Working from home challenge in the hospitality industry

How to work from home when needing access to all parts of the business and the fully integrated Property Management System? Depending on the status of each property, some staff might need remote access to view information, while others will need full functionality as if at the office. Others will need full access and functionality to all parts of the business. CiMSO’s Mobile user-product allows an “on-site” experience for remote workers from anywhere in the world.

Hotels, Lodges, and Resorts need support from their software systems provider, especially when working from home.

CiMSO provides a 24×7 support service to all our customers during these challenging times. CiMSO offered clients free mobile licensing to those working from home, during 2020 level-5 lockdown. The result was allowing customers to synchronize from home (or anywhere else) to their INNkeeper database at the office.

Best practices working from home as learned by CiMSO staff:

• Balancing time spent on work and family
