You know SHR always brings it to whatever we do and wherever we go. What are we bringing to this year’s shows? Stop by booth #1434 for a better hotel technology experience, plus….

Introducing Wave RMS!

Nicole Adair, Director of Revenue Management Services, will be introducing our new revenue management tool, Wave RMS.

Created with Revenue Managers in mind, Wave offers the best of AI with a human touch, allowing you to break free from having to solely trust the ‘black box’ you’re normally bound to by traditional revenue management systems. Wave not only provides more consistently reliable data for better decisions, but also manages day-to-day pricing adjustments so you can focus on overall strategy—and get back to running your hotel.

HOT New Windsurfer Features and Integrations!

Because Windsurfer is all about the hotelier, it just keeps getting better and better.
What’s new now? For starters….

SiteConnect

SHR is now integrated with SiteMinder’s SiteConnect product, allowing the channel manager to also send Availability, Rates and Inventory to the CRS. With this connectivity, SiteMinder will effectively act as the PMS between the hotel and Windsurfer. Having this connection will allow SHR to better-serve those hoteliers using more niche or regional based PMS systems.

Screen Reader Enabled Booking Engine
The Windsurfer Booking Engine now offers a “Screen Reader Mode.” When a guest, using a screen reader, arrives on the Windsurfer Booking Engine, they are prompted if they want to “Enable Screen Reader Mode."

apaleo PMS

The apaleo PMS is a rich cloud-based platform that allows for users to take control of their PMS experience. apaleo has an Open API which allows hoteliers to create custom developments into the PMS based off their unique needs. In addition, they house an app store format allowing users to pick and choose various features that can be used for the business.

Come by booth #1434 to find out more, and to sign up for your free Windsurfer demo!
