as project coordinator for the Middle East for a Dutch company, specializing in intensive cattle rearing. After three years on the job with regular visits to the Middle East, Bous changed tracks to a more commercial function with a financial advice bureau. 

In 1987, Bous struck out on his own and in 1992, Carbo Trust Trade Consultancy NV was founded on the Caribbean island Bonaire (part of the Dutch Caribbean). Bous’ speciality is in the tourism sector. He handled the contacts with the travel sector in the USA, Europe and Latin America on behalf of a number of hotels in the Caribbean that belonged to the well-known Dutch Van der Valk hotel group, for more than 14 years. He got the necessary experience as interim manager tour operating for one of the Netherlands leading tour operators into the Caribbean. Bous acquired managerial experience when he served as board member of various organizations and as chairman of the Bonaire Hotel & Tourism Association. 

Carbo TTC is happy with the appointment of Mrs. Bianca Schaff as account executive. Bianca Schaff was born in 1973 and grew up in southern Germany. She studied at the Munich University of Applied Sciences in Munich Business Administration and focused on Tourism Management. She travelled the world and found her second home in Latin America where she gained experience in different functions in the Hotel business. 

After returning home to Germany she started to work for the island of Curaçao as a Marketing representative for German Speaking market, Italy and Scandinavia. After a few years she moved to Curaçao and later on to Trinidad & Tobago. After 4 years of living in the Caribbean, the Curaçao Tourist Board reopened its office in Germany and Bianca was put in charge to market the Dutch Caribbean island in the German speaking market. Within these three years she increased the visitors out of her market by 23%. In July 2009 Bianca moved back to sunny Curacao to manage a small resort in Westpunt where she is still enjoying this challenge. Knowing Bous for years she joined Carbo TTC in 2011 to share the knowledge of how to successfully operate small hotel businesses in the Caribbean. Bous is a strategist who loves analysing and interpreting numbers. He is happy to share his knowledge with his clients.
