News for the Hospitality Executive |
Winter Springs, Fla. — January 14, 2009 — EZYield.com, the originator of
automated online
channel management solutions for the worldwide hospitality industry,
today
announced that their technology was instrumental in the recovery of
Mexican
hotel chain, Camino
Real
Hotels, following the recent Swine Flu scare’s devastation on the
region’s
hospitality industry. Using EZYield.com, the chain was able to quickly
execute
changes in revenue management strategy that assisted them in
stabilizing sales
and combating their plummeting occupancy levels.
Even though Camino Real had been using the EZYield.com system for several months before the economic challenges that resulted from the disease outbreak began, it wasn’t until the “storm” passed that Camino Real Hotels realized how the basic fundamentals of the EZYield.com technology -- ease of use, time savings and accuracy -- had helped them to quickly recoup the income they had lost over the preceding weeks. “As the Swine Flu became more controlled and we knew that we were going to begin seeing renewed interest in our properties, we had to again change strategies in all of our hotels right away,” commented Margarita Puente, E-commerce manager for Camino Real Hotels. “EZYield.com made it easy to adjust our strategy by allowing us to quickly and accurately update all of our third party channels. I couldn’t imagine being able to accomplish the amount of work that needed to be done in such a short amount of time, prior to having this technology.” Using EZYield.com, Puente and her staff were able to adjust their rates and allotments quickly, avoiding any additional loss in property income and promptly raising awareness of their properties across all online channels. “With EZYield.com, not only were we able to place our properties in the forefront of the minds of potential guests, but we were able to upsell more room categories as travelers continued to show increased interest in Mexico and our resorts,” stated Puente. Being able to continuously drive sales requires tweaking, testing and examining reports to implement the best possible strategy for a specific property. Once actionable conclusions are reached, they must be implemented quickly, so that new strategies can be evaluated and created. “EZYield.com has the best technology to handle our online revenue management. It has freed up at least 15 hours a week, we are more dynamic in updating our channels, and we’ve been able to take a microeconomic approach to each property’s ability to drive online revenue and adjust accordingly,” continued Puente. For EZYield.com CEO Ed St. Onge, those remedies are exactly what the doctor ordered. “Recovering from an international scare that enveloped an entire country takes a great amount of work, vision and desire. Camino Real Hotels has done that, and is a model to other companies out there on how to successfully get back in the game following adversity.” For more information, please contact EZYield.com sales at +1 407.629.0900 (press 1), email [email protected] or visit www.ezyield.com.
