Executive summary

Established in Leeds in 2006, the serviced apartment brand has quickly grown to 11 properties across eight locations and offers the quality and reliability of a hotel with the comfort of a home to guests predominantly looking for longer stays. 

Having outgrown its previous PMS and held back by multiple manual processes, UK-based aparthotel operator Roomzzz switched to RMS and increased its automated payments by 300% while decentralising several operational processes, considerably improving employee satisfaction.

The integrated payment solution, RMS Pay, was a really big one for us. A large proportion of our clients need to pay for their accommodation a week before check-in and we had no way to securely facilitate that.

Challenges

  • Roomzzz had quickly outgrown its previous PMS solution. Payments were also mostly manual: just 10% of payments were automated, with reservation staff manually processing the rest.

  • A large proportion of clients needed to pay for their accommodation a week before check-in and Roomzzz was not able to facilitate that securely.

  • The VAT drop was another cumbersome process for Roomzzz’s teams. Up to 60% of Roomzzz’ guests book for over 28 nights, requiring to manually drop the VAT on every night booked.

Since the integration of RMS, we have also been able to give back a number of processes to each property, something that wasn’t possible beforehand because the technology was too complicated.
