The first all-in-one small hotel business
solution launches in the U.S.
Little Hotelier, a top-of-the-line reservation
and property management system for small hotels, bed and breakfasts, inns and
motels, has today announced its expansion into the U.S. to offer the local
market’s first all-in-one hotel business solution.
“We are excited to be able to satisfy the
increasing demand we have been receiving from U.S. hotels, inns and lodges,
particularly as hotel occupancy within the U.S. market is forecast to hit a
record high in 2015[1] and automation technology will be crucial for
small hotels. Little Hotelier is specifically designed to enable small
accommodation providers around the world to manage their online presence and
compete on the global stage – and now properties in the U.S. can join our
customers around the world to benefit from exactly this,” says Bronwyn
Karaoglu, Little Hotelier evangelist.
Little Hotelier’s solution aims to empower small
hoteliers through award-winning, best-in-class technology. Taking a
three-pronged approach to small hotel management, the system includes a
property management system (PMS), an online reservation system and a channel
manager that connects small hotels to more than 250 of the world’s leading
online distribution channels.
Using a ‘pooled inventory’ model, Little
Hotelier allows small hoteliers to have all their rooms online at the same
time, and also manage all their inventory from one place to drastically reduce
the risks of overbookings and double bookings that come with manual inventory
management.
The system’s complete automation capability also
enables hoteliers to work more efficiently by eliminating otherwise manual
administrative work.
In its recent survey of U.S. hotels and inns
with less than 50 rooms, Little Hotelier found that time spent on manual
administrative work was a major frustration, with 65 percent of respondents
saying that time wasted on managing reservations across multiple sites was
their biggest challenge.
Ms Karaoglu says: “By consolidating the three
systems into one, we’re solving a very significant problem that small hotels in
the U.S. are facing. Updating inventory across distribution channels, in
particular, is a painful task, with a large number of innkeepers saying
overbooking and double booking is a constant risk.”
The Little Hotelier system is now live and
innkeepers can sign up instantly by visiting www.littlehotelier.com.
