Redesigning Enterprise Hotel PMS — Optimizing daily arrival queues, payment card processing, interactive room board popovers, gateway surcharge settings, and 10-day occupancy timelines.
Modernizing legacy hotel software to eliminate check-in queues and payment surcharge confusion.
At high-occupancy properties like Yosemite Westgate Lodge, front-desk staff struggled with fragmented reservation lists, un-tracked payment card options, and slow room status lookups during peak 15/17 arrival waves.
Re-architect core PMS screens into an intuitive, high-density desktop portal with real-time arrivals counters, contextual hover tooltips, payment method ledgers, and interactive 10-day occupancy grids.
Front-desk agents operating in fast-paced hotel environments need high-density information layouts that minimize clicks and prevent task switching during guest check-in waves. The redesign strategy prioritized zero-latency accessibility: surface critical reservation statuses, guest balances, and room readiness at a single glance.
By implementing color-coded status badges, contextual hover cards for quick folio previewing, and a unified 10-day occupancy timeline, we reduced cognitive load for staff and eliminated manual cross-referencing across disconnected software modules.
Detailed walkthrough of the 5 primary interface modules matching the actual system screens.
