Windmill Point Resort To Install
SMS|Host Hospitality Management System
Resort selects PAR Springer-Miller Systems
to manage lodging and marina
First PAR customer to contract for implementation
of PAR’s complete hospitality solution -Software, Hardware
and Life Cycle services
NEW HARTFORD, NY, PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION (NYSE:PTC)
NEW HARTFORD, NY — MARCH 23, 2005 — PAR Springer-Miller
Systems Inc. (PSMS) — the leading provider of guest-centric
hospitality management solutions— is pleased to announce that
Windmill Point Resort and Yacht Harbor is the first property to
select PAR’s integrated property management solution as the
system of choice for its property in White Stone, Virginia. This
system includes the industry leading SMS|Host Hospitality Management
System applications, PAR hardware platforms to be utilized onsite
at the customer’s retail outlets and PAR’s lifecycle
support services.
By selecting PAR’s integrated solution customers now have
a one stop/call service capability for their complete solution needs
versus the alternative of buying software from one provider, hardware
from another and service from even a third. PSMS will resolve all
issues with one simple call. In addition, the PAR hardware, with
its outstanding reliability over the common PC, will provide a solution
which has a life cycle cost significantly less than the common two
box PC solution found in many retail outlets in hospitality. This
win is proof of PAR’s strategy in acquiring Springer-Miller
Systems in 2004. That strategy was to sell the Company’s traditional
hospitality products (point-of-sale (POS) hardware and services)
into PSMS’ core markets of Hotels/Resorts and Spas.
Windmill Point Resort will also install several of PAR Springer-Miller’s
optional modules at their location including SMS|Retail Point-of-Sale,
Owner Fulfillment, Membership Management, Multi-Property Management,
Activities Management, Spa/Resort Scheduling, SMS|Tickets, and SMS|World
for internet booking.
Located on the Chesapeake Bay, the Resort consists of 52 waterfront
rooms, a 160-slip marina, 2 restaurants, a resort club, lodge, amphitheater
and condominium development on a 55-acre island. Each room in the
beach front inn opens onto its own balcony or patio with comfortable
island style outdoor furniture for enjoying the island’s views.
The property is slated to open in April 2005.
Sacha Bernstein, Director of Information Technology at Windmill
Point Resort, said, “We needed an integrated solution (software,
hardware and services) that would seamlessly integrate the many
aspects of our property and enable us to consistently exceed our
guests’ expectations. PAR’s SMS|Host Hospitality Management
System and hardware platforms provide us that capability. The integrated
solution is intuitive, flexible, and easy to navigate. PAR Springer-Miller
is internationally known for its excellence in hospitality management
systems, and for its outstanding track record of systems service.”
“We are extremely proud of our recent successes. Windmill
Point’s selection of SMS|Host, along with PAR’s hardware
platforms and services, is proof of our continuing delivery of best
of breed applications and services to our clients and our ability
to leverage our reputation to gain new business” stated John
Springer-Miller, CEO of PAR Springer-Miller. “Our SMS|Host
application is a powerful tool for our clients because it can seamlessly
integrate the entire roster of property management requirements
for high end resorts like Windmill Point. The selection of PAR’s
hardware platform and lifecycle support services is verifiable proof
of the value add the new PAR Springer-Miller integrated solution
regularly can provide its customers.”
