"The system's enhanced features and functionality will enable hotels to engage more fully in the guest experience — from pre-arrival through post-departure — and, as a result, maximize guest wallet share. This industry-leading solution is more powerful than ever and is ideal for small to mid-sized resorts and hotels that want a robust yet flexible property management system."
