further modernizes guest experiences through unified PMS, booking,
spa, golf, and mobile guest self-service software solutions –
Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading global provider of
hospitality software solutions and services, today announced that
Hamilton Island Enterprises (HIE) has selected a suite of Agilysys
hospitality software solutions to further enhance guest experiences
and support operational efficiencies across the island.
Located in the Whitsunday Islands in the heart of the
world-heritage listed Great Barrier Reef, Hamilton Island is one of
Australia’s most sought-after holiday destinations. With a
year-round tropical climate, an array of world-class dining and
leisure experiences, a vibrant calendar of highly anticipated
events and accommodation options ranging from family-friendly
holiday homes to luxury resorts, Hamilton Island attracts guests
seeking everything from relaxation to adventure.
As part of its ongoing commitment to delivering seamless and
personalised guest experiences, HIE identified an opportunity to
integrate a more flexible and innovative property management system
(PMS) to support its diverse operations, improve efficiency, and
provide a seamless digital journey for both guest and
employees.
Mark Van Santvoort, General Manager of IT for HIE, led the new
PMS evaluation, engaging front-line and back-of-house employees,
management and industry experts to ensure the selected technology
met the needs of both employees and guests.
“Engaging our teams at every level was key to selecting a
solution that truly supports our operations and guest experience,”
said Mr. Van Santvoort. “Our goal was to implement a cost-effective
cloud-native system that is intuitive, adaptable, and enhances both
efficiency and service delivery across the island. Also important
was procuring a system that was supported by training and support
from its software provider,” he added.
Following a rigorous selection process that included detailed
discovery sessions with multiple providers, HIE chose Versa PMS
from Agilysys, along with 10 complementary solutions in the Versa
PMS ecosystem, to enhance operational efficiency and guest
services. These solutions will streamline online and call centre
bookings for accommodation, golf, spa and activities; improve
employee management; and enhance mobile service options, including
on-demand mobile food and beverage ordering, digital check-in and
check-out; digital marketing and document management, and secure
payment handling.
“Through our collaboration with Agilysys, we saw an opportunity
to integrate a suite of advanced, best-in-class software solutions
tailored to the unique needs of our island operations,” Mr. Van
Santvoort said. “By optimising digital interactions and automating
repetitive tasks, we are making it easier for our teams to focus on
delivering the warm, world-class service for which Hamilton Island
is known.”
One of the key advancements of the new system is the ability to
manage bookings and payments across various aspects of the
business, including accommodation, dining, golf, spa, activities
and experiences.
HIE’s selection of Agilysys was strengthened by its longstanding
relationship with the Company as a user of the Agilysys InfoGenesis
Point-of-Sale (POS) system. “The ability to easily integrate our
POS with a next-generation PMS and complementary solutions was a
key factor. Agilysys’ proven support and responsiveness reinforced
our confidence in this partnership,” Mr. Van Santvoort
explained.
“We are proud to partner with Hamilton Island Enterprises in
enhancing the guest and employee experience through innovative
hospitality solutions,” said Tony Marshall, Vice President and
Managing Director, APAC, for Agilysys. “HIE’s commitment to
excellence and operational efficiency makes them an ideal partner
for leveraging our advanced technology to support their vision for
world-class hospitality.”
