## "We have been working with Ometis (formerly Tahola) for 2.5 years now, and although the project was initially very complex, the outcome is what was promised. Thanks to Ometis, we can now see all of our data in one place, and with one click we get lots of analysis that was not possible before. Switching currencies is simply one button. The team has delivered all of the objectives initially set, has been very supportive throughout the project even when completed, and I can say that we have established a great relationship."

## About Beds & Bars

Beds & Bars is a leading operator of tourist accommodation and entertainment venues across Europe, operating in 12 cities and eight countries. Their portfolio includes St. Christopher's Inns backpacker hostels, Belushi's Bars, and historic London pubs.

As the original backpackers hostel group in both the UK and Europe, they've been delivering experiences for over 30 years with their "Live Your Life" motto.

## The challenge

With 11 sites in the UK and 9 in Europe, and with many disparate data sources, Beds and Bars needed a holistic view of performance. Having tried other solution providers they thought it couldn't be done.

As a pan-European business, they needed to integrate their accommodation, Epos, labour management and booking systems to better analyse their business and understand their customers. They also needed to consolidate data streams across two different currencies, so they could access the data they needed quickly and without any fuss.

 

## The solution

We used Qlik Sense to merge data from CMS Hospitality, Design My Night, S4Labour and Zonal Epos to create a single source of truth. The system updates overnight, distributing reports automatically each morning to senior managers.

Now, Beds & Bars have easy access to an up-to-date view of their entire business every day in their preferred currency.

 

## The results

Data consolidated from all key systems. Daily distribution of key reports and KPIs without any user intervention. Many hours per week saved building reports, creating more opportunity to analyse data.

Better understanding of customers at home and abroad to support marketing initiatives.

 

> "When Beds & Bars came to us, other providers had told them integrating 20 sites across eight countries couldn't be done. It was complex, but seeing them go from manual reporting to automated daily insights across multiple currencies has been incredibly rewarding. Projects like this show exactly why we love solving the challenges others won't tackle."
