WDC Apartment, Buea, Cameroon From the chic mid-century modern decor adorning the hotel to eclectic dining options, WDC ApartHotel is an oasis for all visitors and global travellers. The hotel is ideally located, steps away from the university and the heart of Buea. Its newly built hotel suites come with conveniences such as mini-refrigerators, flat-panel smart TVs, and with a private pool on the top floor. WDC offers pristine, expertly designed apartments with high-end amenities and World-Class services. MARKET SITUATION ANALYSIS: Most softwares in the market that the client evaluated were not very user friendly, which gave Hotelogix a cut above the rest. With its simple, yet effective interface, Hotelogix was easy to use and did not leave any scope for ambiguity. OTHER PMS SOLUTIONS CONSIDERED: The customer evaluated Leading Legacy Software Well-known cloud-based software which offers a complete software suite However, preferred Hotelologix’s All-In-One Solution over both. REASONS FOR CHOOSING HOTELOGIX: The decision to go with Hotelogix was a no-brainer. The CEO along with his team-mates decided on Hotelogix for the following reasons: Price: Affordable, competitively priced Ease of Use: Simple to understand and train staff on the tool COMMONLY USED FEATURES: Hotelogix’s integration with Channel Manager software makes it easy to carry out changes on the hotel’s website or booking engine and see them being synced with the distribution tool and PMS. When the number of OTAs being used are only a few, Hotelogix allows changes on the software itself, without going on to another platform and also facilitates constant monitoring. RESULTS WITH THE USE OF HOTELOGIX: 10-15% INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF BOOKINGS: The use of the booking engine and the channel manager connection with Hotelogix helped in bringing in more reservations, as it facilitated customers in reaching the website. Integrating more methods of accepting payments also helped with bookings. EFFECTIVE TRACKING MECHANISM: The system generated reports which were sent every week or at the end of every month were a great way of tracking the performance of the property. CENTRAL RESERVE OF INFORMATION: With the integration of tools like the web booking engine and the channel manager to the PMS software, all information is gathered and presented in one place for effective understanding. The PMS tool truly works as an All-in-One solution. PROMPT CUSTOMER SUPPORT: The responsiveness of the support team was always commendable, whether the help was sought over mail or live chat. DIRECT PAYMENTS: Hotelogix’s offerings align perfectly with the goal of the organisation wherein customers are encouraged to make a deposit, through direct ways of making payments, to secure their bookings, which also works in favour of the hotel. The client at WDC Apartment took an informed decision to sign up for Hotelogix after evaluating leading software providers in the market. Factors like price and ease of use, which could make the entire experience of using a software less than worthwhile if they do not fit into a hotel’s expectations, did fall into place for WDC beautifully.

Kokotel Hotels, Bangkok, Thailand Kokotel Hotels Gained Centralized Control and Operational Efficiency with Enterprise-Grade PMS from Hotelogix “Hotelogix has contributed enormously in supporting real-time data flow and seamless connectivity for Kokotel chain of Hotels.” – Mr. Rei, CEO, Kokotel Hotels About Kokotel Hotels Kokotel hotels believe in the philosophy of “We Are Friends & Family Serving Friends & Family” Kokotel started their business as a small, 40-room hotel and café in Bangkok, Thailand. They welcome guests from around the world with wholehearted hospitality. Kokotel is the name inspired by some Japanese word “Kokoro (heart)”. This is a symbol of their commitment to providing a heart-warming service. Whether you come with close friends, or family, we help you discover and share wonderful things about yourselves, beyond just sightseeing and eating great food. The hospitality industry is increasingly adopting cloud-based solutions over on-premise hospitality solutions. Kokotel hotels is one such success story. They attained centralized control and operational efficiency as a result of moving on from an on-premise solution to Enterprise-Grade Cloud Hotel PMS solution. Their transition was smooth and outcomes were worth putting together into a success story. Let’s know their story in detail. Scenario and Challenges: Kokotel Hotel was already using an on-premise PMS, but they were not getting the results they had expected. Another issue was the cost, the existing system was becoming too expensive to use. Additionally, with their business expanding and requirements evolving, they needed a more advanced system that can manage inventory distribution, accounts, F&B, and bookings seamlessly. For Kokotel hotels, deployment of on-premise PMS to multiple properties was proving to be a very expensive and tedious process. Managing just one property with on-premise PMS is easy and cost effective. However, issues start multiplying with the addition of multiple properties with on-premise PMS. The primary challenge with on-premise PMS are lack of integration between PMS, booking engine and channel manager. They were also looking at the integration with third-party solutions, including cafe (F&B) operations. The absence of a cloud-based PMS leads to a considerable manual effort by Kokotel’s staff. Also, it was making it difficult to achieve the operational efficiency they needed. With rapid expansion on cards, this problem of seamless flow of data would have only multiplied. Another major requirement that they had was centralized reporting. Their staff was facing a tough time managing information coming from independent systems. They were facing major issues concerning data consolidation and real-time flow of information. Hence, they decided to adopt a solution that could provide them seamless data flow for real-time decision making and no need for manual interference. To put a check on these issues and to gain high operational efficiency along with a centralized reporting system they decided to move ahead with Hotelogix PMS. Solution: Kokotel started its journey with Hotelogix with just one property 2.5 years back. Soon, this number increased to 8 properties. The plan is to expand the implementation to its 20 properties. For a hotel chain like Kokotel, cloud PMS is the right solution. Things improved after Kokotel hotels on-boarded with Hotelogix PMS. Let’s see what are the main advantages they witnessed after they replaced their existing On-premise solution with Hotelogix. Real-time Connectivity and Centralized ControlHotelogix PMS is an excellent tool and enabled Kokotel Hotels to scale rapidly to all their chains. The solution’s real-time connectivity and the all-in-one integrated system helped them in managing their overall operations of PMS, Booking Engine, Chanel manager, F&B POS very effectively. This provided them the centralized control and real-time connectivity they were looking for. Superior Guest Experience Resulting in Enhanced ReputationHaving an efficient PMS solution also improved the overall guest experience at Kokotel hotel. They are very focused on maintaining their online reputation as it is directly related to growing their business organically. The average rating of Kokotel hotels is 4.5 on trip advisor. They are committed and focused on enhancing their guest experience for meeting or exceeding their service level expectations. And, Hotelogix has helped them achieve their goal.Kokotel’s efficient, in-depth management and well-executed SOP’s were aptly supported by Hotelogix.

Improved Operations and Higher EfficiencyHotelogix PMS supports integration with third-party systems like Revenue Manager, POS, IT system, Accounting, etc. Because of its cloud nature, its implementation in multiple chains and expansion is very easy and very few people are required to manage it.Complete integration increased performance and efficiency. Kokotel’s property manager reported a significant improvement in metrics like occupancy, RevPAR, etc.Kokotel hotels being an Enterprise Hotel chain demands an Enterprise-grade PMS. Not only Hotelogix PMS came across as a great fit for this requirement but, has been one of the key driving factors of Kokotel’s rapid growth and the high number of reservations. Comprehensive Reporting and Single Point of Control :Hotelogix provides excellent detailed data capture and actionable insights.

As per Mr. Rei, CEO, Kokotel Hotels, the “subscription-based model of Hotelogix has helped in their rapid expansion. In the absence of a subscription-based model, such growth would not have been possible as one-time cost model like on-premise is expensive as compared to cloud. Thanks to Hotelogix, our operations have become very cost-effective and real-time”. Expressing his excitement and confidence, Mr. Aditya Sanghi, Co-Founder & CEO Hotelogix said “We are happy to drive Kokotel’s rapid expansion with our enterprise grade technology.
