2. Environment
Today’s work environment forces us to improve the information analysis that we use to
optimize the resources and investments within the sector.
The hospitality sector has been managed for years by multiple technologies offering closed
solutions in which the integration with external modules was very difficult and stressful.
Software vendors have been very jealous when opening their environment connectivity
between platforms and other management programs for external integrations.
Centralization

Not surprisingly, years ago the HTNG (Hotel Technology Next Generation) organization was
born due to the demand from hoteliers and some software vendors, that had hard times to
offer their product to the hospitality market, to deliver standard integrations to allow the
hoteliers to choose the right solution for their operations.
The Hotel Dashboard is born with this philosophy: to enable the hotel to integrate information
from different data sources existing in their hotels or group of hotels, without limitation,
through Business Intelligence.
Hoteliers can cross data and information from their different management programs (hotel
management, business management, event management, quality management, service
management, interfaces, POS management, procurement and warehouse management,
financial management and accounting , web platforms, etc.) regardless the software vendor.
With it, they can optimize the management of their departments through specialized programs
for each of them, and unify the information effectively.
The standardization of the information will be possible for those hotel groups that work with
different brands, hotel software by region, brand or other technologies.
Data centralization from different software management is possible through the Hotel
Dashboard and its modules. Moreover the Hotel Dashboard is designed so that the hotel needs
only to purchase the licenses needed to work with. This allows them to achieve budgets
adapted to their needs providing them with what only a few companies from the hotel sector
have already discovered.

3. Business Intelligence
It is a set of tools and strategies aimed to the administration and creating knowledge through
the analysis of existing data in a company or organization.

The Hotel Dashboard is based on Qlik, one of the most powerful Business Intelligence tools in
the market. Through its Business Discovery technology it allows to develop dashboards
without investing large amounts of time and money. Its technology, which gives you access to
the information in memory, can save hundreds of hours working on the creation of the
classical data cubes that always end up being obsolete before they can be placed to work.
The hospitality sector requires speed on the development and quick responses, the Hotel
Dashboard and Qlik covers this necessity.
Mastel and Qlik have defined an economic licensing plan that will allow access to all or some of
the modules of your company or group of companies’ software, adapting to the needs and size
of each customer. In addition the Hotel Dashboard includes by default all the necessary
software for the installation on a central server of the hotel or hotel group.
The users will have access to each of the modules through a nominal WEB access which will
allow them to see and work with all the available information in such module. In case of
needing access to more than one module a license will be assigned for each module.
The Hotel Dashboard has taken into consideration the difficulty of working in some
environments were the internet connectivity is not optimal, therefore, it will be also possible
to work with a local client license that won´t depend on the internet connectivity.
