Agilysys,
Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative hospitality
software solutions and services, today announced that Resorts World
Bimini has selected the Agilysys
Lodging Management System® (LMS) and the Agilysys
Visual One™ Condo Accounting System to streamline operations and
provide comprehensive condominium management at the 480-unit Bahamas
resort. A new 326-room luxury hotel, scheduled to open in June, also
will use LMS®.
"When shopping for new technology, we had very specific criteria," said
Chad Mostats, vice president of information technology at Resorts World
Bimini. "First and foremost, we needed solutions that could manage our
rather complex lodging mix, and the combination of LMS and Visual One
Condo Accounting provided the complete package. We also wanted to work
with a company that could grow with us and serve as a trusted advisor.
Agilysys is a leader in both the gaming and resort markets, and they
immediately understood our unique needs. We are confident our
partnership will result in a more efficient operation and the delivery
of world-class guest service."
LMS is a comprehensive property management solution that leverages Web
services to deliver maximum flexibility and ease of use. Recognized as
one of the hospitality industry's most powerful and fully featured
property management systems, LMS automates every aspect of hotel
operations — from reservations and credit card processing to accounting
and housekeeping. Its versatile foundation easily expands to incorporate
modules for activities scheduling, attraction ticketing, food and
beverage sales, online reservations and more. LMS also interfaces guest
player accounts to the hotel booking engine for evaluating comp
decisions.
The Visual One Condo Accounting System is a made-for-hospitality
solution that enables a resort's condominium units to be reserved as
hotel rooms. Owner information is readily available to LMS users and
defaults from the Visual One Condo Accounting System when staff make a
reservation for a condominium owner. The module calculates expenses and
revenue and provides a variety of monthly reports that enable properties
to oversee the financial positions of both the management company and
condo owners. The solution is ideal for properties that have a mix of
condominium units and hotel rooms, allowing both to be part of the same
reservation system.
"The integration of the Visual One Condo Accounting System with LMS
enables properties that offer condominium ownership and rental along
with traditional hotel accommodations to manage the mix more
effectively," said Tony Ross, vice president of sales for Agilysys. "The
combination of functionality and reporting significantly reduces the
time required for resort staff to calculate and report revenues and
expenses to condo owners, and the sharing of data across applications
streamlines the reservation process. This technology will maximize
efficiency and productivity at Resorts World Bimini, allowing the
property to focus its efforts on providing exceptional service and
making lasting connections with guests."
Resorts World Bimini is operated by the Genting Group, a global company
founded in 1965 and the world's largest destination resorts operator.
Genting has Resorts World-branded properties in Asia, Europe, North
America and on all four oceans through a 50 percent ownership of
Norwegian Cruise Line and Star Cruises brands. Genting's international
strategic partners include Universal Studios and Simon Property. The
company has a combined market capitalization of $45 billion and employs
more than 50,000 people worldwide.
