Updates and
Worth knowing

Before changing the hotel software, our ASA experts work with your team to analyze the workflows in the business and which systems (e.g. cash register system, key systems, etc.) are already in use and should be connected. As a rule, existing data can simply be transferred so that, for example, no customer data is lost during the changeover.

"Hotel software is an industry-specific program that maps the business processes of an accommodation business and whose individual program functions provide comprehensive support for a hotel's employees. Hotel software should include front-office, mid-office, and back-office functions, as well as functions that support hotel operations and hotel management in making strategic decisions." Jerzy Jaworski in "Industry Software for the Hotel Industry in the D-A-CH Region" from 2015.
