InterCloud

Hotels & Resorts

Rooms, outlets and the back office
kept in one set of records

Hotels, resorts and hospitality groups serve guests at every hour while front office, restaurants, housekeeping, purchasing and accounting each keep their own figures. InterCloud implements and operates the property management, finance, purchasing and payroll platform, the websites and the monitoring that let a property close each day with numbers its managers can rely on.

Challenges

Challenges in Hotels and Hospitality

  • Separate systems in one property

    Front office, restaurants, spa, events and accounting often run on different systems. Revenue is re-keyed between them at the night audit, and differences are found only at the month end.

  • Several properties, one group

    Each property requires its own result, while the owner requires a consolidated view. Shared services, management fees and transfers between properties must be recorded on both sides.

  • Daily purchasing and stock

    Kitchens, bars and housekeeping consume stock every day. Without controlled purchasing and counts by store, food cost and consumable cost are known only after the period has closed.

  • Shift work and seasonal staffing

    Occupancy changes by season and by day of the week. Staffing must follow it, and attendance, leave and payroll must be correct for permanent and temporary staff in every department.

How We Help

Close Each Day With Figures Every Department Shares

Our Approach

One Platform for the Group, Local Control for Each Property

Each property keeps its own outlets, stores and approvals, while the group shares one chart of accounts, one supplier list and one set of roles. Transactions between properties are recorded once and appear on both sides.

Systems that a property intends to keep are connected through the GlowScale integration hub, APIs and webhooks, so that revenue and purchasing data reach the ledger without re-keying. The scope of each integration is agreed during the design phase.

InterCloud implements the platform, migrates opening balances and master data, trains the teams at each property and remains responsible for operation and support after the opening day.

  • Property management, finance and purchasing on one platform
  • Intercompany accounting and consolidation across properties
  • Point of sale and stock control for outlets and stores
  • Deployment in the cloud, in a private cloud or on-premise

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does GlowScale include property management for hotels?

Yes. The Hotel pack adds property management for hotels to GlowScale. It works with the same finance, purchasing, inventory, point of sale and HR modules, so each department works from the same records.

Can each property manage its own website?

Yes. Orbio supports many sites on one platform with shared templates and branding, while each property has its own editors and approval workflow.

Can the platform run in our own data center?

Yes. GlowScale is offered in the cloud operated by InterCloud, in a private cloud as a dedicated environment, or on-premise in your own data center.
