South Africa's Acclaimed Vineyard Hotel & Spa and Townhouse Hotel Roll-Out IDeaS

10/02/06: IDeaS announced that two of Cape Town’s most acclaimed hotels, the Vineyard Hotel & Spa and the Townhouse Hotel have installed IDeaS Revenue Optimization.

“After previous experience with another revenue management software we were familiar with the benefits of having an automated process, but we were interested in finding a solution that better mapped to the needs of our business by providing more advanced functionality,” said Theresa Prins, Group Revenue Manager. “When the opportunity came for us to explore other solutions, we wanted to find a product that made actual pricing decisions rather than simple recommendations. IDeaS offered us that in addition to expanded functionality that helps us in other areas as well, such as combining the information from both hotels for analysis and strategic decision making.”

“The Vineyard & Spa and Townhouse had already developed a revenue management culture. At issue for them was finding a replacement solution that meet their growing interest in maximizing profits at both their hotels,” said Fabian Specht, Director of Business Development & Distribution, EAME for IDeaS. “When the hotels switched to Micros Opera PMS, it was also the right timing to activate IDeaS and take the revenue management approach at the hotel to the next level.”
