Descrption:
Edinburgh not only manages a massive student accommodation portfolio – 2,700+ self-catering rooms, more than 120 self-contained flats, and 1,940 rooms in halls of residence – it also operates an accommodation, conference, dining and function network called Edinburgh First. The conferencing activities include 38 en-suite bedrooms and 21 meeting spaces accommodating 10 to 400 people for year round letting, together with dining for events, and letting out student accommodation and university meeting spaces out of term time. An operation this complex needs flexible and powerful software, and Edinburgh wanted to be able to manage, view and control all of its activities from one source. Kinetic Solutions’ Kx software provided that opportunity.
“We wanted software that would provide us with a full picture of what was happening across the University’s student accommodation, conference and event activities. Kx will allow us to produce a very detailed view of our business, which means we can manage our assets far more effectively and profitably,” says Director of Accommodation Services Richard Kington. “This, together with a comprehensive Sales and Marketing module, reporting tools and the attitude of Kinetic, convinced us that they had the ability assist us in developing our business, not just now, but moving into the future. Flexibility, powerful software and a willingness by Kinetic develop that software provided us with more than enough evidence that such an important strategic change right for Edinburgh.”
