The iconic Francisco Grande Hotel & Golf Resort has taken a significant leap in optimising its operations, thanks to a new partnership with industry leaders Maestro PMS and Data Plus. The integration of Maestro’s all-in-one property management system with Data Plus’s financial management platform is providing the resort with real-time insights into its financial performance, empowering the management team to make more informed and timely decisions
Before turning to Maestro and Data Plus, the resort relied on basic accounting software that fell short of its growing needs. There was no system in place to effectively streamline procurement, manage accounts payable, or connect on-site teams with real-time financial data. This limited the resort’s ability to invest in new technologies and hampered integration with other systems.
“Since partnering with Maestro PMS and Data Plus, our hotel’s operational and financial scalability has reached new heights,” said Rhiannon Hicks, Director of Accounting at the Francisco Grande Hotel & Golf Resort. “These integrations have made our operations team more agile, our financial forecasts more accurate, and our overall readiness for future growth stronger. We’re excited to continue working with both companies to build on this success.”
Today, Francisco Grande is taking full advantage of Maestro’s robust suite of tools, including its Front Desk, Mobile Check-in/Checkout, Sales and Catering, and Yield Management modules. Complementing these, Data Plus provides financial management tools like Accounts Payable, General Ledger, and Bank Reconciliation, ensuring seamless data flow between departments. For example, daily revenue is automatically transmitted from Maestro to Data Plus’s General Ledger, creating an efficient, unified system that improves decision-making at all levels.
Bruce Bensetler, CEO of Data Plus, praised the collaboration: “Our partnership with Francisco Grande has been exceptional, and we’re confident that the integration with Maestro PMS will position the resort for continued success in 2024 and beyond. With cutting-edge financial tools at their fingertips, hoteliers can generate more accurate forecasts, reduce errors, and prepare for future growth.”
At the heart of this success is Maestro’s ability to connect various hotel departments through open APIs, allowing real-time data sharing with systems like point of sale, revenue management, golf, spa, and more. This centralised approach gives independent hotels, like Francisco Grande, the flexibility to seamlessly integrate third-party systems and offer more personalised, proactive guest experiences. With all data stored in a single, centralised database, the resort has dramatically increased operational efficiency and revenue potential.
Warren Dehan, President of Maestro, expressed his excitement about the collaboration: “We’re thrilled to be working with Francisco Grande and partnering with Data Plus to bring cutting-edge operations technology to the resort. Maestro is committed to helping hotels improve their daily operations by offering best-in-class integrations, mobile tools, and more. Our goal is to ensure that each property has the ability to build a resilient and efficient tech stack tailored to their unique needs.”
With this powerful new integration in place, Francisco Grande is well-positioned to not only meet but exceed the expectations of guests and stakeholders alike, solidifying its reputation as a premier resort destination.
