Visual Matrix PMS software and MOP - Frequently Asked Questions

Hotel PMS software, or property management software, is an important tool for hotels and other hospitality businesses. It is a software system that helps businesses manage their front-of-house operations, such as reservations, check-ins, check-outs, room management, and billing. It also helps businesses to keep track of their back-of-house operations, such as inventory, housekeeping, maintenance, and accounting.

Hotel PMS Software is designed to streamline and automate the day-to-day operations of hotels, freeing up time and resources to focus on other aspects of the business.

Visual Matrix hotel PMS software is built by hoteliers with a platform approach, bringing you simple yet powerful integrations that provide everything you need to do more with less while improving guest satisfaction. MOP is an app that is fully integrated with our PMS software but can also but used as a standalone app to manage housekeeping and maintenance tasks, access reports, and keep your whole team safe with a built-in Panic Button (Emergency Safety Device), from wherever you are.

There are a variety of PMS software solutions available for hotels. Here are some of the most common types of PMS software:

Migration to VM Cloud PMS software normally costs $1190. However, if you choose to sign up for EMV with Fortis or Shift4 payment processing, your migration fees will be waived.  

Migrating from Desktop to cloud is simply moving your hotel data from on-site computers to secure data centers in the cloud. In addition to the new features and functionality we are building into Visual Matrix Cloud PMS software, data is backed up and kept secure automatically and you can access and manage your property from anywhere.
 

Migration normally takes about 2-3 hours on the day it is scheduled.

If you choose this option, you will be assigned to a member of our Implementation Team to guide you through the process.

Not necessarily.  The specifications for Visual Matrix Desktop and Visual Matrix Cloud hotel PMS software are very similar. You can find the full list of system requirements here.

When you switch to the cloud PMS software, we will support you through the entire process of migration. The solution you choose will determine what type of support is continued at your property after the migration.
