How to choose the best property management system
Before choosing your PMS provider, make sure you have the following boxes ticked:
Does it have the necessary features to make your life easier?
Your property management system needs to save you time on your day-to-day tasks if it’s to be a worthwhile investement. Ensure you can easily modify reservations, check guests in and out, update rates and availability, schedule housekeeping duties and record notes, and automate guest communications.
Does it free you from your front desk?
Using software to play the part of your front desk means you shouldn’t need to be at your front desk on the computer all the time. If your provider has a mobile app, you can manage your reservations from anywhere – even if you’re away from the property.
Does it kill off your paperwork?
The relief of not being bogged down by various papers and notebooks is a huge blessing your PMS can provide if it has reporting, invoicing, and payment functions.
Does it allow an all-in-one experience?
Your PMS should seamlessly integrate with other software such as a channel manager and booking engine to give you one centralised hub from which you can control your property.
