The hotel PMS remains the most significant technology impacting operations, especially in today's highly competitive labor market. With Stayntouch 2.0, hotels can rely on one trusted vendor to deliver a fully integrated technology stack that includes:

Stayntouch PMS: Easy to use and easy to train on, the flexible and cloud-native PMS solution now offers an improved group module, advanced allowance and packages functionality, and enhanced multi-property features. Hotels can deliver better service with a fully mobile platform, robust automation, mobile guest check-in, and automated upsells that drive real ROI.
Chain Management: Now, hotel groups, brands, and management companies can seamlessly manage their entire chain, while delivering on unique concepts and service standards. Stayntouch's Chain Management features an intuitive Chain Dashboard that allows hotels to easily switch between chain, group, and individual property viewpoints while managing availability across the entire brand.
Stayntouch Pay: Hotels can now cut out the middlemen and leverage a secure end-to-end payment solution that's fully integrated with their PMS. Stayntouch Pay handles every aspect of payment facilitation, including processing, acquisition, and settlement — delivering one transparent bill with no hidden fees and direct priority support.
Stayntouch Booking Engine: With a mobile optimized, easy-to-build, and customizable booking page, hotels can streamline the guest booking experience and drive direct bookings.
Channel Manager: By optimizing all hotels' booking channels, the channel manager enables hotels to scale their business globally. With turnkey access to leading OTAs and travel agents, hotels can diversify their revenue, capture high-value bookings, increase occupancy, and eliminate double bookings.
Stayntouch Kiosk: With a sleek and fully customizable check-in kiosk, hotels can reinvent their lobby into a guest-centric space for socializing, dining, and coworking. Innovative hotels can remove the front desk altogether and reimagine the guest's welcome and departure experience.

"Our goal at Stayntouch is to provide more control over the hotel experience for travelers and hotel operators, and I am proud that Stayntouch is debuting key new additions to its technology suite that will do just that," said Dan Hogan, Chief Product Officer at Stayntouch.
