About Carnarvon Motel

Set up in 2015, Carnarvon Motel is a family-friendly motel in the heart of the picturesque Gascoyne region in Australia. The motel has been successfully using Hotelogix for almost three years now.

Scenario and Challenges

Prior to using Hotelogix, Carnarvon Motel has an on-premise PMS in place. The biggest challenge they faced with this system was that they couldn’t integrate with a Channel Manager, which was a massive disadvantage for the Motel.

Some of the other challenges they faced were:

• They didn’t have remote access to their hotel’s data
• No real-time update of inventory and rates across OTAs
• Limited reporting and accounting options
• Loss of several man-hours, as operations were not automated
• Inability to handle high volume of work during peak seasons
