d2o, “deadline 2 online," providers of the web-based Performance Management Intelligence (PMI) suite that enables hotel and resort department heads to intelligently manage their daily costs in approximately 5 minutes a day, announced its solution is dramatically improving performance at the Hotel Contessa in San Antonio, Texas.

“We expected PMI would improve revenue forecasting and labor productivity at our property, but actually seeing how it does that is amazing," said Wende Blumberg, general manager of Hotel Contessa. “By showing each department’s performance results side by side, PMI has enhanced the spirit of competition among our department managers to stay within budget and outperform one another. The managers benefit by doing their best; and as they excel, it benefits the property."

Improved delivery of performance information

PMI eliminates the stress of daily, weekly, and monthly reporting deadlines by improving performance information delivery. PMI is a web-based enterprise performance optimization system installed in more than 600 hotels. d2o is a leading hospitality industry innovator in integrated software solutions. “PMI’s forecasting and budget-comparison reports are easy to use and are held online so I, my managers, and our corporate team can monitor our performance from any web browser," said Blumberg.

“PMI is clearly improving planning and productivity at Hotel Contessa and we have found this is true at all our properties," said Young N. Nguyen, founder and CEO of d2o. “By improving the delivery of performance information to department heads, they have the intelligence they need to increase profitability because they can measure their daily performance against budget and forecast. This has a very positive impact on property success."
