Distribution Channel Management & PMS Systems without any CRS - Is that possible ?

Dear Members , the answer is simply YES, the new generation of advanced web-based property management & distribution system combine now the functionalities of a traditional PMS as well as the abilty and features of a CRS.
What will happen to traditional and online distribution channels in hospitality in the next few years? How will the direct web channel outpace competitors and third-party intermediaries? With online travel growing, how do hoteliers get their fair share? These questions reflect important trends in the marketplace. Consider how these trends will impact your hotel, resort, and brand.

Webpmspro (WPP) is one of the first web-based hotel software provider. TDS offers a fully integreated hosted, multi-lingual property management and reservations solution that adresses the challenges of single and multi-property hotel and accommodation providers. The suite of features and functionalities is developed to simplify the management of properties, but also takes the full advantage of the electronic reservations channel. WWP combines tradtional PMS und CRS performance characteristics in one application.

Do any of the programs have a decent banqueting function for revenue optimization? I'd like to know besides Webpmspro what other CRS systems are being used. Amadeuas was coming out with a system and here in US we have a company called IDEAs. Thanks for any info you can provide. Regards, Richard B Evans, CHA CHAE CRMS

Dear Richard, thanks for you comment to my discussion. Basically there might be 3 ways to provide MICE and/or Banquet functionallities :
1.) Standalone local installation application ( with the abilty to interface with existing PMS/CRS System)
2.) Standalone web-based system application ( with the abilty to interface with existing PMS/CRS System)
3.) Fully Integrated web-based application as Module in a web-based PMS/CRS Combi Solution (= WEBMICEpro)

as we are basicly talking here about reservations of product & services on HOURLY and MINUTES based processes, such applications, should enable properties NOT ONLY manage MICE tasks, it should also has the abilty to manage even tasks like for e.g ( Spa and Activity, Restaurant Tables, Courses,lessons,trainings, golf tee times ect.) by using the same application module simply costimzed to the properties needs )

We as WPP are currently working on that WPP Application Module and we would be happy to discuss our project with hotels, properties and or MICE organizations in case to improve our " WebMICEpro " modul.

I will here attach some idea and prototype screenshots.. as discussion items ! Or simply go to our Discussion Forum " Web-based MICE Management - A real challenge or a exciting way to i... " , the idea of the new discussion is to collect ideas, collect requirment of hoteliers and any MICE Organization.
