Infor to help simplify revenue and property management for luxury properties in North Carolina

NEW YORK – March 29, 2023 – Infor^®, the industry cloud company, today announced that Old Edwards Inn and Spa, a European-style resort nestled in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, has selected Infor to simplify its hotel management and revenue management functions. Implemented across all three of Old Edwards Hospitality Group’s properties, Infor’s cloud-based hospitality-specific applications will deliver faster turnover, higher profit margins and a more tailored guest experience. Additionally, Old Edwards will be able to reduce manual processes, obtain a clearer picture of who guests are via integrated guest profiles to inform better communications, and provide real-time visibility and intuitive processes to support staff and the guest experience.

“The Infor team understood that at the center of our successful operation are our guests, and, as our technology partner, their solutions will be able to hone in on what really matters to our organization – from revenue management to personalizing the guest experience. We ultimately chose to partner with Infor because of the company’s expertise in the hospitality industry and ability to provide a full suite of products for our current and future needs,” said Brian Crook, general manager at Old Edwards. “By modernizing our operations, we will have the tools necessary to understand market demand and customer behavior to react quickly to changing conditions and manage the hotel more efficiently. Automating our front- and back-office operations will empower our teams with real-time data to make informed decisions, and ultimately make our guest interactions more seamless and memorable.”
