Aquitaine Hospitality partners with Infor HMS to manage its hotels, residences and restaurants

Aquitaine Hospitality integrates the Infor HMS solution to optimize its business processes. In a difficult context for the hotel and restaurant sectors, the implementation of the solution has several objectives. Indeed, it aims to benefit from high-performance analytical features to keep the head above water during the health crisis. In this sense, Aquitaine Hospitality makes every effort to continue its activity. To this end, it uses solutions dedicated to the tourism, hospitality and restaurant sectors within its 16 establishments. These include hotel residences, student residences, hotels and restaurants. While the partnership with Infor HMS is not new, today it is all the more important for the group strategically in order to look to the future. This partnership accompanies the concept of “Live Hotel”.

Hotel groups in the face of the crisis

The Aquitaine Hospitality brand belongs to the Aquitaine Promotion group. For its part, the Aquitaine promotion group was founded in 2000. In particular, the latter has structured its activities around three major clusters. They focus on real estate and land, catering and finally hotel management. Today, the group is rich with 16 establishments. It therefore has hotel residences, student residences, hotels and restaurants and employs 130 employees.

Over the years, the group and the Aquitaine Hospitality brand have been able to grow. However, in 2020, it was hit hard by the health crisis of COVID-19. It must be said that the crisis has not spared the economy. The tourism sector has been heavily impacted by measures put in place to combat the spread of the virus. Indeed, many establishments such as bars and restaurants had to close their doors as early as March 15, 2020. On the other hand, many accommodations also had to close their doors due to lack of customers in demand.

Thus, since the first measures, which in March 2020 and which have been constantly evolving over the past year, have been in place, the tourism sector is very unstable. For example, according to INSEE in March 2020, in Normandy hotel attendance fell by 54%. This decline is almost equivalent at the national level. This phenomenon has inevitably had an impact on the turnover of the establishments. According to INSEE, hotel sales fell by 58% compared to the previous year. For restaurants, sales fell by 76% in May. In short, while the finding is alarming economic players in the sector such as Aquitaine Hospitality, do not give up. With resilience, they look for solutions to optimize their business and predict better days.

Aquitaine Hospitality chooses to resist with Infor HMS solution

Thus Aquitaine Hospitality, uses the solution Infor HMS. The aim is to manage its establishments more efficiently and flexibly. Strategically, the objective is to be able to manage in an evolutionary way all the operations associated with the hospitality industry. With an agile dimension, the group is modernizing. It relies on a solution that is ready to adapt to the requirements of the trade but also more precisely to the specifics of brand and positioning. On the other hand, the solution chosen is consistent with the difficult context facing the sector. It allows you to rely on critical forecasting models. By considering systemic crises such as COVID-19, it helps the group’s institutions anticipate the future.

Thus, the Infor HMS solution is installed in SaaS mode to support the evolution and operational growth ofAquitaine Hospitality. Infor is a true technology partner for professionals in the hospitality industry. In addition, Aquitaine Hospitality is a support in the implementation of its new hotel concept in the Bordeaux metropolis. These are Live Hotels. This contemporary concept consists of offering establishments with a fully dematerialized reception through mobile applications. For Aquitaine Hospitality this would not have been possible without the input of Infor’s skills. Indeed, this system requires a high-performance technology platform to free the brand from certain constraints.

Thus, Aquitaine Hospitality puts everything in place to maintain its activity taking into account the current context. However, it needs expert skills like Infor HMS to implement innovative and robust solutions. Research and innovation have no limits in entrepreneurial adventure. The times we are currently living in keep reminding us. Today, it is necessary to reinvent ourselves while taking into account the instability of the world.
