As the new year comes around in full swing and everyone makes plans of introspection, change and creating a better, more up-to-date version of themselves, Fairmas has its own set of milestones that were achieved in 2021 and goals to look forward to in 2022.
Every year, the hospitality industry learns and adapts to new trends. How customers interact with the hospitality industry creates room for further growth. As globalization increases, and traveling becomes more affordable, the hospitality industry sees a growing influx of customers. In order to succeed, it is important to not only adapt to the new trends, but also be aware of what the future may hold.
The hotel business has become increasingly complex. This means the need for timely and well-structured financial reports and planning documents, that could be fulfilled through digitalized reporting.
The Long-Range Planner integrated in FairPlanner enables easy multi-year planning based on flexibly selectable scenarios such as budget, forecast or what-if. Planning takes place in the hotel's own profit and loss statement and simplifies the strategic financial and profitability forecast for the next 10 years.
To meet the challenging demands of the controlling and steering function, head offices of large hotel companies must be able to access all revenues, costs, and relevant hotel key figures quickly and easily. The level of detail of the analysis should be flexibly adjustable so in the event of deviations from targets, it is easy to switch from the group, country, or cluster level to the hotel level.
A forecast is a prognosis of future developments. When it comes to predicting hotel demand, we can never really say that we know exactly what will happen, but rather what is highly likely to happen. The forecast quantifies the uncertainty of the future.
The crisis has shown that in turbulent times and in a highly dynamic market, close monitoring of hotel performance by doing a rolling forecast is crucial. The introduction of FairPlanner as a financial planning tool simplifies the entire forecasting and budgeting process. The rolling forecast feature enables regular performance analysis of the entire hotel business with a focus on profit.
Everyone is affected by today’s global pandemic situation, and the hospitality industry is one of the hard-hit industries. However, there is one truth: There will eventually be an end to all of this and businesses will resume its normal operations, whatever that new normal may be.
