AI, ERP, and CRM solutions for hotels and resorts
Hotels and resorts need connected systems to manage properties, control costs, support staff, and deliver consistent guest experiences. Rand Group combines hospitality industry knowledge with AI, ERP, and CRM expertise across Microsoft Dynamics 365, Oracle NetSuite, and Sage to connect finance, property systems, guest data, reporting, and automation.
Connect every property, process, and guest experience
Hotel and resort operators face rising labor, supply, energy, and insurance costs, along with staffing shortages and changing occupancy levels. Guests also expect more personalized service and greater value. These pressures are harder to manage when reservation, point-of-sale, payroll, procurement, financial, and guest data remain spread across separate systems.
AI-powered hotel and resort ERP software connects front-office and back-office operations within one technology environment. ERP and CRM solutions can automate accounting and purchasing, improve multi-property reporting, strengthen financial controls, and connect guest data with marketing and service workflows. AI helps teams forecast demand, identify trends, reduce manual work, and make faster decisions using current business data.
Rand Group helps hotels and resorts select, implement, integrate, and support ERP, CRM, AI, reporting, and automation solutions. Our consultants design a connected technology strategy around your ownership structure, property mix, existing systems, guest experience goals, and plans for growth.

Top 10 ERP software selection checklist
Choosing the right ERP involves more than comparing features. Download this free checklist to review the key criteria and steps for selecting a solution that supports your current needs, growth plans, and long-term goals.
Simplify multi-property financial management
Hotels and resorts often manage several properties, legal entities, brands, departments, and revenue centers. A cloud ERP creates one financial foundation for the portfolio, helping finance teams automate routine processes, strengthen controls, and understand performance at every level.
- Manage multiple properties, entities, brands, currencies, and tax requirements
- Automate consolidations, intercompany transactions, and eliminations
- Centralize accounts payable, purchasing, and approval workflows
- Report on revenue, expenses, and profit by property or department
- Manage depreciation for buildings, furnishings, equipment, and other fixed assets
- Maintain role-based access, audit trails, and consistent financial controls
Connect hotel systems and back-office operations
Property management, reservation, point-of-sale, payroll, procurement, catering, and revenue management systems each support an important part of hotel operations. Integrating these platforms with your ERP reduces manual entry and creates a consistent flow of information between individual properties and the corporate office.
- Integrate PMS, POS, booking, payroll, procurement, and revenue systems
- Send room, restaurant, spa, golf, event, and retail activity to the general ledger
- Automate daily revenue postings, reconciliations, and night audit support
- Centralize purchasing and inventory for food, beverages, amenities, and supplies
- Connect catering, group sales, and event activity with billing and financial reporting
- Reduce duplicate entry, spreadsheet dependence, and reconciliation errors
Use AI to forecast demand and protect margins
Hotel and resort performance can shift quickly based on seasonality, booking patterns, events, labor availability, and economic conditions. AI-powered reporting and predictive analytics help leaders understand current performance, anticipate changes, and make informed decisions before issues affect service or profitability.
- Monitor occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, TRevPAR, RevPOR, and GOPPAR
- Forecast occupancy, revenue, labor needs, purchasing, and cash flow
- Compare performance across properties, brands, departments, and revenue centers
- Optimize staffing and inventory based on expected demand
- Identify unusual costs, revenue gaps, and operational exceptions
- Model scenarios for peak seasons, shoulder periods, promotions, and new services
Deliver more personalized guest experiences
Guest information often remains divided across reservation systems, loyalty programs, service teams, restaurants, spas, and other on-property experiences. A connected CRM brings this data together so employees can understand each guest and coordinate more relevant engagement before, during, and after a stay.
- Build unified guest profiles with preferences, stays, spending, and interactions
- Segment guests based on behavior, interests, loyalty, and engagement
- Automate personalized pre-arrival, in-stay, and post-stay communications
- Track requests, complaints, and service recovery across departments
- Coordinate group sales, events, marketing, loyalty, and guest service teams
- Measure campaign performance, repeat stays, and direct booking activity
