Company Background
Alpine Ski House is a company that owns and operates hotels, restaurants, and stores.
Currently, the company uses the following software and interface:
1. Property management software (PMS) to manage hotel rooms
2. On-premises accounting software to generate sales invoices and create purchase orders
3. An API that allows restaurants and stores to obtain necessary information
Restaurants and stores use standalone software for point of sale (POS) devices. Each day, the POS terminals generate a text file of sales data and save the files in a server folder. An account assistant must manually import the files to the current software tables to be processed by the system.
The general manager receives several reports monthly from department managers. The reports take too much time to prepare.
Planned improvements
The company is moving from a different system to Business Central online to manage the whole company.
The company plans to increase efficiency in every department by using APIs to obtain or share information between the different systems.
Each department involved in purchasing must be able to make purchase requests automatically and easily.
The departments do not need access to the full ERP management system.
