BOCA RATON, Fla. � May 27, 2008 � Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a
leading provider of innovative information technology and hospitality software
solutions, announced today that Kilronan Castle, one of Ireland�s most
luxurious five-star hotels, has selected a comprehensive Visual One suite
of products by Agilysys to streamline operations at the property. Kilronan
Castle�s sister hotel, Lough Rynn, has used the Visual One suite for several
years.
�We chose the Visual One suite because it is both efficient and user-friendly,�
said Michelle Coghlan, resident manager at Kilronan Castle. �We have had
a very good experience with the software at our sister property. The Visual
One property management system by Agilysys, in particular, provides more
reports than many other systems, and everything is tightly integrated so
that operations run smoothly. The system also will enhance guest service
by enabling the hotel to keep an accurate and up-to-date log of guest requests
and preferences and build a database for mailings and other marketing campaigns.�
Kilronan Castle is implementing the following Visual One solutions:
-
Visual One Property Management System, a complete property management
solution that offers a wide range of features and functionality, including
front office operations, guest history, housekeeping, reservations management
and more.
-
Visual One Point-of-Sale (POS) System, a made-for-hospitality POS
solution that is both touch-screen and barcode controlled. It will be used
for spa charges at Kilronan Castle.
-
Visual One Sales & Catering System, a powerful and flexible
software system that manages meeting room and banquet operations.
-
Visual One Spa Management System, a feature-rich spa management
solution that will enable Kilronan Castle to keep track of employee work
schedules and commission levels and send e-mail appointment confirmations
to guests.
�Kilronan Castle is a landmark property, and we are delighted to add it
to our growing roster of customers in Ireland and the United Kingdom,�
said Tina Stehle, senior vice president and general manager of Agilysys
Hospitality Solutions. �Visual One�s integrated solutions, combining property
management, point-of-sale, spa management and sales & catering, will
boost efficiency and reduce costs, while complementing the hotel�s efforts
to provide an impeccable guest experience.�
One of Ireland�s most luxurious five-star hotels, Kilronan Castle is
one of only a few Irish estates that can trace its history back to royal
families. Located in Ballyfarnon, the Roscommon County castle is majestically
situated on the shores of Lough Meelagh, surrounded by more than 40 acres
of lush green pastures, ancient forests and historical points of interest.
The hotel includes 84 uniquely decorated rooms and suites, a conference
and banqueting center, a fine dining restaurant and bar. A luxury spa will
be completed in September 2008; and a Nick Faldo-designed golf course in
2009. Kilronan Castle is owned by the Hanly Group.
