Maestro Multi-Property: Powerful and Cost-Effective
The MCM
Family of
Hotels operates eight properties and 1577 rooms in the Southwest. “Maestro streamlines operations, provides reservation
software for direct online booking, and connects all our hotels on
one
database,” said Venita Yelley, vice president of operations for MCM. “Maestro’s single-image database made it very
easy and cost-effective to add our eighth hotel. We
were ‘live’ and making money in less than
a week. We also installed NORTHWIND’s
ResWave online direct booking engine for our new hotel.
ResWave lets us easily build rates and
packages and there are no interface issues as with third-party
reservation
systems.”
MCM centrally optimizes
rates for its properties with Maestro Yield Management. “We set pricing
thresholds
from our corporate office and Maestro optimizes rates automatically,”
Yelley
said. “Maestro Multi-Property
standardized our operation, enabled central management controls, and
makes our
company much more efficient.”

Business Intelligence Drives Smarter
Decisions
NORTHWIND also
provides multi-property operators with enterprise Business Intelligence
for
more profitable, fact-based decisions.
Maestro Business Intelligence lets multi-property
operators gather data
and create flexible performance reports for an entire enterprise based
on
region, business type, and other criteria to inform marketing, rate
setting,
and forecasting for one property or a hundred.
Banff
Lodging
Company owns nine resorts, operates eight restaurants, a spa, a
retail-rental
store, and two nightclubs. “Our reservations and sales departments are
centralized on Maestro Multi-Property. Its centralized database enables
our teams
to effectively cross sell our numerous outlets,” said Cathy Geisler,
reservations manager for Banff Lodging Company. “Maestro improves
productivity,
increases revenues, and creates cost savings since we do not have
reservations
and sales representatives located at each property.”
Geisler stated that Banff Lodging books large
groups at multiple properties with one master group file and invoice
for more
professional management. The company
also uses the Maestro Sales and Catering system to book space at all
its
properties and restaurants.
“Maestro lets us see our clients’ business at a high
level and manage it with precision,” Geisler said. "We
manage groups efficiently because all
group rooms and events share one record, regardless of which properties
are
utilized."

Flexible and Powerful for Sales and
Group
Operations
Meyer Jabara
Hotels operates more than 20 hotels. ”We use Maestro Multi-Property for
our
three independent hotels, our 160-slip Henderson’s Wharf marina, and a
luxury
condo complex,” said Dennis Morris director of revenue development for
Meyer
Jabara. “Maestro Multi-Property is a flexible, powerful system for
group
operations and sales. It is cloud-based,
so our sales teams access it remotely to close more business. They easily check guest room and meeting
space availability, and verify client account information to be more
productive
while they are out of the office.”
Maestro’s
single-image database enables Meyer Jabara’s operations team to freely
move
between hotels without re-training. The
system maximizes staff efficiency for more flexible job assignments. Morris said, “I centrally optimize all rate
setting with Maestro’s Yield Management system.” Meyer
Jabara also centralizes accounts
receivables for its three independents for more efficient standardized
collections. “Since Maestro
Multi-Property is cloud-based, I can work at any of our three
independents or
remotely as needed,” Morris said. |
