The leading management all-in-one software which caters for all the functional areas within the hospitality industry in a manner that ensures operational efficiency, elimination of data manipulation and guest satisfaction has finally gotten to the shores of Ghana. The WINHMS software, manufactured by Indian-based Winsar Infosoft PVT Limited and brought to Ghana by OurGhana Limited, is a complete set of hotel management system (HMS), designed to synchronize and standardize all essential activities of medium and large sized hotels and properties. A statement from OurGhana Limited said WINHMS, manufactured by Indian-based Winsar Infosoft PVT Limited, could manage between 3-5 Star hotels, regulate large hotel chains efficiently, and cover the needs of all key departments for better monitoring and control. “WINHMS is designed to meet the age long quest of hoteliers for an effective and efficient system that will ensure better revenue management; cost optimization and enhancement of profit. For instance the software has no room for manual data entry and manipulation of inventories which culminate into huge loss to hoteliers,” the statement said. WINHMS is thus complete hospitality enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that integrates all operational modules and links them up to accounts module on a real time mode and therefore makes visible all activities ongoing in sales at front desk and other departments within hotel, for instance. It has become popularly known as the hotelier friend among many hotels such as Holiday Inn, Courtyard, Fairmont, Movenpick, Accord and many others in 16 countries including India, Ireland, Switzerland, Tanzania, Maldives, Saudi Arabia Djibouti, Oman, Kuwait, Muscat, Bangladesh, Mauritius, Uganda, and Qatar among others around the world. According to the statement, WINHMS has seven levels of data security using password and user privileges, adding “it therefore ensures among other things that, any amendment or cancelation of transactions are duly recorded with both old and new values; the system thus provides Audit Report on all activities and exposes users who may be manipulating data on the blind side of management.” The statement noted that because WINHMS is all-in-one hospitality industry ERP software, it deals effectively with many of the challenges facing the industry, and provide ready solutions to challenges that have plagued the industry for years now. Industry players have had to install multiple hardware and software and create several databases to manage different aspects of their operations, and in that regard they have also had to deal with multiple vendors to supply the various solutions for their operations. Again, the other top software on the market do not have embedded systems for managing Spa, Golf, Engineering, Payroll, HR, Clubs, Accounts, and many other aspects of hotel and hospitality industry operations, and there is also no opportunity for upgrade of existing software when there is expansion in the business. But according to the statement from OurGhana, WINHMS provides all the missing management systems in other software, and also provides the opportunity for upgrade when the business expands, adding that it has completely eliminated data manipulation, and also allows for easy learning of newly introduced modules. “WINHMS is open for customization whereas others on the market do not and all of its modules comply with the 24/7 real time processing needs of the industry, unlike others on the market,” it said. The statement noted that WINHMS do have other features that other system on the market lack, but it is competitively priced and it comes in six different modules, WINHMS Express- for small properties/resorts/service apartments, WINHMS Professional – for 3 Star and 4 Star deluxe hotels/big resorts, WINHMS Enterprises – for 4 Star and above as well as hotel groups, WIN CRS – for web based central reservation system, WINSPA, which is a Spa management software, and WINGOLF for Golf Management.
