Canalta Achieves Operations and Revenue Management Impact from SynXis Property Manager
“… I would highly recommend the SynXis Property Manager. It is very cost effective, user friendly and, above all, the service is excellent.”
Senior Director of Operations, Canalta
Canalta Hotels has grown dramatically over the past 35 years, operating 38 midscale properties across Western Canada. With their fast growth and commitment to excellence, Canalta’s need for a scalable and reliable property manager is crucial to provide their Legendary Hospitality to guests.
The Challenge
Ensuring continued profitability along with delivering a consistent experience across all their brands prompted the search for a new system that could meet their growing needs.
The Solution
User-Friendly system enables staff to focus on the guest
The SynXis Property Manager provides Canalta an easy to understand and navigate room board – giving instant access to the information front desk agents need for any aspect of the guest stay. The convenience of a cloud-based system also allows Canalta managers to access the system and assist employees anywhere.
Consistent brand standards
With multiple brands under the Canalta name, consistency is crucial and their previous property management system struggled to achieve that goal.
SynXis Property Manager provides the top-down enforcement of branding standards Canalta was looking for; along with customizable features for each hotel enabling consistent service levels across all hotels. Staff is also able to support any property without additional training of different systems.
Impact to revenue
With disparate and unreliable systems, it was difficult for Canalta to create an effective revenue management strategy. Each property managed their systems separately without remote or real time access to the systems at the enterprise level. With SynXis Property Manager, Canalta is now able to distribute availability, rates and inventory between the Property Management and Central Reservation systems without disruption in service and therefore can positively impact revenue.
With SynXis Property Manager as a cloud based system, Canalta no longer has capital expenditure or outdated systems to maintain, thus lowering their hardware and IT support costs.
Integrated, reliable and human support
Canalta has achieved an increase in efficiency since switching. Hotel staff time is no longer consumed in managing offline or fragmented systems within their properties and with headquarters. Implementation and training, as well as day-to-day access to the system, are much easier with SynXis Property Manager’s user-friendly interface. Hotel staff is trained faster and supported with live access to Sabre Hospitality Customer Care.
Third-party interfaces
The SynXis Property Manager interfaces with leading solutions allowing hotels the ability to leverage the technology of their current providers. Canalta will soon two-way integrate SynXis Property Manager to the SynXis Central Reservation and the booking engine.
The certified two-way integration between the SynXis Property Manager and the SynXis Central Reservation includes reservation delivery, as well as synchronization of inventory, rates and stay controls. The certified two-way integration ensures one true source of inventory between the two systems.
As a centralized system, the SynXis Property Manager has improved and enhanced key areas of corporate, brand and management reporting and administration, allowing Canalta to provide Legendary Hospitality for their guests.
