Compatible with ProfitSword's full range of business intelligence and data management solutions, ProfitAbility adds a vital layer in how businesses can strategically leverage their performance data in a timely manner. Once implemented, the solution can immediately begin to learn on its own via the continuous refreshing of information retrieved in real time from a hotel's performance data generating systems. By constantly analyzing key performance indicators (KPIs) such as reservations and sales, ProfitAbility can automatically determine if new data received falls within previous norms. If information appears below or above average, the platform will then instantly generate an alert so that any necessary action can be immediately taken, eliminating the need to review reports and saving vital time as a result. ProfitAbility provides businesses with the ability to create their own dashboards and set their own KPI parameters for alerts so that they can stay informed on any deviations that matter most to the success of their business.
