Mobile-Optimized Software Provides Valuable BI for Hotel Group

Highpointe Hotel Corporation and Texas Western Hospitality will be incorporating Execuvue from Aptech into their management strategies. The companies value the mobile convenience as well as the freedom that comes from Aptech hosting its solution. Execuvue is a cloud-based business intelligence system for all mobile and desktop formats. Compatible mobile devices include smart phones, tablets, and laptops.  

 

Execuvue Version 10.1.1 is ideal for traveling hotel executives and adaptable for all wireless platforms from iPad to Android, handheld to tablet. Users gain fingertip access to data for individual properties, divisions, or corporate rollup analysis direct from the cloud. In addition, Execuvue’s Active Report capability allows users who are disconnected from the system to interact with the reports.

 

For Florida-based Highpointe Hotel Corporation, pushing BI results to executive iPads makes perfect sense. Highpointe’s BI system upgrade will also relieve its corporate team from system responsibility and provide greater data security. An added advantage of the remotely-hosted BI strategy is that Aptech can easily pull operating information from Highpointe’s Hilton and Marriott properties, as well as from Smith Travel Research’s files, and consolidate it in one place where Execuvue can analyze it.

 

Aptech’s hosting service frees Texas Western from system responsibility

Dallas-based Texas Western Hospitality wanted a central, globally-accessed BI data warehouse, but it had not considered where its system would be located. The firm operates 53 Marriott and Hilton full-service and select-service properties in seven states. Until recently, its executives received most property data via email, faxes, and hand-coded Excel spreadsheet reports for managers and owners.

 

The company’s hotel software requirements included automatic downloading of property performance metrics from its Hilton OnQ and Marriott PMSes daily, as well as merging the data with labor numbers, Smith Travel Research output, and a variety of other information from TW’s corporate accounting system.
