New Website Offers Hoteliers 'Birds-Eye-View' of Property Data

Inn at a Glance, a web-based dashboard that keeps hoteliers connected to manage their property was launched yesterday. Inn at a Glance was developed by LMA Communications Inc., a hospitality communications and consulting firm.

This web-based, accommodation dashboard tool provides immediate access to typical planning committee data. Inn at a Glance can replace printed reports, reducing paperwork and improving communication between departments. With its simplified single portal to all operational areas, owners, general managers and department heads are able to see a 'bird's-eye' view of their property, thereby improving guest service levels.

With Inn at a Glance, you stay connected 24/7 whether you're on or off-site. Some of the features include:

• One single screen view of details on who is in-house, number of rooms turning, guest occupancy, and channel breakdown;
• Access to all advertising and promotional material available to guests;
• Individual department notepads;
• Group, VIP, and out of order notifications.

Introductory pricing has been set at $2,499, with a 30-day free trial and no monthly payments through the end of 2010. No special equipment is required; the software's only requirement is a web browser and Internet access.
