Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative information technology and hospitality
software solutions, announced today that Resorts World at Sentosa, located on the island of Sentosa in
Singapore, has selected InfoGenesis(TM) POS and Eatec(R) Solutions by Agilysys to streamline operations
and enhance guest service. The mega-resort, which is scheduled to open in early 2010, is home to two major
attractions - Universal Studios Singapore(R), the first Universal Studios theme park in Southeast Asia, and
Marine Life Park, the world's largest oceanarium. The resort will also include six hotels, a casino, meeting
facilities, a water theme park and a
variety of entertainment, retail and food and beverage offerings.
"We selected the Agilysys solutions after a long and rigorous review
process," said Chee Yuen Yap, senior vice president and head of information
technology for Resorts World at Sentosa. "InfoGenesis POS and Eatec Solutions
are flexible, stable and user-friendly, and their enterprise capabilities
will help us manage our large and very diverse property. We particularly
appreciate the tight integration between the two systems, which will
streamline operations and reduce manual processes. The Agilysys solutions
will also provide us with timely information, so that our management team can
respond quickly to issues and take advantage of opportunities."
InfoGenesis POS is an enterprise-ready point-of-sale solution that
combines powerful reporting and configuration capabilities with a
touch-screen terminal application. The system, which is designed for
multi-unit operations common in hospitality environments, can manage any
combination of dining, bar and room service operations. Features of
InfoGenesis POS include audit log and electronic journal, real-time
reporting, multi-language capability and advanced sorting, filtering and
grouping options. Resorts World at Sentosa will implement more than 250
InfoGenesis POS terminals throughout the property.
The resort will also use mPOS by Agilysys, a mobile point-of-sale
solution that will enable staff to process orders anywhere on the property
using a handheld device. The mPOS solution, which offers customizable screen
layout and online or offline ordering capabilities, integrates seamlessly
with InfoGenesis POS, ensuring continuity of guest service regardless of
location.
Eatec Solutions is a full-featured inventory and procurement solution
designed especially for the foodservice and hospitality industries. Along
with its core purchasing, inventory, recipe, forecasting, production and
sales analysis functions, the system also offers modules for buffet
management, catering and production planning. The modular software structure
enables customers to construct the exact set of features they need - whether
an enterprise-wide solution for multiple sites, or a single-site system for
multiple functions. With more than 400 standard reports, Eatec Solutions will
enable Resorts World at Sentosa to make more informed and intelligent
business decisions.
"Resorts World at Sentosa will be one of the world's most unique
destination properties, and we are confident our systems for point-of-sale
and inventory and procurement will help ensure an outstanding guest
experience," said Tina Stehle, senior vice president and general manager of
Agilysys Hospitality Solutions Group. "InfoGenesis POS and Eatec Solutions
have helped many diverse venues achieve success, including casinos, hotels,
stadiums and theme parks. Each solution is powerful on its own; together,
they provide an unparalleled combination that enhances efficiency, reduces
costs and streamlines operations."
