Hotels of all sizes are migrating to the cloud to reduce costs, streamline processes, and improve efficiencies. The need for a full-featured and agile PMS tool is especially vital for hotels experiencing strong growth. This was the case for Cobblestone Hotels, franchisors of Cobblestone Inn & Suites and Boarders Inn & Suites, who recently selected the Skytouch Hotel OS platform as a property management solution equipped to grow along with their rapidly expanding needs.
Since opening its first property in 2008, Cobblestone is now considered to be the leading franchise company in growth within its industry. Similarly, the SkyTouch Hotel OS platform is the most widely used cloud hotel property management system in the industry, serving more than 5,700 hotels and more than 58,000 users around the globe. With 51 hotels currently open, Cobblestone’s aggressive growth plans include 13 Cobblestone properties under construction and 50 more under development in 13 states.
“Our main goal at Cobblestone is to offer value to our franchisees—and that means we need to bring them cost-effective solutions that help them drive revenue and increase efficiency,” says Brian Wogernese, CEO of Cobblestone Hotels. “To be successful in today’s market, it is imperative to seek out emerging technology solutions with a proven track record. In selecting SkyTouch, we’ve picked a long-term cloud PMS partner whose system has the functionality and capability to evolve along with our rapidly changing needs. This is particularly essential given the aggressive growth plans we have in place and our need to provide franchisees with one superior solution to help them manage their properties better, smarter, and more cost-effectively.”
Cobblestone has already implemented the SkyTouch Hotel OS (PMS) system into all of its new hotels and will begin implementation into existing franchise properties in the first quarter of 2015. The SkyTouch Hotel OS is engineered to grow in scalability and features, with the ability to customize and evolve key functions in order to meet the expanding needs of Cobblestone and other high-growth growth customers.
“SkyTouch is well-positioned to meet the needs of a growing company like Cobblestone,” says SkyTouch VP of Sales, Shane Platt. “We are able to meet their custom needs today and we’re excited to be able to maintain alignment with this forward-looking organization and stay one-step ahead of needs they may not yet have but will in the future. ”
As both companies remain aligned for growth, SkyTouch and Cobblestone Hotels look forward to working together long-term to serve the evolving needs of Cobblestone franchisees — while setting an industry-wide example of technological innovation and collaboration at work within the hospitality marketplace.
