Visual One PMS by Agilysys is a reliable property management solution that is installed in hotels ranging from 50 rooms and up. Though the software is perfect for resorts and corporate hotels, Visual One PMS is especially powerful in a conference center environment when used in conjunction with the Visual One Sales & Catering System by Agilysys. The hotel and sales & catering systems are not just interfaced; they're fully-integrated because they use the same database, providing real-time information exchanges between your front office and sales offices.

By adding the Visual One Restaurant System by Agilysys and the Visual One Accounting System by Agilysys, your hotel will own the most powerful management tool in the Hospitality Industry. Operating under Microsoft Windows NT with a Microsoft SQL Server database, the Visual One Hotel System takes advantage of the latest Microsoft products such as Word (for mailing lists), Excel (for creating graphs and charts) and even Microsoft Fax for sending reservation confirmations to guests. All of Visual One's data is available to you, the user, for creating customized reports using, for example, Seagate's Crystal Report Writer.

The Visual One Accounting system by Agilysys includes accounts receivable, accounts payable, general ledger, purchase order, condominium, club modules, and bank statement (check) reconciliation.

And, Accounts Payable can track guest activity costs from third-party vendors for billing reconciliation. Or, within Accounts Receivable, you can drill-down to the details of a guest folio or restaurant check. Of course, all revenues from Visual One PMS, Sales & Catering, Restaurant, Spa, and Golf are automatically integrated with Visual One Receivables and General Ledger.

Staff can code complimentary services at the point of reservation, at check out or at any other time during the guest’s stay and instantly validate the authorization for the comp.

The Visual One Condo Accounting module by Agilysyswas designed to quickly and easily calculate the revenues, expenses and profit sharing between condo owners and the management company, as well as providing a variety of reports.

Working in conjunction with the Visual One Accounts Receivable (AR) module by Agilysys, you can access all of the functionality of the AR module, such as direct billing owners for charges they accumulate during their stay and easily charging users other expenses related to owning the condo unit. Along with all of the reports in AR, the user can access a number of reports to easily keep track of charges and credits to the condo owners.

The basis for the Condo Accounting module is the automatic calculation of the appropriate commission percentage(s) for the management company for the appropriate revenue post types being shared and then making the entries into an accounting batch in both the general ledger and the accounts receivable ledger to the condo owners. These numbers are automatically calculated during the night audit along with the day's activity. These calculations can also be recalculated at any time for any past date.

Along with this automatic breakout of commissioned revenues, a number of reports exist for both the owner and the management company to quickly analyze the profitability of a condo and the various expenses appropriated to the condos. The combination of functionality and reports greatly reduces the time necessary for an accounting staff to calculate, distribute and report the revenues and expenses to condo owners.
The Guest eMarketing (GeM) solution is designed to provide advanced functionality for HTML-based guest correspondence, advertising and marketing campaigns, and customer surveys-all with built-in statistical tracking stored for user analysis. Hotel staff members access the GeM solution via the eMarketing server control and set parameters for confirmation emails or marketing campaign blasts based on a schedule preset. The eMarketing internal server control continuously reviews reservations in Visual One PMS that meet user-defined parameters and sends emails accordingly to property clients. An eMarketing external server records hits or views generated by guests opening emails or clicking embedded links. The external server also stores reporting statistics for emails sent out from the property. At all times, eMarketing functions are controlled separately by the eMarketing servers and do not affect the property's internal email server.

Key Features of the eMarketing Solution include:
  • Advanced e-mail functionality
  • Customer surveys
  • Automatic statistic tracking
