For the modern hotelier, the right Property Management System (PMS) is crucial for smooth operations, guest satisfaction, and maximizing revenue.
But selecting and optimizing a PMS can be a complex process, requiring expert guidance to ensure it meets the specific needs of your hotel. Our Hotel PMS System Consulting service is designed to help you choose, implement, and optimize a PMS that enhances your hotel’s efficiency and profitability.
Why Hotel PMS System Consulting is Essential
A Property Management System is the backbone of a hotel’s operations, handling everything from reservations and check-ins to billing and housekeeping management. With so many options available, choosing the right PMS—and ensuring it’s fully integrated with your hotel’s processes—can be daunting. That’s where our consulting services come in. We provide:

Case Study: The Wild Atlantic Lodge's Tech Stack Upgrade
The Wild Atlantic Lodge, a 50-room hotel nestled in the scenic landscapes of Ireland, faced challenges common to the hospitality industry: outdated operational systems leading to inefficiencies and subpar guest experiences. Recognizing the need for change, we collaborated with them to implement SabeeApp as their new Property Management System (PMS) five years ago. The results have been decidedly positive:
- Improved Operational Efficiency: SabeeApp revolutionized the lodge's operations by streamlining essential processes such as reservations, check-ins, and billing. This integration significantly reduced manual errors and increased staff productivity by enabling more tasks to be accomplished in less time.
- Enhanced Guest Satisfaction: The implementation of SabeeApp contributed to smoother and faster check-in processes, alongside more accurate billing. These improvements led to an elevated guest experience, reflected in higher satisfaction ratings. The efficiency and ease provided by the PMS have been instrumental in fostering positive guest reviews and repeat visits.
- Increased Revenue: Utilizing SabeeApp’s integrated revenue management tools, The Wild Atlantic Lodge was able to optimize its pricing strategies effectively. This tactical approach resulted in a noticeable 12% increase in Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) within the first year post-implementation.
The transition to SabeeApp PMS marked a significant turning point for The Wild Atlantic Lodge. By addressing operational inefficiencies and enhancing the guest experience, the lodge has set a firm foundation for sustained growth and profitability. Five years on, the team at The Wild Atlantic Lodge remains highly satisfied with SabeeApp, consistently leveraging its features to maintain operational excellence and deliver outstanding hospitality.
