The modular approach was envisaged to mitigate the complexities of an unorganized market, while a more modular approach can anchor best practices into the system seamlessly. The modular approach is an introduction towards keeping the data relevant to the business in an organized manner, thereby equipping the hotel owners/ Mangers for better operational efficiency and informed decision making. This also paves the way for integrating other modules into their operations seamlessly.
