Who needs hotel software on an iPad? Many visitors at the ATM booth of protel international, who for the first time could lay hands on “protel for iPad”, grasped the answer quickly. The clearly structured layout offers great usability even for inexperienced users and is a fun experience for anyone. Tablet devices offer many advantages to hotels, as business processes become more and more independent of location. A few examples: Hotels can use iPads as “floating front desks”, offering guests mobile services like check-in or check-out. iPads could even be employed as support work stations to reduce demand peaks.
With protel Air, protel expands its SaaS product line. protel Air is a full-service solution and a true “Software-as-a-Service” application, which is hosted in a secure data centre environment. Benefits for the user: Additional hardware and installations in the hotel are unnecessary; the sole requirement is an Internet browser. The software is maintained and updated by protel. Data security is also taken care of by protel. With its extended range of functionalities and based on the latest technology, the easily scalable cloud application is the perfect solution for all hotels who value flexibility, reliability and security.
With protel Voyager protel presented a customizable mobile app for hotel guests. To spare guests the need to install one app for every single hotel they stay in, “protel Voyager” is designed as a “web app” which runs on the mobile device browser, optimised for iOs- or Android-driven mobile devices or BlackBerrys. The app offers access to guest relevant functions of the property management system like booking services. It also offers access to location based services advertising local events and facilities and to the hotel’s social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn. protel Voyager will encourage guests to report positive feedback and ensure their return using the app and the hotel’s web booking engine.
From the fringes of the Arabian Travel Market, Magued Malek, director of protel international in Dubai, could report another pleasant success. Jebel Ali International Hotels signed a master agreement for all properties. Starting in September, all JAIH hotels will switch to protel MPE (protel multi property edition).
