A hotel rarely runs on one piece of software. Booking channels, payments, revenue tools, housekeeping, point of sale and guest communication can all form part of the technology stack. The challenge is making those systems work together without creating unnecessary administration.
What is a hotel PMS integration?
A PMS integration allows a property management system to exchange information with another application or service. Done well, integrations can reduce duplicate data entry and help teams work from more consistent information.
Why disconnected systems create problems
When important hotel systems do not communicate effectively, staff can end up moving information manually between platforms. That can take time and create opportunities for mistakes, particularly during busy periods.
A more connected approach
Mews positions its platform as a connected hospitality operating system. Its current offering brings together areas such as PMS operations, payments, revenue management and guest experience, while its Marketplace provides access to more than 1,000 hospitality integrations.
Integrations should support your hotel’s strategy
More integrations are not automatically better. Hotel owners and managers should look at whether each connection solves a genuine operational problem, improves the guest journey or provides useful business information.
Questions to ask before choosing a PMS
- Which systems does the PMS integrate with?
- How much information has to be entered manually?
- Can staff access important information from one place?
- Will the platform support the hotel’s future technology needs?
- Can the system adapt as the property grows?
