Executive summary

The Ascott Limited, a global leader in the serviced residence and hotel industry with over 30 years of experience, sought to scale its operations and unify its global strategy to support rapid expansion. With a goal to open 57,000 new locations worldwide, Ascott faced a critical challenge: its existing on-premise property management system (PMS) lacked the scalability and centralization needed to manage a diverse and growing portfolio.

The need for a centralized system to grow at scale

RMS now powers over 700 Ascott properties with a centralized, scalable platform that enhances operational efficiency, streamlines data management, and elevates the guest experience. Key features include mobile-friendly guest portals for seamless check-ins, 360-degree reporting for data-driven decision-making, and native communication tools to unify operations across regions.

This strategic partnership enables The Ascott Limited to confidently pursue its global expansion while delivering exceptional service to business, leisure, and family travelers alike.

Moving to RMS' property management solution is one of our digital initiatives to support Ascott’s fast-growing business.

Challenges

The Ascott Limited needed a scalable, centralized property management system (PMS) to support its aggressive global expansion plan of 57,000 new locations. Their existing on-premise solution lacked the flexibility and integration required to manage a diverse portfolio and unify operations across regions. Manual data collation across properties was inefficient, prompting the search for a cloud-based solution that could streamline operations and support rapid growth.
