Peabody Hotels Expands Relationship with Infor to Deliver Exceptional Guest Service


Infor HMS to Help Unify Processes, Maximize Revenue and Improve Efficiency
for Recognized Industry Leader


 
NEW YORK– September 4, 2012Infor, a leading provider of business application software serving more than 70,000 customers, today announced that Peabody Hotels has selected Infor HMS to automate functions across its multiple properties. Enabled with Infor10 ION technology, Infor HMS is a specialized, multi-departmental application for the hospitality industry that integrates front-office and on-property technology to help customers better manage room availability, dynamic pricing, and guest profiles in order to boost profitability and maintain a competitive edge. Through this centralized look at performance, Peabody Hotels can track guest preferences, simplify reservations and provide consistent quality and services.
 
News Points
  • Peabody Hotels, an existing Infor customer, decided to expand the relationship because of Infor’s superior expertise in the hospitality industry and dependable support staff. Infor HMS unifies multiple hotel functions into a single application, allowing Peabody Hotels to consolidate information on the performance of multiple properties, create customized reports and ultimately make better forecasts and business decisions.
  • The innovative functionality of Infor HMS will automate several processes that previously required manual entry, enabling Peabody Hotels associates to focus more time on guests - saving the property both time and money.
  • Infor10 ION Workspace provides a consumer-grade user experience and system navigation that helps speed hotel processes.  Peabody Hotels will benefit from the application’s extensive flexibility and customization potential, which allows Peabody Hotels to deploy a wider variety of configurations  to better suit its needs.
  • The Peabody Hotels plan to eventually utilize the mobile Infor HMS Check-In application to further personalize the guest experience by empowering associates with the real-time information necessary to provide enhanced service from anywhere in the hotel. The concierge can use the application to provide a more personalized recommendation to view local attractions and associates can quickly post charges to the guest folio, print folios and view notes right from the application, to improve their guests’ check-out experience.
Peabody Hotels Quote
“The guest is at the center of our operations and we needed to implement a software system that would give us real-time information to make that experience as personalized as possible,” said Barb Bowden, general manager of The Peabody Orlando and corporate director of revenue management for the Peabody Hotels. “Infor HMS was the clear choice because of its ability to unify hotel functions like guest profiles and in-house services all within a single application, providing our associates with critical tools to deliver the best possible services.”
 
Infor Quote
“In order to be successful in this competitive market, hoteliers need to have direct access to information from every area of the business in real-time,” said Stewart Applbaum, SVP and general manager, hospitality, Infor. “Our Infor Hospitality Suite not only provides executives and staff with critical data, but helps our customers quickly adapt to changing consumer expectations and demands in order to improve guest service and drive additional sales.”
