LONDON — IDeaS Revenue Solutions, the leading provider of revenue management software solutions and advisory services, is pleased to announce a partnership with one of South Africa's best-known destination hotels, the Spier hotel, which has selected flagship IDeaS Revenue Management System (IDeaS RMS) to streamline their business.
Situated in the Cape Winelands on a historic wine farm, the 155-room Spier Hotel has become increasingly popular with both conferencing clients and leisure visitors wanting to experience the beauty of the South African winelands while still enjoying four-star surroundings.
"Together with variations in seasonal demand and diverse set of guests, the hotel is often presented with revenue management and forecasting challenges." said Joep Schoof, general manager at Spier Hotel. "The key task is being able to fit the optimal strategic business mix into that high demand period but still remain profitable during the winter period."
"As we enter 2018, the pace of change in the marketplace is accelerating, and IDeaS RMS will help us go to the market quicker with informed decisions by allowing us to be more adaptable and flexible. Our sales team is looking forward to using the Group Evaluation Module guaranteeing our clients that the rate offered is our best price thereby strengthen relationships with their clients."
