TWO EXPERIENCED COMPANIES—ONE AMAZING OUTCOME
Hotels run on people and data. But as labor costs increase at record rates and distribution complexity makes revenue
generation difficult and expensive, thoughtful, ongoing data analysis to make the right decisions every day is a
requirement for success. Fortunately, there are two innovative companies that provide solutions to thousands of hotels
to solve these challenges: ProfitSword and Hotel Effectiveness®. They’ve collaborated for years by connecting their two
powerful hotel systems—business intelligence + labor management—to deliver maximum performance and profitability
for clients.
THE CHALLENGE: PUTTING DATA TO USE FROM MULTIPLE SYSTEMS
The operating and financial data needed to make smart decisions comes from many systems— but hotels simply can’t
link these sources effectively by themselves. Meanwhile, hotel operators know that the best schedules and labor plans
should be built using well-defined staffing rules combined with operating forecasts but very few have access to the
right data or any tools to make this happen. ProfitSword’s analytics tool connected with the Hotel Effectiveness® labor
management system eliminates the complexity and empowers hotel managers to take full advantage of the power of
their own data.
THE SOLUTION: DYNAMIC DUO CREATES EFFICIENCY AND COST SAVINGS
Their impressive integration takes over where the human brain stops working—to analyze and present crucial data
in an easy-to-understand format for simplified performance forecasting and automated staff scheduling. This robust
combination saves hotels 5%–15% in labor costs while reducing the time needed to create schedules, dramatically
boosting profit margins, guest satisfaction and overall operating efficiency. And because the two systems were expertly
designed to work together, implementing this dual solution is easy for hotels.
