InterContinental New
Orleans installs Datavision™ Business Intelligence System
Becomes latest InterContinental Hotel to use Datavision
WESTON, FLA.— (June 9,
2003) Datavision Technologies, a software solutions firm that
specializes in data warehousing and business intelligence systems
for the hospitality industry, recently installed Datavision Business
Intelligence System in the InterContinental New Orleans Hotel. The
hotel joins InterContinental Chicago, Mark Hopkins San Francisco,
Barclay New York and InterContinental Central Park properties to use
Datavision for revenue management and labor control.
Datavision integrates data from the PMS and time clock system into a
single integrated data warehouse, allowing the hotel to access key
information from both systems from a single source. Every day,
Datavision extracts a wealth of data from the PMS including
occupancy and revenue data, detailed revenue transactions and
future-business-on-the-books data, all by market segment. This
allows the revenue manager to effortlessly create occupancy reports,
booking pace, pickup and pyramid reports to analyze the hotel’s
business mix and booking build patterns.
Datavision also extracts daily payroll data from the time clock
system, including regular and overtime hours / dollars by
department, by position and by pay code. The system then
automatically combines the labor data for each department with that
department’s revenue and rooms/covers to generate payroll reports
that show hours, dollars as well as productivity figures such as
payroll cost % revenue, cost per occupied room and cost per cover.
All the PMS and payroll information is combined with budget and
forecast data, and presented to the General Manager, Controller,
Revenue Manager and all department heads via graphical Microsoft
Excel™ reports.
“With Datavision’s Revenue Management Module, we can quickly and
accurately combine historical and future occupancy information to
get a complete picture of how we’ve performed thus far and how the
future looks,” says Scott Dawson, General Manager. “The Labor
Control Module keeps us in touch with the latest payroll data, and
is an important component in helping us control payroll costs. By
delivering revenue management and labor control tools in a single
system, Datavision allows us to proactively affect our bottom line.”
“We are pleased that the InterContinental New Orleans has joined the
growing number of hotels and resorts using Datavision Business
Intelligence System,” says Sudharshan Chary, President of
Datavision. “Independent hotels and resorts and branded properties
alike use Datavision™ to extract key information from all production
systems at the property, including PMS, point-of-sale and
time-and-attendance payroll systems. The system is in the unique
position of being an information provider for all decision-makers in
the company.”
