MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SoftBrands , a global leader in next-generation enterprise software for businesses in the hospitality and manufacturing sectors, announced today its 800th Medallion property management system (PMS) sale through its burgeoning global business partner channel. Medallion is an easy-to-use, full-featured, multi-lingual PMS solution for hoteliers that want to leverage current technology to increase guest satisfaction.
Sold by SoftBrands business partner Sulcus Hospitality Group, the Golden Tulip Hotel de Reiskoffer in The Netherlands offers its own sauna, Turkish bath, whirlpool, solarium and massage facilities. The hotel is a former SoftBrands LANmark user and saw the move to Medallion as the next logical step in adopting the latest PMS technologies.
"Medallion's exceptional flexibility and scalability will help drive our hotel business forward. We are expecting much and I am sure we will not be disappointed," said Hans Douma, general manager of Golden Tulip de Reiskoffer.
