Hotel efficiency relies in part on how easy it is to navigate your property management system (PMS) software. The quicker hotel staff can learn and use your PMS, the quicker you can serve guests during their stay and make a good impression. Our new onscreen guidance companion, Porter, will help you do that. But first, let’s dive into what an Onscreen Guidance tool is.
What is an Onscreen Guidance Tool?
An onscreen guidance tool is a software system feature that provides users with real-time assistance. Specifically for hotels using a Property Management System (PMS), this tool helps streamline operations by reducing the learning curve for staff, increasing efficiency, and minimizing errors. By improving PMS usage, hotels can enhance staff productivity and deliver a smoother guest experience.
Now that we’ve explored the concept of onscreen guidance tools and their significance in hotel operations, let’s delve into how Porter, our innovative onscreen guidance companion, can revolutionize how hotels navigate their Property Management System (PMS) software. Let’s discover how Porter can empower your hotel to achieve new levels of efficiency and guest satisfaction.
