First-of-its-kind program offered by a cloud PMS provider is enabling small- and mid-sized hotels to operate their Business via Hotelogix's new "Freemium" program

[SAN JOSE, CALIF. – NOVEMBER 11, 2014] – Independent hotels and small- to medium-sized group properties can now enjoy the benefits of a cloud-based property-management system from Hotelogix at no cost. Through its new "Freemium" program, Hotelogix will give one user license of its premium cloud-based PMS to any hotel owner wishing to experience a simplified, yet robust system in a SaaS environment. The company raised venture capital from Accel Partners and Saama Capital to support this initiative.

Hotelogix is the only cloud PMS currently used in 75 countries. It is the world's easiest PMS to get started with, as it takes a property to the cloud in just minutes. The Freemium package provides one user with access to front desk, an integrated booking engine for hotel website, unlimited POS for restaurants and spa, housekeeping, and user reports. Each user will enjoy data security of the highest standards with reliable cloud servers for uninterrupted service, safety for their data backed-up continuously, and ready access to 24/7 support provided by in-house hospitality experts.

According to the 2014 Lodging Technology Study, 40.4 percent of hoteliers planned to take their on-property solutions to the cloud this year, with the industry investing heavily in property-management technology. The study shows that not only are hoteliers exploring cloud-based systems, but 41 percent will migrate to an above property PMS in 2015.

"We are proud to be pioneering this first-of-its-kind initiative by any cloud PMS provider," said Aditya Sanghi, Hotelogix CEO. "The infused funding will be used to aggressively create awareness and drive adoption of cloud PMS technology. It will also enable us to aggressively market and support the Freemium initiative, increasing our user base and giving small hotels the opportunity to adopt our technology. Once hoteliers experience this cloud PMS, we believe they won't want to operate any other way."

Prabhash Bhatnagar, Hotelogix Founder, said this SaaS solution was developed out of a need for a comprehensive system on the cloud that is simple to use. "Hotelogix has been focusing on simplifying the PMS workflows since its inception in 2008," he said. "We pioneer in giving hotels the experience of a cloud system within minutes.

"Simplicity of Hotelogix makes for short learning curves for staff who become productive on day one," Bhatnagar added. "This is an effective measure for hotels to offset high turnover in the front desk department. We continue to innovate and make our system even more accessible with the release of the new Freemium Plan. Hoteliers can expect a lot more self-enabling features to be rolled out in the near future."
