HOW IT WORKS
STEP 1: TRAINING AND DATA COLLECTING
AIC offers one-on-one and classroom instruction to ensure hotel staff clearly
and completely understands how to use our software and is leveraging our product
to its fullest. AIC will oversee the development of each hotel’s initial
inventory and will assist in preparing the inventory database in advance.
AIC Software is designed to create a personalized amenity program for each
location, control inventory, reduce labor, lower costs, and increase profits.
It is easy to learn and will improve employee performance by eliminating the
tedious aspects of inventory management.
- The AIC software is installed on the Room Service Manager's computer in
minutes.
- Users are quickly and thoroughly trained and prepared to use the program
through a comprehensive on-site and web-based user training program.
- The highly intuitive software offers data import assistance to create a
highly functional database tailored to each hotel's amenity needs.
This service saves time and allows users to begin using their new
system immediately.
With AIC Software, users are trained to maximize the benefits of their technology
investment.
STEP 2: CREATING A PERSONALIZED PROGRAM
With AIC it is no longer necessary to limit amenity options to items produced
in-house e.g. fruit baskets, wine, cheese, cakes, etc. or even amenities purchased
locally e.g. (regional items like local city souvenirs, local team baseball
caps, etc.)
With AIC and our online Amenity Store the sky’s the limit and so are
your profits.
Shop the Amenity Store and add new items to your personalized program, determine
what sells and what doesn’t and maximize your sales and profits!
STEP THREE: ACTIVATING THE PROGRAM
Click.
A click of the Room Service Manager’s mouse and your new, fun, current,
cutting edge, personalized amenity program is activated.
Set it up any way you want. Limit it to ordering by employees or open it
up so that your guests can access the program and begin ordering. An effective
Amenity Program will allow internal and external orders directly through the
fully automated system. The program in turn will allow the Room Service
Manager and the Accounting Department to track how often every product in inventory
is ordered and replaced, who ordered it, when it was delivered, and to what
room and guest.
This efficiently managed inventory program keeps amenities current and turns
over products as frequently as possible to minimize the amount of cash tied
up in the storeroom…and maximize profits.
STEP FOUR: CONTROLLING THE PROGRAM - AMENITIES IN CONTROL
Inventory represents money and accurate control of inventory is essential
in operating a profitable amenities program.
AIC software automatically maintains a perpetual inventory and produces numerous
"on demand" reports (including pre and post delivery information,
requisition management and many others), that are key to increasing Room Service
Operation's profits. Calculate product costs and identify inventory needs from
reorders to removal. Utilize up-to-the-minute reports on purchases, deliveries,
and product movement by date range. Review details on fast and slow moving
products to determine exactly what's being utilized best and when so you can
maintain a smaller inventory and reduce costs.
Theft along with misdirected amenity deliveries (delivering items to the wrong
room or on the wrong date) can cut deeply into profits. With AIC, hotels can
limit the number of people who have access to inventory records by using system
activity logging.
AIC comes complete with technical support programs and software enhancements
and updates. With AIC, hotels get the information they need to control their
inventory and increase profits.
