The software senses the face of the individual and authenticates it with the proof identification shown by the individual. The software has huge amount of data stored inside it, this makes the check in procedure easier for the hotel. The software recognizes the faces of the individual accurately, research shows that the software so far has an accuracy of 99.8%.

There are some companies that are working on a new products that would allow guests to simply wave their room key on the POS system and the system will register their room key information versus charging to manually to the room with just the room number.

    The article "The Software Algorithm That Turns Hotel 'Lookers' Into 'Bookers'" poses questions about the pricing algorithms in the airline and hotel industry. It then introduces and explains the Software developed by Bruno Perez and Jean Francois Mourier called REVPAR GURU. In essence, the Software is a revenue management system that analyzes data points online and internal factors within the company to provide suggested price-points to maximize profit. I believe that this Software simplifies the job of the revenue manager because with the Software they no longer have to agonize over data about reaching capacity at the highest room rate, they now focus on the data given by the Software and its suggested prices. The idea for the Software stemmed from the fact that we are going through a shift from offline to online in our society and more and more people are now doing their bookings online. I believe that this Software has the right idea and is available at the right time during the shift to online. As more and more companies adapt, adjust, and use the online world, this program will continue to succeed.

This article helps me better understand improvements in operations that cloud-based software system brings in event management. I am also able to explore the vast field of using software technology. Before reading this article, I was not aware of the benefits of the cloud-based software system in event management. Now, I gained a better knowledge about advantages like accuracy of data for large events, to real-time tracking needs to manage ticket sales and event attendance, and permanent connection and access to various files and records. Such access is vital when an event manager is in charge of multiple events that are at different stages of preparation: some may be in planning stage and others may be in execution stage. The ability to fix errors quickly is a major benefit for event planners that are small businesses. For this reason, an individual wedding planner will probably have peace of mind by using such software.

It helps to analyze both the pros and the cons of software like this as well as what it takes from your company in order for it to work. It points out that without someone who understands programming your company is going to have a very hard time running this software and getting it set up. Overall, I agree with the articles viewpoint on a companies size playing a major deciding factor. A company should only invest in this costly software if they take part in large scale or consistent events that need the software. Before jumping into a software a company can try many of the online simple tools and figure out what they need from a software.

  • Pushes software companies to consistently earn customer loyalty with innovation and great service
  • No discussion of cloud computing in the hotel industry would be complete without mentioning Cloudbeds, the first property management system startup in years to serve 1 million beds with its software.
  • Hotels that use Cloudbeds log into it directly in a web browser like Internet Explorer or Chrome. This is a big advantage for hotels because you can access the application on any device.
  • When a system is cloud-based, it can innovate faster because changes can take effect immediately.
  • Implementing cloud-based software can make your operations more efficient, save time for your employees, and create more positive guest experiences.
  • Another reason for Cloudbeds’ rapid growth is that their software can easily integrate with other tools. Cloudbeds has an extensive marketplace of integration partners, including Whistle, TrustYou, and Oaky, that it can connect to via an API. Because everything is located in the cloud, a hotel doesn’t need to download any programs or plug-ins to add a new integration. These add-ons can offer upgrades and analyze reviews, among other things, so you can improve guest service and even earn incremental revenue.

  • One of the biggest misconceptions about cloud computing is that files and applications don’t live on physical storage servers.
  • AWS tends to be more scalable for fast growing applications but as end users your guests won’t notice the difference so it’s really a matter of preference.
  • If you’ve ever edited a Google Doc or uploaded files to Dropbox, then you’ve leveraged cloud computing.
  • If you use Microsoft Office, you might create a PowerPoint on your laptop (local storage), but when you save the file, it gets uploaded to your Microsoft OneDrive, which is housed in the cloud.
  • Benefits of Cloud Computing
  • lower switching costs for buyer
  • you can sign on securely via any web browser - even if you’re off-site.
  • t the same time, users can submit feedback to Cloudbeds about any bugs or glitches, which the Cloudbeds team can resolve quickly.

  • Secondly, they enable you to provide guests with the convenience and seamless experience they expect, even before they step into the hotel reception. Armed with a cloud-based system, you can give your guests the convenience they now expect from a hotel stay, such as booking rooms on their mobile phones or accessing their room from an app, to name a few examples.
  • with traditional hotel management software, adding and removing resources is difficult and hoteliers are essentially stuck with one system until the license expiry date. You’re in a contract, with very little wiggle room.
  • Cloud-based software gives hoteliers a hotel management system that facilitates rather than restricts business operations. Unlike their on-site predecessors, cloud-based hotel management systems are entirely scalable – they have an unlimited capacity to expand. They give hoteliers the agility and freedom to add or remove resources in line with their growth and scale their hotel management systems to the services they offer.
  • One of the biggest strengths of a cloud-based hotel management system is that it can be easily connected to other software applications, even if these applications don’t share the same provider.For hoteliers, this capacity and the possibilities that it brings are revolutionary. They now have limitless flexibility to work with the vendors of their choice and can bundle applications together thereby creating a truly customized management suite that meets their needs.
  • Cloud-based technology gives hoteliers the key to run smart businesses that are in tune with modern-day travelers, and more profitable.

    This article speaks on how cloud systems are changing the hospitality system in a BIG way. Listed below, are how it is doing so successfully: Due to Cloud-based applications being offered by a vendor, there is no expensive hardware to install which makes it a reoccurring system for smaller hotels to be able to use such an advanced system. They allow guests to maneuver through their stay stress-free and giving them the convenience of not having to go down to the front desk to ask questions or make any food orders and these cloud systems record their behavior which allows the hotels to give them suggestions on where to go, what spa treatments to get and of course, what food to order. It also allows hotels to integrate software with various vendors unlike the traditional ones being used. With this, hoteliers can now have a customized management suite to meet all of their needs.

    Cloud computing software basically allows hotels to build their own IT infrastructure. Cloud computing is expanding in the trends of hospitality software allowing hotelier to operate their hotel management system with just a computer and a web browser wherever they are on real time. In addition one of the main advantage is the ability to integrate other vendor's software into their own opening a seeming less opportunity to work with whoever they desire. Cloud computing allows a cost reduction on the IT department as well as a better connectivity with guest demands and expectations.

  • Attendee Engagement
  • Extra tools 
  • Pricing
  • 1. Eventbrite
  • Pros: Eventbrite is a software that is commonly used across industries. It’s a good choice for a small social event or party as well.
  • Cons: This software may be good for event registration but lacks attendee engagement functionalities. The fee has also been steadily increasing. 
  • 2. Whova
  • Pros: Whova has almost the lowest per-ticket price in the industry, capped at $5, so it is a great option for higher ticket prices. It also offers a suite of features that significantly boost attendee participation and interactions through the event app. Two birds, one stone (read more: save money on event registration tool & double audience participation).
  • Cons: If you expect fewer than 50 attendees, or if your event is a wedding or party, Whova may not be a good fit.
  • 3. Xing Events
  • Pros: This event registration tool may be a good option especially for European events. It is a robust software for large enterprise-level conferences and trade fairs.
  • Cons: It offers an app for event check-in, but similar to other traditional brands, its strength may not be in offering modern mobile technology for audience engagement and attendee networking.
  • 4. Brown Paper Tickets
  • Pros: They work well with charity events, performances, and various non-profit / school events.
  • Cons: This software may not be a great choice for mid- or large-scale conferences, and some customers have complained that the reporting is not very robust.
  • 5. Wild Apricot
  • Pros:  It may be affordable for a small community’s regular gatherings. It has various pricing options for different types and sizes of organizations. It is integrated with Whova all-in-one attendee engagement and logistic management system, so you can easily sync your registrant information with Whova.
  • Cons: If you only have an annual event and do not need to manage membership, it may not be a good fit for you.
  • 6. Ticketleap
  • Pros: This event registration software is simple to use and works well with relatively small events and performances.
  • Cons: It doesn’t offer the complex organizational tools of conference registration software, so it might not be a good fit for large, multi-day, multi-track conferences.
  • 7. Constant Contact
  • Pros: Constant Contact easily integrates with other systems (e.g. Whova, Eventbrite) so you can build invitations and registration into your email marketing campaigns.
  • Cons: This is an unnecessary solution if you don’t intend to send many emails to your contacts, as you will still need to be an Eventbrite customer to use the registration feature.
