Focus Hotels to implement Protel multi-property edition PMS from Xn Hotel Systems
Following the refurbishment and redevelopment of several of its hotels, Focus Hotels has announced its plans to implement protel Multi-Property Edition PMS (Property Management System) from Xn Hotel Systems to ensure co-ordination is significantly enhanced between each property.

Focus Hotels, founded in 2007 by Peter Cashman, former director of CHE Hotel Group PLC and fellow board directors Alun Edwards and Tony Mylchreest presently operates 11 three and four-star properties in prime locations across the UK. The group is committed to delivering quality accommodation, offering good value for money, excellent service and ‘home from home’ comfort. To help achieve this Focus Hotels has replaced its ageing, DOS-based PMS with the protel Multi-Property Edition PMS from Xn Hotel Systems. As a central property management system Xn and protel ensures communication between the front office and central reservation and other departments to provide superb service to customers, optimise company-wide information and closely monitor and control all activities and revenues across the entire organisation.

Peter Cashman stated: “We selected Xn and protel after an evaluation of six major vendors and based the decision on the product’s pedigree, richness of functionality across all modules, interfaces to key third parties, centralised options, vendor hosting facilities and references provided by existing customers”.

Xn will implement protel MPE in a fully centralised and hosted multi-property environment across all 11 hotels by November 2009. Additional integrated modules selected include protel Conference and Banqueting and protel Sales and Marketing. Theodore Koumelis - Wednesday, September 30, 2009
