KWHotel vs RMS Cloud

KWHotel is hotel management software for handling reservations, room details, rates, and guest records. Its desktop product is aimed at small and medium accommodation facilities and is deployed on-premise. KWHotel Cloud PMS makes reservations, rate plans, and guest information available from internet-connected devices, and syncs reservation data with KWHotel Pro desktop software. The cloud service can be used on iOS and Android through a browser or a home-screen shortcut. A separate Cloud Channel Manager syncs availability with online travel agencies; the booking engine is another edition-dependent feature. KWHotel Booking Engine supports nine languages and nine payment gateways and charges no commission on bookings made through it. Listed connections include YieldPlanet, SiteMinder, WuBook, Booking.com, Expedia, SMSAPI, POSbistro, and Espago. SMSAPI, POSbistro, and Espago are described for messaging, point of sale, and card payments. The booking engine can show hotel and GDPR regulations to guests when applicable. KWHotel advertises technical support by email, Skype, and phone, with remote connection through TeamViewer if needed. KWHotel Free is listed at free; feature availability varies by edition.
