What's Happening?
RMS, a leading hospitality platform, has launched RMS Pay in the United States and Canada. This payment system, already successful in Australia and Europe, aims to improve payment security and reduce risks for hospitality operators. RMS Pay integrates with the RMS property management system, allowing operators to automate the payment process from pre-arrival to check-out. The system is designed to work across various hospitality businesses, including hotels, campgrounds, and RV parks, providing a centralized view of operations and reducing the complexity of managing separate systems.
Why It's Important?
The introduction of RMS Pay in North America addresses significant challenges faced by hospitality operators, such as fragmented payment systems and staffing shortages. By automating financial processes, RMS Pay helps operators streamline operations, improve cash flow, and enhance guest payment experiences. This integration is particularly beneficial for independent owner-operators who often have limited options for tailored payment solutions. The system's ability to reduce no-shows and chargebacks further supports profitability and operational efficiency in the hospitality industry.
What's Next?
RMS plans to expand its payment offerings further, with James MacRae appointed as Head of Payments to strengthen RMS's capabilities. MacRae's expertise in payment enablement and fintech innovation will be crucial in enhancing RMS's end-to-end payment solutions. As RMS Pay continues to gain traction, operators can expect more streamlined operations and improved financial management, potentially leading to broader adoption across the hospitality sector.
