Orlando, FL  (September 22, 2011)  EZYield, the premier global provider of distribution management solutions for hotels, today announced that the N. Daskalantonakis Group, including Grecotel Resorts and Classical Hotels, has selected its  Fuzionlink channel management solution for deployment across its portfolio of luxury hotels.  The deal is the first major joint success following the recent appointment of Athens-based Sysco S.A. as the official reseller of EZYield’s Fuzion Hospitality Suite throughout Greece and the Balkans.

Fuzionlink is being used by Grecotel & Classical hotels to manage rates, availability and inventory across unlimited third-party sites through one easy-to-use web application. The largest upmarket Greek hotel chain—with a portfolio of 30, four and five star properties—chose EZYield’s Fuzionlink for its proven performance, system reliability, and 97% data update accuracy which is the highest in the industry.  The N. Daskalantonakis Group will also take advantage of Fuzionlink’s ability to provide access to new revenue channels and help maintain rate parity across the web.

“To remain competitive in this dynamic market, we have to ensure that our rates are accurately displayed across all relevant web channels and that inventory allocation is current—without question,” said Dimitris Hondros, Director of Sales Administration for Grecotel.  “When searching for an automated channel management system, we wanted the best solution in the category – one that would integrate flawlessly with our existing CRS, PMS and RMS technologies, provide robust functionality, plus deliver the performance and reliability we require. With the tools and expertise of EZYield, we experience best in class distribution management across the widest range of local and global channels with complete confidence and peace of mind.”

The N. Daskalantonakis Group was also the first hotel group to capitalise on EZYield’s deeper commitment to the Greek marketplace, following the distribution partnership agreement with Sysco.  EZYield selected Sysco for its’ quality track record and experience in developing and implementing operating systems and revenue management software applications for its very strong network of accommodation providers in the region.

Commenting on the partnership, Charis Filaretopoulos, Managing Director of Sysco, said, “We are delighted to be working with EZYield towards our goal of bringing world-class hospitality connectivity solutions to Greece and the Balkan region. Now with the Fuzion Hospitality Suite in our portfolio, we can help local hoteliers act more strategically and reach more consumers in order to grow their businesses and improve their operational results.”
