Hospitality software providers, Guestline, has a portfolio of technology solutions aimed at the apartment market to help them manage their properties more effectively and maximise the amount of revenue they generate from them.

Since installing an integrated suite of property management solutions at SACO – The Serviced Apartment Company, online bookings have doubled in the last twelve months. SACO, a market leading vendor with over 30,000 stylish, serviced apartments worldwide reported that Rezlynx PMS has helped them maximise revenue streams in this competitive market. They also installed Distribution Channel Manager, Central Reservation System and PCI Manager.

Guestline's cloud based property management software - Rezlynx - is currently growing revenues in apartments across the UK and is fully integrated into the Guestline distribution and central reservation platforms. Rezlynx incorporates full PMS functionality, including front of house, reservations, housekeeping, back office, sales ledger, billing and business analysis reporting whilst the Guestline Distribution Channel Manager delivers a solution to maximize the yield potential of apartment stock by offering real time availability to all online sales channels.

Greater availability and increased consumer demand are driving the growth of the serviced apartment sector, according to the Association of Serviced Apartment Providers (ASAP). As a result, the need for software solutions to help apartments manage their portfolios more efficiently and profitably is also on the rise.

Ideal for managing multiple properties, the combination of Rezlynx PMS and Channel Manager equips apartment vendors with a centralised property management solution that facilitates real-time head office management reporting, provides seamless cross-property bookings and manages live online reservations through a variety of online channels (including bookings from their own website, third party booking agents and the GDS) from one location.

With more people waking up to the benefits of serviced apartments - more flexibility, more space, a home away from home and great value – apartment owners need to ensure they have the systems in place to serve this growing market.

Other apartment vendors that have implemented Guestline solutions include Prestige, The Spires Serviced Apartments, Fountain Court, Town and Country and Base Serviced Apartments.

Rupert Gutteridge, Sales and Marketing Director at Guestline added 'Serviced apartment vendors choose Guestline's PMS and channel management solutions as we can supply this market with fully scalable, next-generation solutions which help increase occupancy, room rates and RevPar. Between them, ASAP's 73 members have opened 809 units so far this year - expected to reach nearly 1,000 by the end of 2014 - and everything points to even more growth in the coming years.'
