As stated in the Market Summary of the Hotel Property Management System research report, numerous vendors are within this competitive category of solutions. However, when searching for those systems relevant to your property or company, the property type(s) play a role in narrowing the field. This is because a resort property has different needs than an economy hotel.

Features relevant to resort properties typically include multi-module functionality to minimize the complexity of interfacing various solutions. It may also cover common amenities like spa, golf, tennis, and membership functionality.

Choosing a brand or a soft brand from a major hotel company often defines a hotel’s property management system. Alternatively, a hotel company may endorse a select list of evaluated systems, allowing you to choose from pre-integrated and brand-approved options. Yet other hotel companies may require their affiliated hotels to take a carte blanche approach, causing them to research and select the best system based on their specific business needs.

Capsolve’s Top Vendor List considers a multifaceted array of characteristics and functionality for each vendor and product combination. It also accounts for all the possible complexities associated with evaluating and purchasing software, hardware, and services.

This analysis begins to narrow the field, but ultimately, a business’s best potential solutions are based on its unique requirements. This is where a Customer Vendor List comes into play, where Capsolve will help a company find a list of qualified vendor products matching its unique criteria.
