Provides Unique Hotel - F&B Outlet Operating Efficiencies, Optimizes Guest Services and Customer Loyalty |
MARKHAM, ONTARIO - May 14, 2001- The difference between a point-of-sale interface and a true POS systems integration with a property-management system can be the difference between successful hotel operations and ones that lose revenue and miss guest service opportunities. �As the business climate becomes increasingly competitive, the unique real-time integration of our Maestro PMS and enterprise solutions with the SilverWare POS are fast becoming critical differentiators for hotel food-and-beverage and retail outlets,� said Warren Dehan, director of research and development for Markham-based Northwind. Dehan said Northwind�s PMS-POS systems integration collaboration with Forsys Corp., developer of the Windows-based SilverWare software/hardware solution, is helping hotels turn traditional operating challenges into significant and unique business opportunities. �Our experienced implementation teams have created a truly seamless PMS-POS integration that caters specifically to industry and individual-specific needs,� Dehan said. �By fully integrating Forsys� extensive silverware POS functionality with the myriad unique operational features of our world-class Maestro solutions, we have helped numerous hotels best position themselves for today�s competitive environment.� True integration enables the Maestro-SilverWare PMS-POS dynamic duo to provide properties with an array of critical competitive differentiators, including among others:
�PMS-POS systems integration does not have to be a hotels� Achilles� heel,� Dehan said. �With Maestro�s seamless tie-in to SilverWare, hotels can maximize employee productivity and guest satisfaction ? capturing significant operating cost efficiencies, while bolstering business and guest loyalty.� Dowsett said the Maestro-Silverware PMS-POS integration collaboration was driven largely by real-time client needs unmet elsewhere in the hospitality technology marketplace. �Many of our hotel customers expressed a real need for true PMS-POS integration, so we took it upon ourselves to work with Forsys to fully marry these leading-edge hospitality technology tools,� Dowsett said. �When valued lodging clients such as the Muskoka Sands Resort & Conference Centre come to us with the significant challenges and opportunities of truly integrating Maestro with POS systems at six remote outlets, we viewed this not only as an opportunity to strengthen our relationship with them, but also to pioneer true PMS-POS integration for all in hospitality.� �The true PMS-POS integration doesn�t stop at development,� Dowsett said. �Our unique collaboration with Forsys brings a plethora of experienced players to the table who serve as the client�s complete PMS-POS systems support team long after a sale and installation is made.� Markham, Ontario-based Northwind, Inc., is a leading global supplier of software and eCommerce solutions that satisfy the requirements of virtually any size hotel, resort, meeting/conference center or multi-property corporate headquarters.
