The Yimpas Hotel Kahramanmaras has been operating with Hogatex Starlight® Front Office since April this year. The project was acquired by Omni Yazilim ve Donanim, business partner of Hogatex in Turkey, who also signs responsible for local support.

The property belongs to the brand-new city hotel chain Yimpas Hotel, which is part of the renowned Yimpas Group. The core-business of Yimpas: The group started its business as a modern integrated store company for foods and non-foods. Yimpas owns approximately 100 chain stores all over the world. 50 of them can be found in their home country Turkey. In Germany 11 Yimpas department stores exist at the time. Seven more are about to be opened within the next one to two years. Additionally there are also manufactories for textiles, furniture and housewares belonging to the Yimpas Group, furthermore hospitals, a soccer club and of course - Hotels.

Based on the Yimpas slogan: "It is not always right to strike for the lowest common denominator, but for the nicest", guests will encounter harmony and friendliness in all Yimpas hotels. With this basic philosophy the highly expanding hotel chain is planning an upgrading to become the biggest hotel chain not only in Turkey but also in states of the former Soviet Union (Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, etc.).

Ahmet Külür, Sales Manager at Omni, recounts, "Extreme user-friendliness, professional visual display and Windows-software basis have been the most important features which have set the course for Hogatex. Moreover, Yimpas values the attendance of a local contact for all user requests."

Hayri Sacakli , General Manager of Yimpas Hotel Kahramanmaras, emphasises, "It is not enough to decide for an excellent software solution. To exist perfectly in the every day life of a hotel it is also highly important for us to trust in the competence of the local support. We know Omni as a renowned service provider for the hotel industry. Omni so far has met our expectations entirely."

The possibility to get a complete package with Micros convinced Yimpas as well in their voting for Hogatex and Omni.
