Technology solutions vendor innRoad Inc has said that many of its hotel clients are weathering this economic storm as its Software-as-a-Service solution has helped them streamline business operations and cut costs. 

 

As an example, officials at inroad cite New York client Chelsea Pines Inn, which has reaped a 720 percent return on the investment made on technology solutions. 

 

“innRoad has helped accelerate our reservation activity, increased our labor savings and improved our ability to sell more rooms through more channels online. Most importantly in the current economy, innRoad has been a great way for us to maintain our booking volume,” said Al Ridolfo, general manager of Chelsea Pines.

 

The Enclave Inn of Bridgehampton, New York, said it’s seen equally positive results.

 

“Within months of using innRoad, our revenues soared by 20 percent and occupancy rates improved by 4 percent, reflecting an overall return on investment of 2500 percent,” said Enclave Inn owner Michael Wudyka. “The top-line benefits have also been significant. innRoad has so dramatically streamlined operations, that we have more time to focus on our guests and plan for future growth.”

 

innRoad’s SaaS (News - Alert) delivery model, also used by CRM leader SalesForce.com and social networking giant Facebook, offers an easy option for hotel owners to streamline their business. Unlike traditional software systems, innRoad’s customers do not need to install software or buy hardware. Instead, they pay only a small monthly subscription fee based on usage.

 

The company’s SaaS solution integrates bookings, global distribution, property management and marketing all on a single platform. Room inventories, rates and availability rules are posted and updated in real time, increasing visibility online and selling more rooms through more channels.

 

“Even in today’s economy, innRoad customers are continuing to experience significant success resulting from SaaS, or ‘on-demand delivery’, which frees them from the high costs and constraints of traditional software,” said Murat Ozsu, innRoad founder and CEO.

 

What is playing in favor of innRoad, according to analysts, is the monthly subscription fee that allows hotels to better manage their monthly cash flow.
