Loews Hotels at Universal Orlando Realizes Significant
Labor Savings by Installing Decisions Data Warehouse
from Datavision Technologies
 

Weston, FL - November, 2002 - Loews Hotels at Universal Orlando deployed Decisions Business Intelligence System from Datavision Technologies, Inc. in their three properties: Portofino Bay Hotel, Hard Rock Hotel, and Royal Pacific Resort. Loews installed the Decisions Night Audit Module and have already seen significant labor savings in the accounting department.  �The ROI on the system was immediate�, says Darrin Pinkham, CTO/Director of Technology. �Decisions has enabled the three resorts to automatically consolidate data from their Hotel Information Systems PMS and the Aloha POS into a single data warehouse, completely eliminating the need for any manual data entry from the operations or day audit staff.�

Decisions automatically extracts a variety of information from the PMS such as posted transactions, occupancy and revenues by market segmentation, booking source, guest geographic origin, etc. In addition, detailed information such as revenues, covers, settlements, etc are extracted from the Aloha POS.  All this data is then presented in various Excel spreadsheets, allowing the accounting staff to virtually eliminate manual data entry and streamline the audit process. Since data from all three properties is housed in a single master data warehouse, the system allows the accounting team to effortlessly reconcile cross property postings and perform multi property consolidations. 

Sudharshan Chary, President of Datavision, states: �We are honored to welcome Loews Hotels at Universal Orlando to join the growing list of resorts using Decisions to streamline their night audit process. �
