"Before partnering with ProfitSword, we only had the resources to measure performance on a monthly basis, but with ProfitSage seamlessly integrated with all of our systems, the process has now become an effortless daily routine. This enables each team member to look at their data in a whole new way, with more effective forecasting and budgeting capabilities, thanks to options that include analyzing information based on an individual hotel, regional or company-wide perspective. Users can even compare brand-vs-brand, property-vs-property or class-vs-class, which has allowed us to identify several opportunities for improvement."

Providing each staff member with varying levels of data access depending on their role and responsibilities, ProfitSage ensures that any performance data supplied is always relevant to specific applications. Further enhancing TPI Hospitality's efficiency is the ability to schedule and receive automated reports, instantly providing up-to-date performance information with little to no effort on the part of staff.
