Centrada Unveils New Hospitality PMS
SaaS Solution Rolls Out with Phoenix Inn Suites
FLOWER MOUND, TX, JUNE 21, 2007. A new, Web-based and OTA-compliant property-management system, built on the Microsoft .NET Framework, has arrived on the hospitality scene, making its debut at Phoenix Inn Suites hotels in Vancouver and Olympia, Wash., and Beaverton and Albany, Ore. The solution, called NOVEXSYS, was designed by Centrada Solutions LLC for the Phoenix Inn Suites collection of 11 premier all-suite hotels. Today NOVEXSYS is available to any hotel looking for a simplified, affordable PMS.
"Aimbridge Hospitality, owner and management company for the Phoenix Inn Suites brand, was frustrated with the PMS in place at its Phoenix Inn Suites hotels," said Steve Woodward, president of Centrada Solutions LLC which provides outsourced technology management and services to Aimbridge Hospitality and its 27 multi-branded hotels. "With more than 40 years of hospitality technology and operations experience, my team knew there was no Web-based PMS on the market today that could provide the service that Aimbridge was looking for and at a price-point they were comfortable with.
"To the hospitality industry, NOVEXSYS - derived from Latin terms 'Novus' or 'new' and 'Vexum' or 'standard' - means the 'new standard in hotel systems,'" he said. "For Phoenix Inn Suites, NOVEXSYS means a low cost of ownership, essential PMS functionality, and the ability to operate a centralized PMS for the brand."
Woodward said that for years hoteliers operating with fewer than 200 guestrooms have complained that they are: 1) tired of paying for functions that are never used; 2) annoyed with cumbersome, lengthy training for staff that rarely results in system proficiency; and 3) unable to implement the latest technology because of budget restraints for new server hardware, software, and workstations that support a traditional PMS.
"Small property owners want the advantages of a state-of-the-art, OTA-compliant PMS that can be installed without a huge expense and without the features and functions that they will never use," he said. "NOVEXSYS is simple software that is sold as a service. It requires no upfront licensing fees, and it's Web based, so it can be installed in minutes on existing hardware."
