Hotelgears is On Demand, meaning you can get an account, select a system, determine the right financial service level (even free), select some apps or powertools, and be up and running in no time. In addition to a startup assistance service, Hotelgears offers over a hundred Apps, PowerTools, IntelligentTools, and Reports all On Demand. Hotelgears is offered as Software as a Service. Software as a Service (SaaS, typically pronounced 'sass') is a model of software deployment whereby a provider, Hotelgears, will license an application to you for use as a service on demand. SaaS is also often associated with a "pay-as-you-go" (PayGo) subscription licensing model. Learn more about SaaS from Wikipedia. Hotelgears defines Pay-as-You-Go (PayGo) as a cloud service subscription charged on a monthly or annual basis with no contracts. Various services may be activated or deactivated monthly as often as needed. Switching between subscriptions may result in additional fees. The Hotelgears Platform is compatible with all major operating systems and all major web browsers, and may be hosted in the cloud or on-premises providing you with the most flexibility in the market. Once you access the cloud, you get your choice of systems and apps to deploy within your company. Hotelgears is based on a Distributed Model platform which means your information can be accessed from the Hotelgears cloud regardless of whether the system is hosted in the cloud or on-premises on site using the Hotelgears' Overdrive Appliance. Hotelgears Apps are nothing like you've used before. Simply pick the app you need, setup your business rules, assign security privileges, and your app is live. Ranging from room management, guest services, multi-brand revenue consolidation to end-user security, internal system integration and more, there's an app for your every need. Over the years, we've watched our competitors deceive customers into using weak management systems. Our response is to give back by offering you risk-free solutions, and we address this in several ways: Life-trial, No Contracts, Custom Apps Request, App-trials and Raw Data Access. If Hotelgears does not offer an App that you require, simply submit a Custom Apps Request. Our development team will review the request to determine if your request can be beneficial to other Hotelgears customers. If so, then only a small implementation fee will be assessed. If not, we will price a fixed fee to build and implement the App based on a clear scope design. If you find an App you would like to try, simply select the App as an App-trial and begin using it right away. Trial periods may vary based on the application type. Because on our PayGo method, you may stop using an App at anytime and there will be no futher charges to your account for the App. Finally, we give you access to download your financial data in raw format. This means you can get your data month by month to use as you need it, even if you decide to use another company.
