PHOENIX, Ariz. — May 31, 2017 – SkyTouch Technology, a premier hotel property management system (PMS) provider has entered into an agreement with Whistle, a customer service and communication tool for hotels, in order to give hotel staff the ability to use text messaging and mobile messaging to communicate in real-time with their guests.

“We consistently try to offer new functions and features to the SkyTouch HotelOS®, adding value for our customers,” explained SkyTouch CEO, Todd Davis. “This deal will offer functionality that our customers have been asking for. We make it a point to listen to our customers and deliver on their needs.”

With Whistle, hotels using SkyTouch can message their guests in real-time via SMS & mobile message communication. This is especially practical for the majority of travelers who now carry smartphones with text and mobile messaging capabilities.
