Australia: RMS Cloud has won a tender to become the sole property management system for The Ascott Limited.
A pilot scheme commenced in early 2018 with three Ascott properties in Singapore, China and France. The global rollout commenced in March 2019 across 30 countries.
This included RMS‘ property management, central reservations, distribution and built-in channel manager technology to support online bookings, maintain channel management and operate a front office system in a single application. The rollout is expected to be completed in May 2020.
RMS founder and managing director Peter Buttigieg said: “We are very excited to be working with Ascott – they are a great company with big plans and we look forward to growing with them. Our global partnership with Ascott will also enable us to accelerate the development of our technology, something that will benefit all our users,” he said.
Alfred Ong, Ascott’s head for global operations, said: “Moving into Cloud is one of our digital initiatives to support Ascott’s fast-growing business. Ascott achieved record growth last year, crossing 100,000 units globally. We expect to continue with this strong growth momentum to achieve our target of 160,000 units worldwide by 2023. As we expand, we need systems that are scalable and RMS’ solution meets this requirement.”</p
