Preno’s All-In-One bundle + Xero integration (+ more) is the complete tech stack that every hotel needs. Here’s how…
Preno PMS: saving hoteliers time with simplification & automation
As a cloud-based property management software, Preno is designed to centralize hotel operations. Preno’s PMS is the core functionality of a hotel property.
It integrates front and back office, housekeeping, hotel restaurant management, and more – it connects and syncs information all in one easy-to-access, easy-to-use place. Preno significantly reduces administration, providing hoteliers with automated tools.
And because it is a cloud-based hotel software, it is accessible from anywhere, at any time, from any device. Hotel staff can simply log in on their mobile, tablet, or computer and organize reservations, review reports, update housekeeping on the cleanliness of rooms, and more.
With Preno, there is no need to be an expert in software – it is designed with a user-friendly interface so that hoteliers can jump in and be up to speed in less than 20 minutes. It is intuitive, it is fast and it is comprehensive. Preno also generates automated reports, so that hoteliers can keep track of past and present performance, in order to make proactive improvements to their business, and prepare for the future.
Preno Channel Manager: connecting hoteliers with 50+ OTAs
Seamlessly connecting you with more than 50 of the travel industry’s most popular online travel agents, Preno’s Channel Manager broadens your guest reach.
With a powerful integration to Preno’s core PMS, its Channel Manager provides the efficiency of hotel reservations, along with real-time updates of availability and bookings.
If a guest books with an accommodation via Booking.com, Expedia, or any of the other top OTAs, Preno’s Channel Manager will instantly sync reservation data to the Preno PMS. This will also provide real-time updates across all channels, ensuring that availability is up to date; minimizing the risk of overbookings.
With Preno’s Channel Manager, hoteliers can grow their bookings and their business. With a wider, more comprehensive reach, this product helps increase hotel revenue.
Preno Booking Engine: increasing hotel revenue with direct bookings
Another key product, a part of Preno’s hotel tech stack, is a hotel Booking Engine. This tool provides hoteliers with the ability to collect hotel reservations directly via their website (virtual “shop front”). With this, hoteliers can avoid the fees associated with OTAs, and collect direct revenue from guests.
Preno’s Booking Engine also provides hoteliers with more accurate guest details, than OTAs, which will automatically sync into Preno’s core PMS. With this, hoteliers can build comprehensive guest profiles in Preno, and remember guest preferences (e.g. favorite coffee), to personalize their experience during their next visit.
This tool is mobile optimized, and is much more time-efficient and automated than an inquiry form that many hoteliers have on their websites. It works by simply embedding a booking button on a hotel’s website, and they’re instantly open for business.
Preno + Xero Integration: connecting front office admin with back office accounting
A world-class Xero + PMS integration, unlike any other, Preno + Xero work seamlessly together, eliminating the gap between front office admin and back office accounting.
With Preno and Xero, hoteliers are able to access all of their accounting, guest and reservation details in one simple place. From comprehensive invoicing, to agent commissions, to billing deposits – Preno’s integration with Xero provides the accounting tools every hotel business needs.
This integration saves invaluable time – up to 10 hours per week – as it bridges the gap between hotel admin and accounting. It provides hoteliers with automated tools that generate invoices, that are easy to access and understand. Preno and Xero’s integration is clear-cut and seamless.
Preno + Lightspeed Kounta POS Integration: enabling bill to room for hotel restaurants
Preno’s integration with Lightspeed Kounta POS, provides hoteliers with the tools to integrate front office with their hotel restaurant and bar.
Lightspeed Kounta is a point of sale system that hoteliers can use to process payments in their hotel restaurant and bar. Integrating Lightspeed Kounta POS with Preno, provides hoteliers with the functionality to bill guest invoices to their room. This way, when a guest checks out, Preno will automatically generate a complete invoice – including accommodation costs, restaurant bills, and more.
This tool provides hoteliers with simplicity and ease, because they have the flexibility to ‘bill to room’ – not to mention it saves valuable time. The integration provides hoteliers with easy access to point of sale data, the ability to customize the guest experience (e.g. some guests might prefer to pay direct, or bill to room) and it also allows hoteliers to take payment orders from anywhere (at any time, from any device).
Preno + Stripe Integration: providing secure credit card & payment processing
Connecting hoteliers with a safe and secure platform to process payments and store guest credit card details, Preno’s integration with Stripe is another crucial tool that contributes to the best hotel tech stack.
Hoteliers process innumerable guest credit cards on a daily basis, so they need the tools and security to do so. Preno’s integration with Payment Gateway software Stripe, provides this. It allows hoteliers to charge guests directly from within Preno, and provides flexibility to refund or charge guests even when they are not in front of you (as you have the secure platform to charge their credit card details).
By optimizing Preno and Stripes integration, hoteliers do not need to use an eftpos machine to process credit card payments.
Preno + Wishbox Integration: improving the guest experience with automation
Offering hoteliers a complete suite of tools (as a part of their hotel tech stack) to provide a seamless and personalized guest experience, is Preno’s integration with Wishbox.
Wishbox is a guest experience software that advances hotel services for guests. From self-check-in functionalities to connections to Whatsapp messaging, email automation and text-based upselling – Wishbox, with Preno, opens the doors to an abundance of guest experience opportunities.
As the market currently sits, hoteliers are searching for unique ways to not only remain competitive but adjust to new industry “norms” (e.g. self-check-ins due to the pandemic). Preno’s integration with Wishbox provides this flexibility so that hoteliers can go further to not only accommodate but impress their guests.
Advancing hotel efficiency & growth with smart software: Preno’s hotel tech stack
The hotel industry is not only competitive, but comprehensive – there are a variety of tasks, departments, and hospitality trends to organize and keep up with. Having a strong hotel tech stack (in addition to innovative hotel strategies) is crucial to both hotel efficiency and growth.
With Preno, hoteliers are set up with a smart system that acts as the core functionality of their business and connects with all areas of a hotel, as well as integrates with third parties – all crucial elements to a hotel’s growth.
