Amadeus is to expand its sales and catering
offering to the hotel industry following the acquisition of Hotel
SystemsPro by Newmarket, an Amadeus company.
An U.S.-based provider of sales, catering and
maintenance software to the hotel and hospitality industry, Hotel
SystemsPro delivers ASP-based enterprise and property solutions to
more than 4,500 hotels in North America and beyond.
The acquisition, which will see Hotel SystemsPro
formally integrated into Newmarket, will complement Newmarket’s
existing market reach and expand its overall product offering
whilst generating new business opportunities across the Hotel SystemsPro customer base.
Hotel SystemsPro’s flagship
product, hotel SalesPro works to automate the entire sales
administration and catering delivery process, increasing sales
efficiency and customer service at hospitality venues – with a
specific focus on mid-tier properties.
“The combined hotel
sales and catering space offers immense potential to drive
increased value to our customers. With an addressable market of
close to $5 billion across the larger hospitality sector, and with
between 10% and 50% of hotel revenues typically coming from group
and events business, depending on their profile, this is clearly a
big opportunity for hotels as they seek to better optimise this
area of their business,” said Jeff Hiscox, CEO of Newmarket. “Hotel SystemsPro’s suite
of products fits perfectly with our overall sales and catering
solution set, which is also an important component of our broader
strategic end-to-end IT vision for hotels”.
