It allows teams to organise, schedule and manage all areas of the hotel more efficiently, reducing costs and delivering a seamless guest experience. These systems emerged from the growing need for digitalisation across industries, including hospitality.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"639\" data-end=\"909\">Originally, a PMS was mainly focused on front-desk tasks such as reservations, check-ins and check-outs, room assignment and billing. However, the technology has evolved significantly and now includes a wide range of integrations that go far beyond reception operations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Main_functions_of_a_PMS\"><\/span>Main functions of a PMS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Room management:<\/strong> centralizes the control of reservations, allowing the management of room availability and assignment to guests.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Integration with sales channels<\/strong>: automatically synchronizes rates and availability with OTAs, booking engines, and marketplaces.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Payment management<\/strong>: allows issuing invoices, recording payments, and reconciling with online payment gateways.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check-in and check-out:<\/strong> streamlines the clients\u2019 entry and exit processes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Service control:<\/strong> coordinates operational tasks such as cleaning, maintenance, and additional services.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Performance analysis:<\/strong> generates reports on occupancy, revenue, and customer trends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-start=\"911\" data-end=\"944\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PMS_and_PCI_DSS_compliance\"><\/span><strong data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"944\">PMS and PCI DSS compliance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"946\" data-end=\"1257\">PMS providers must comply with PCI-DSS to operate safely, since this standard is <strong>mandatory for all companies<\/strong> that store, process or transmit credit and debit card data.
