FrontDesk Foundation
The Hotelogix PMS is built around its FrontDesk module. Hotelogix FrontDesk is laid out as a grid that displays up-to-the-minute status of a property. It is a reservation chart that doubles up as a powerful dashboard. Staff can draw bookings on it directly or update reservations with simple point-and-click controls. FrontDesk is also the heart of the hotel's operation, keeping managers connected to all key areas of the hotel. Bookings from the hotel's website, travel agents, outside channels / global distribution systems show instantly on the reservation chart.
With Hotelogix FrontDesk, hoteliers can:
Complete complex tasks and workflows, such as room change, upgrade and payment with a simple right click and drag and drop.
Change a rate by simply clicking on it and selecting from available options. Only valid rates will appear. Upgrade a guest to a new room and add breakfast or airport transfers, and the system will select the appropriate charges and taxes automatically.
Work with full insight of revenues and room sales. Avoid unwanted surprises when dealing with payments due from guests or travel agents. The system enables hoteliers to always be aware and prepared regarding occupancy and future forecasts.
Track guest payments at all stages of a booking and stay. Customize this feature and access up-to-the-minute information about pending reservations and prevent unwanted financial exposure to protect business interests.
FrontDesk comes equipped with integrated modules for Point of Sale (touchscreen enabled, ready for roomservice, integrated reports, supports packages and add ons), Housekeeping (automatic updating of room status and task monitoring), Reports (checking forecasts and tracking progress) and Accounting (manage travel agents, corporate credits and commissions plus manage invoices, payables, ageing reports deductions, etc.). Interfaces are also provided for online distribution, TripConnect, EPBAX, Kitchen Order Ticket Printer and payment gateways.
"Hotelogix is driving best practices for PMS in a software as a service (SaaS) application," said Prabhash Bhatnagar, Hotelogix Founder. "For the first time hoteliers are experiencing true benefits of a comprehensive solution being offered via the cloud."
