5 Advantages to Deploying an Easy-to-use & Cloud Native PMS
A hotel PMS exists to facilitate great hospitality 一 not to restrain your business or its operations. Unfortunately, on-site legacy systems require significant maintenance, upgrade and integration costs just to remain functional and technologically up to date….This burden should be removed from PMS ownership, making it easy for a hotel’s PMS to grow with its business.

1. Seamless Transition from Legacy to Modern Technology
Switching to a new PMS is an enormous decision, which must be undertaken with minimal disruption to a hotel’s business, operations and it’s guest experience. That’s why Stayntouch takes holistic approach to ensure that researching, implementing and operating its native-cloud PMS is as easy and unburdened as possible.
As a fully mobile and cloud native PMS hosted on Amazon AWS, Stayntouch can run on any device that has an internet connection, including tablets and smartphones. This radically simplifies onboarding because hotels will never have to physically install complicated servers or bulky desktop portals. And once the PMS is up and running, its Amazon AWS foundation will deliver unmatched speed, performance, and reliability, boasting 99.97% uptime and no scheduled downtime for server maintenance.

"For me, the most important factor in selecting a PMS is reliability and round-the-clock stability. Stayntouch PMS is incredibly reliable, allowing our staff to deliver exemplary service without distraction and without interruption."
2. Experience an Unburdened Implementation Process
An unburdened implementation process starts with a dedicated implementation team that delivers a streamlined installation and a comprehensive training program to ensure that your hotel can get the most out of its new PMS. With Stayntouch, hotels can complete a full implementation in days rather than months, with minimal disruption to their business or guest experience.
When deploying a new PMS, hoteliers should also be given the option of an in-person or remote implementation, to accommodate properties who wish to lesson physical contact on property. Remote implementation is a workable solution when you have a cloud based PMS, as it is not necessary to be on-property to complete configuration of the PMS. Either way, the implementation team should be there at every stage of the onboarding process, proactively working with the client to address issues, and share online tools and tutorials. The implementation team needs to be especially responsive during the onboarding process, offering resources within 24 hours 一 and ideally within the same hour.
3. Train Your Staff in Mere Days, Rather than Months
With a color-coded and intuitive user interface, advanced ‘select-and-click’ and ‘drag-and-drop’ features, and robust automation, Stayntouch PMS is incredibly easy to use 一 and easy to train on. This can help hotel operations navigate a post-pandemic era marked by reduced resources and limited labor pools. An intuitive UI lets hotel operators and managers widen their hiring pool to focus on applicants who truly excel at serving guests, not just those who ‘get’ cumbersome and outdated software.
And once they’re hired, new hoteliers can take advantage of an extensive library of self-directed eLearning courses, best practice materials, and comprehensive product documents to get up to speed as quickly as possible. In fact, with Stayntouch PMS, it typically takes only 90 min to train staff on each module, and your front desk agents can be fully trained in as little as 2 days.
4. A PMS That Easily Scales With Your Business
A hotel PMS exists to facilitate great hospitality 一 not to restrain your business or its operations. Unfortunately, on-site legacy systems require significant maintenance, upgrade and integration costs just to remain functional and technologically up to date. It’s no wonder then, that most companies spend over three-quarters of their IT budgets just to maintain their current software and infrastructure.
This burden should be removed from PMS ownership, making it easy for a hotel’s PMS to grow with its business. That’s why in addition to world-class reliability, Stayntouch clients receive free automatic software upgrades every 3 weeks at no additional cost and with no downtime to their service. Stayntouch PMS also makes it easy to expand your portfolio, with comprehensive and easily accessible multi-party management, and system performance that automatically scales with increased usage.
