Discover how Planet's PMS delivers impressive increases in revenue for the Best Western Olde Maritime

Best Western Olde Maritime, a historic seaside motel located in Warrnambool, Victoria faced a technical challenge of finding a flexible and efficient property management system to improve upon their existing system. While the existing software worked well, it had issues with double-bookings and integrating with external systems.
