| When Springer-Miller Systems,
Inc. (SMS) was founded in 1984, hotels and resorts in New England’s
famous ski area, Stowe, Vermont, were anxious to find a user-friendly
yet comprehensive property management system with a “destination”
property focus. SMS met the challenge by developing a versatile
system to automate hospitality management. After years of development
and testing, SMS|Host was introduced
into the marketplace. As a comprehensive and fully integrated hospitality
solution, SMS|Host not only meets the
needs of hotels and resorts, but is designed with guest service
at its core, making it the system of choice for lodging properties
of all kinds.
In 1995, following its success throughout North America, Springer-Miller
Systems began an international expansion effort to broaden its worldwide
accessibility. Springer-Miller International, LLC (SMI), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Springer-Miller Systems, Inc., has been leading this
effort. Through its international division, SMS has expanded its
reach into Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Pacific
Rim. Regional headquarters have been opened in Kettering, England
(SMI-Europe) and in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (SMI-Asia/Pacific) to
ensure global presence, product localization, and quality customer
service.
Following many years assisting ‘mixed-use’ resorts
in automating timeshare operations needs, in 2000 Springer-Miller
Systems acquired Resort Computer Corporation, a leader in timeshare
technology, and embarked on a mission to build the timeshare industry’s
first truly integrated technology solution.
In 2002, Springer-Miller Systems acquired SpaSoft, the leading
name in spa scheduling software. In combining the two companies,
we are committed to making sure both SpaSoft and the SMS|Spa
Resort Management module will remain independent, each with its
own special capabilities. It is our plan to continue supporting
and developing both products.
Today, PAR Springer-Miller Systems meets the technology needs of
all types of hospitality enterprises including city-center hotels,
destination spa and golf resorts, timeshare properties, and casino
resorts worldwide, setting the pace as a pioneer in the hospitality
industry.
