Case Study: The Academy Hotel achieves $25,000/year savings and streamlined, integrated operations with Skyware Hospitality Solutions

The Academy Hotel - Customer Case Study

The Academy Hotel, a 200‑room full‑service property in Colorado Springs, needed a new property management system after becoming independent to support one integrated platform for operations, web/mobile booking, POS across outlets, comprehensive reporting, and GDS/third‑party reservation management. After evaluating options, The Academy Hotel selected Skyware Hospitality Solutions as the vendor to meet these requirements.

Skyware Hospitality Solutions delivered a single, multi‑module PMS that integrated booking, POS, channel management and reporting, with multi‑window workflows that sped check‑in and reduced manual tasks. The hotel eliminated multiple software subscriptions, saving about $25,000 per year, stopped $2,000/month GDS fees by managing third‑party channels directly, and cut another $15,000/year in group sales costs; staff productivity, returned bookings and revenue management also improved thanks to Skyware’s reporting and automatic rate‑update capabilities.
