OPERA Property Management System

Your front desk often makes the difference between ‘never agains’ and ‘long-term relationships.’

At the core of the OPERA enterprise solution is our premier property management software, the OPERA Property Management System (PMS). Designed to meet the varied requirements of any size hotel or hotel chain, OPERA PMS provides all the tools a hotel staff needs for doing their day-to-day jobs – handling reservations, checking guests in and out, assigning rooms and managing room inventory, accommodating the needs of in-house guests, and handling accounting and billing. The property management software is configurable to each property’s specific requirements and operates in either single-property or multi-property mode, with all properties in a complex sharing a single database.

OPERA Property Management System is fully integrated with OPERA Sales and Catering, OPERA Gaming and Comp Accounting, OPERA Vacation Ownership System, OPERA Quality Management System, and the OPERA central systems – ORS, the OPERA Reservation System; and OCIS, the OPERA Customer Information System.

Features

Reservations
OPERA Reservation features are integrated with other functionality such as profiles, cashiering and deposits. This property management software module provides a complete set of features for creating and updating individual, group and business block reservations, including deposit handling, cancellations, confirmations, waitlisting, room blocking and sharing.
Rate management
The OPERA Property Management System offers an extensive set of features for setting and automatically controlling rates, for rate quotation, and for revenue forecasting and analysis to create the most comprehensive rate management system in the industry. OPERA’s Property Management Systems interface with OPERA Revenue Management Systems and other major yield management applications.
Profiles
OPERA’s property management software also provides profiles – complete demographic records for guests, business accounts, contacts, groups, agents and sources. Profiles include addresses, phone numbers, membership enrolments, stay and revenue details, guest preferences and additional data that make reservations handling and many other activities faster and more accurate.
Front Desk
Arrivals and in-house guests are served using the Front Desk features of our property management software. This module handles individual guests, groups and walk-ins, and has features for room blocking, managing guest messages and wake-up calls, and creating and following up on inter-department advisories, or traces.
Back Office interface
Revenue transfers, market statistics transfers, daily statistics transfers, and city ledger transfers can be easily made from OPERA Property Management System to a back office system.
Rooms management
OPERA Property Management System’s Rooms Management features handle all facets of room supervision including availability, housekeeping, maintenance and facility management. The Queue Rooms feature of the property management software coordinates Front Office and Housekeeping efforts when guests are waiting for rooms which are not immediately available for assignment
Cashiering
Posting guest and passer-by charges (including taxes and other generates), making posting adjustments, managing advance deposits, settlements, checkout and folio printing are a few of the many activities handled by OPERA Cashiering. Cashiering accommodates multiple payment methods per reservation including cash, cheque, credit cards and direct bill. In multi-property environments, guest charges can be cross-posted from any property in the hotel complex.
Accounts Receivable
AR is fully integrated with the OPERA Property Management System database and includes direct billing, invoicing, account aging, bill payments, reminder and statement generation, and account research. Old balances from external accounting systems may be entered.
Commissions
OPERA’s property management software also offers integrated features for calculating, processing and following up on travel agent and other types of commission payments, either by cheque or via EFT.
Reporting
OPERA offers over 360 separate standard reports. Reports can be customised for each hotel and new reports may be created as needed using OPERA’s built-in Report Writer.
Fully configurable
Choice of OPERA features, system behaviours and priorities, and system-wide defaults are controlled by the property. User permissions determine which property management software features may be accessed by each user and user group. Many OPERA screens may be customised by the property.
Global perspective
OPERA Property Management System supports multi-currency and multi-language features to meet the requirements of global operations. Rates and revenues can be dynamically converted from the local currency to any other currency. The appropriate language for guest correspondence can be automatically determined by the guest’s profile language; country-specific address formats are supported.
Hospitality System Interfaces
OPERA PMS includes interfaces to hundreds of third-party hospitality systems including yield management, telephone and electronic switching, TV and video entertainment, key lock, restaurant POS, activities scheduling, minibar, and wake-up call systems.

OPERA Xpress offers a scaled-down edition of our property management systems for smaller properties or properties offering limited services. Based on the core OPERA property management software product, properties may choose the features they want from a menu of product options.
