Introduction and Industry Context
The hospitality sector—covering hotels, resorts, restaurants, banquet facilities, event venues, and multi-property operations—requires close coordination across guest engagement, reservations, room management, housekeeping, food and beverage services, financial operations, and workforce management.Traditional property management and accounting systems often function in silos, resulting in data inconsistencies, operational inefficiencies, and sub-optimal guest experiences. SAP Business One addresses these challenges by unifying front-office and back-office operations on a single ERP platform, delivering real-time visibility and stronger control across the entire guest lifecycle. This integrated approach enables hospitality businesses to enhance customer experience, reduce operating costs, and make informed strategic decisions through a single source of truth.
