In the dynamic environment of the hospitality industry, selecting an efficient property management system (PMS) is crucial for enhancing operational effectiveness and guest satisfaction. Our recent collaboration with Solana Hotel, an independent hotel, exemplifies a successful implementation of Oracle’s OPERA PMS, highlighting our commitment to delivering solutions that meet and exceed needs and expectation of our clients.
Understanding G3 Hospitality Ltd. c/o Solana Hotel & Spa’s Goals
Solana Hotel & Spa, under the leadership of General Manager Daniel Grima, aimed to upgrade their operational capabilities to enhance guest services. This ambition was rooted in their commitment to maintaining the high standards of an independent hotel. After thorough consultations with our hospitality team, Oracle’s OPERA Cloud PMS was identified as the ideal solution to meet their needs for flexibility and functionality.
Tailored Proposal and Swift Approval
The process began with detailed discussions with Mr. Grima and his team to fully understand their specific requirements and expectations. These insights allowed us to create a proposal that aligned with Solana Hotel’s operational goals and industry best practices. The clarity and detail of our proposal facilitated a quick approval, setting the stage for a timely implementation.
Meticulous Configuration and Implementation
With the timeline clearly defined by Mr. Grima, our hospitality team promptly initiated the implementation phase. This stage was marked by close collaboration with the Solana Hotel team, focusing on meticulous configuration of the OPERA PMS to meet the hotel’s unique operational and service standards.
Our team’s expertise in hospitality systems was crucial in handling the complexities of the OPERA PMS. Each step of the configuration was carefully planned and executed, ensuring the system was fully optimized to enhance operational efficiency and elevate the guest experience.
Effective Training and Ongoing Support
Recognising the importance of empowering the hotel staff to fully utilise the new system, we conducted extensive training sessions. These were tailored to ensure all team members were proficient with the OPERA PMS, conducted both onsite and through virtual platforms to suit different learning preferences and schedules.
Our commitment extended beyond the initial training, as we continued to provide support and guidance throughout the transition. This ongoing assistance helped smooth out any challenges and ensured the staff’s comfort and confidence with the new system.
Positive Feedback and Operational Enhancement
The feedback from Mr. Grima and his team at Solana Hotel & Spa has been overwhelmingly positive. The staff noted significant enhancements in their daily operations and guest interactions. The intuitive design and robust features of the OPERA PMS enabled them to offer more seamless and personalised services, true to the standards of Solana Hotel.
Encouraged by this success, Solana Hotel & Spa has expressed satisfaction with the outcomes and is planning to expand the use of OPERA PMS to three additional hotels in their portfolio. This expansion reflects their confidence in the system’s ability to meet their high standards across multiple properties.
