RMS: Accommodating Hospitality Sector With Comprehensive Software Solutions

CIO Vendor Though there are lower-end properties struggling to attract guests with a range of components such as low room rates, poor marketing and bad location, the Indian hotel industry in general is in a good condition. According to the research from STR and Horwath HTL, occupancy rates in the organized market are at highest since the Global Financial Crisis. The cloud-based hotel software solutions blessed the hospitality industry with an edge to undergo transformation in the last decade. It enables the hoteliers to be equipped with a property management system, PMS, which can be hosted from remote locations using an internet connection.

The Indian hotel industry is incredibly competitive and cost-conscious. The technology providers offer their customers a cloud-based system on the SaaS pricing model, which eliminates the need for excessive upfront costs and cumbersome hardware.
