2) Room block life cycle
15
a) Room block creation:
Groups in Scrigno can be managed :- with Allotments, for large
room stocks seriously impacting on house availability, or - directly with plain Group reservations for smaller stocks.
For large and long term room blocks we can use “allotments”, where we define the period and number of rooms requested.
A rate code can be assigned immediately or defined in a later phase when the block will start to be picked-up.
2) Room block life cycle: Contract negotiation
16
b) Group reservation:
In the booking mask it is possible to enter the group reservation picking from the room block created beforehand.
If a rate code was not assigned at the moment of the creation of the block, an existing rate code can be assigned in this moment or a manual price can be created.
The reservation can assume any Status: Confirmed, Optioned, Optioned waiting for deposit, Offer.According to the status, the reservation may or may not impact the hotel’s physical availability.
2) Room block life cycle: Contract negotiation
17
c) Group pricing:
On the Group booking mask, the sales manager can access a at-a-glance view of the booking perfomance with regards to Groups VS Individual bookings, aimed at offering the relevant data for deciding whether to accept or not a group booking on a specific period ,according to: the incidence of groups on total bookings, the number of roomnights sold to Groups vs Individuals and the relative average room rate.
All this information is confronted against budget in order to offer the groups sales an important pricing information, useful for setting the price to the requested group.
2) Room block life cycle: Contract negotiation
18
d) Room Block Performance Monitoring:
Directly from the availability mask, as well as with specific reports, we can monitor the performance of allotments in general and by specific block (or agency).
The availability mask displays for each allotment/block, a synthetic view of Remaining/Sold rooms and the relative conversion rate or a more analythical view by room type, showing initial stock/released/sold/remaining rooms, and subsequent conversion rate.
2) Room block life cycle: Contract negotiation
19
e) Riallocation of under performing blocks:
Scrigno has got a powerful tool for analysing and managing blocks on the basis of a 3-year time series, that allows to identify recurring lower performing periods and reallocate immediately a portion of the otherwise un-sold rooms to direct sales by entering a wash factor (at global level, agency /block level, or rate/room type level).
2) Room block life cycle: Contract negotiation
20
f) Impact of block’s wash factor on Availability
Once room blocks are re-allocated to direct sales through the wash factor, the availability mask displays to booking clerks only the remaining room blocks (only authorized managers will be able to view original blocks and residual stock).
Here it is possible a further intervention on the room block sales: authorized operators can take a “Stop sales” action, that prevents other bookings to be taken and hence other rooms to be picked up from the original stock.
Stop sales action can be taken at block /agency level, at hotel level or at destination level.Automatic emails can be sent to accounts.
2) Room block life cycle: Contract negotiation
21
a) Sales restrictions
Scrigno features a fully integrated revenue management module allowing to set sales restrictions to rate groups, rate codes and room types, such as:- MLOS,- Closure/opening- Target stocks to sell- Sales priorities
2) Room block life cycle: Pricing and distribution
22
b) Rule-based restrictions
Scrigno features a powerful “revenue engine” with which is possible to define actions on one or more channels (IDS or own direct channels) according to specific conditions.Thanks to the formulas, basically any condition and any action can be set.
2) Room block life cycle: Pricing and distribution
23
c) Discount formulas
Scrigno’s strenght is in serving leisure resorts, where lies GP Dati’s main experience and larger installations.
With a practical “If > Then approach” virtually any discount/supplement policy can be set-up directly by the final user, and the price is automatically calculated in function of the data entered, freeing the booking clerk from the task of manually calculating discounts or of inserting discount items.
2) Room block life cycle: Pricing and distribution
24
d) Package rate definition
Thanks to the discount/supplement formulas, any complex resort package rate can be set up and applied authomatically.
2) Room block life cycle: Pricing and distribution
25
e) Rate code definition
Rate codes can be associated to a specific (even binding) market and channel.
To each rate code it can be defined which room types are to be sold.
Most importantly, it is possible to create derivated rates, by anchoring one rate code to another “master” rate code with a percentage difference.
From here it can be set whether a Rate can be sold also through the integrated electronic channels
2) Room block life cycle: Pricing and distribution
26
f) Monitoring sales on all channels
From the availability mask it is possible to control also electronic channels such as IDS and corporate BOL (if Scrigno’s channel manager and B2C modules are activated).
For IDS, just with a click it is possible to monitor for each portal: initial stock/residual rooms, published price/rate code, restrictions.
2) Room block life cycle: Pricing and distribution
27
2) Room block life cycle: Forecasting
a) Multi-level report generator
Scrigno features a powerful report generator, which represents a multi-dimensional business intelligence reporting tool allowing to dig Scrigno's underlying Oracle database according to multiple variables.The database can be queried according to 3 dimensions:- Actual vs forecasrVs booking
pace (demand curve analysis through the incremental acquisition of bookings for a future period).
Mid-month forecasting reports can combine actual and on the books data in order to present a total month forecast.

5) Deployment scenario
and IT infrastructure
55
5) Suggested implementation scenario
Thanks to our experience, we suggest a very cost-effective approach to implementation: the creation of a Maistra's internal training team, devoted to setting-up and training of the personnel of all the properties, that will be autonomous once it is performed a joint installation with GP Dati's staff of the first 2 pilot properties.
Thanks to this approach, Maistra will be able to count on an internal experienced team of specialists, able to assist the corporate information system, as well as to provide an internally managed first level support service.
GP Dati, following the go-live of the first 2 pilot properties, will guarantee a service of supervision and of second level support service.
ADVANTAGESWith this approach, Maistra will obtain remarkable advantages in terms of economies of scale (saving money) and autonomy and operational readiness, in consideration that the most part of the activities will be performed directly by the internal team.
56
5) Suggested implementation scenario
The services implemenatation plan, both for the hotel pilots and for the eventual camps pilots, is conceived according to 4 subsequent phases:
1) set-up and training of the system at Maistra's central HQ for all the centralised functions (central booking, revenue management, CRM, reporting, etc), performed by GP Dati with the participation of Maistra's internal team.
2) set-up, training and go-live of a first pilot hotel, performed by GP Dati with the participation of Maistra's internal team.
3) set-up, training and go-live of the second pilot hotel, performed by Maistra's internal team with the assistance of GP Dati.
4) go-live of all the other remaining properties, performed by Maistra's internal team (GP Dati may eventually assist on request).
57
5) Suggested implementation scenario
GP Dati and Adacta roles in the project
Primary consultancy shall be done by GP Dati All programming, setup and technical services shall be done by GP Dati Adacta shall support all implementation steps Adacta shall execute the user training in local language General project management shall be done by GP, Dati AD shall support
coordination especially where local language is needed AD shall be in charge of user support, GP shall be in charge of technical support
