The company has now launchedits new “RevPlan” software package, acloud-based module built to complementits flagship RMS products. The module isdesigned to take the pain out of budgetingand forecasting a hotel's total business,including food and beverage outlets.Until now, hotels have relied on manualforecasting and data collection to planoperations for their total business.This error-prone, time-consumingprocess leads to inefficient labour costs,siloed decision-making and smaller profits.Sanjay Nagalia, co-founder andChief Operating Officer, IDeaS,said, "While others talk about the futureof hotel technology, for the past 30years, IDeaS has invented it. Hoteliersface many challenges when it comes tothe planning and budgeting of their totalbusiness. Essential data is spread outand isolated, the manual process is proneto errors and non-rooms revenue is left onthe side-lines. That's why we developedRevPlan, a budgeting and planning solutionbuilt for and by hoteliers"Sanjay NagaliaCo-founderand Chief Operating Officer,IDeaSITB BERLIN NEWS • THURSDAY 19 TH MARCH 2020 • 9
