No Cure No Pay
LodgeGate is one of the first PMS providers on the market with cloud-based system or SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) model. Together with the Pay per Use business model, we offer our users a flexible and scalable solution that meets changing needs. This type of system, where software is provided remotely via the cloud, eliminates the need for companies to install and maintain extensive IT infrastructure. Users access the software over the Internet, contributing to lower initial costs and easier implementation.
What is a Cloud-Based SaaS Model?
In a cloud-based SaaS model, the software is hosted and managed entirely in the cloud by the software vendor. Users can access the software at any time and from virtually any Internet-connected device. This offers significant accessibility and collaboration benefits, as users can work from different locations and still access the same application and data. In addition, updates and maintenance are performed automatically by the vendor, ensuring consistent performance and security.
What does the Pay-Per-Use Business Model mean?
The pay-per-use (also called pay-as-you-go) business model means that customers pay only for the software or services they actually use.
At LodgeGate, this applies to accommodation providers with a minimum of 15 rentable units. This model offers transparency and cost control, as businesses are not locked into long-term subscriptions or packages that may not match their usage patterns. The pay-per-use model is calculated based on the total number of occupied room nights per month. For companies with fluctuating demand, this can provide significant cost savings because they are not paying for unused capacity.
For our smaller clients, we have a fixed price per month that is very competitive in the market with sufficient functionality for distribution and management.
We list again the advantages of Cloud-based and Pay-per-Use:
- Flexibility and scalability: The system can be easily scaled up when there is more demand or scaled down when demand decreases. This is ideal for businesses that have seasonal or fluctuating demand.
- Low initial cost: Because companies do not have to purchase servers, storage, or IT infrastructure, start-up costs are much lower than with traditional software. The pay-per-use structure also means that costs are spread over time rather than a large initial investment.
- Automatic updates and maintenance: All updates, security patches and enhancements are automatically managed by the us. This ensures that users always have access to the latest features without any maintenance on their own end.
- Cost control and transparency: Companies have insight into their exact usage and can easily track costs on a monthly basis. This provides better control over the budget and prevents wastage of resources.
- Accessibility and collaboration: A cloud-based system allows employees to work when and where they want. This facilitates collaboration between teams regardless of location and promotes a more flexible work environment.
Suitability for modern businesses
A cloud-based SaaS solution with a pay-per-use model is a particularly good fit for companies that value flexibility and cost efficiency. Startups and small businesses, for example, can get started quickly without large investments. Large hotel organizations with complex IT needs can also benefit from scalability and cost-effectiveness.
In summary, a SaaS system with pay-per-use model offers the opportunity to work efficiently and flexibly without large upfront costs, while taking advantage of the latest technological developments. This model provides a future-proof solution that moves with the growth and changing needs of your business.
