Nashville, TN � February 18, 2009. Nashville-based Uniguest� and Ohio-based Com-Net Software announced today a strategic alliance that will provide hotel travelers with next generation flight stats. �Having quick, real-time flight departure information can save hotel guests from missing flights and being stuck at the airport for hours,� said Shawn Thomas, CEO of Uniguest�. �We sought the most accurate data available to integrate into our line of information/Internet kiosks and Com-Net was the easy choice as the recognized leader in their field.� Real-time flight information is one of many requested amenities from hotel guests, especially for airport hotels. �Providing guests with real-time departure information can mean the possibility of additional room nights sold or increased food and beverage revenues�, said Troy Carver, Assistant General Manager of The Nashville Airport Marriott. �In today�s economy, most hotelier�s budgets cannot support purchasing stand-alone flight displays that can cost as much as $3,500 upfront and fees of $300 or more per month from most suppliers. That is where Uniguest�s Concierge Station� brings value and a lower total cost of ownership�, Troy continues. �We created a custom application that can feed real-time flight data directly into Uniguest�s Concierge Station�, eliminating the need for hoteliers to purchase additional equipment,� states Chance Fultz, Com-Net Senior VP Sales/Marketing. �Com-Net provides information display systems for airports, airlines and mass transit in the US and (other places). It was a natural fit for us to provide Uniguest� with this data in a way that increases value for Uniguest�s customers and minimizes total cost of ownership.� The Concierge Station� by Uniguest� is a powerful Internet kiosk that provides industry-standard business center applications, Internet access, printing, customized local information for restaurants and attractions, and now, real-time flight information powered by Com-Net. Hoteliers seeking to reduce operating expenses are turning to Uniguest�s Concierge Station� to meet their business center or LobbyPC needs as well as provide their guests with needed local information and real-time flight data all in one application.
