What sets Infor HMS apart
1. Detailed guest profiles
Infor HMS centralises all customer data and provides insights supporting the daily tasks of the staff. The system is built to meet the demand of all hotel staff – from front desk clerks, reservation agents, and property managers to finance employees, allowing hotels to create and customise guest-specific packages and demonstrating the lifetime value of a guest right at the point of interaction. Infor HMS provides the same information for the employees that have to work remotely in the same system, with the exact same data.
2. Intuitive user interfaces
Hoteliers are given control to design their own screen layouts. As different properties have different requirements and sales strategies, Infor HMS’s interfaces can easily be customised to best-fit users’ interests and preferences. Plus, it allows users to access all the information they need in just one display, significantly improving productivity.
3. Security
Infor HMS does not rely on any single security device, technique, or practice for data assurance. Instead, Infor HMS employs a “defense-in-depth” strategy to implement multiple layers of overlapping security that safeguard your data through each link of the chain and ensure a high level of solution availability.
Meticulously built and tested by industry experts, Infor HMS is fully compliant with payment card industry and payment application data security (PCI/PA-DSS) standards. Offering only best-practice protocols in the application, network, physical, and operational security, as well as comprehensive monitoring, HMS keeps your data safe and secure.
