From on-premise to the cloud! Villa Franca Inn upgraded to ASI PMS for seamless OTA sync, a sleek UI & Powerful Reports - Hotel Management made effortless!

Overview

In the fast-paced hospitality industry, efficiency and adaptability are the key to success. One of our valued clients, Amit J. Panchal, the owner of Villa Franca Inn in Monterey, California, recently shared his experience of moving from ASI FrontDesk 6.0 (On-Premise) to ASI PMS 7.0 (Cloud-Based). After using ASI FrontDesk since 2022, he switched to ASI PMS 7.0 (Cloud-Based) in January 2025 for better accessibility and seamless hotel management.

He highlights key improvements, such as instant OTA reservation transfers, a fully web-based platform, a cleaner UI, and powerful dynamic reporting—all of which have helped him simplify hotel operations and improve the overall guest experience. Let’s dive into his journey and explore why moving from an on-premise system to a cloud-based solution with ASI PMS 7.0 is a game-changer for hoteliers.

Amit Panchal's Journey in his words:

ASI (Anand Systems): A Leap Forward with Version 7.0

In the ever-evolving world of hospitality, hotel management software plays a pivotal role in streamlining operations, enhancing guest experiences, and boosting revenue. ASI Hotel Management Software has been a trusted name in the industry, and with the release of its latest version, ASI 7.0, the software has taken a giant leap forward. Let’s take a closer look at how the new version compares to its predecessor, ASI 6.0, and why it’s a game-changer for hoteliers.

The Old Version: ASI 6.0

ASI 6.0 was a cloud-based solution that relied on Microsoft Remote Desktop technology. While it was a step up from traditional on-premises systems, it had its limitations. Users needed to connect to a remote desktop to access the software, which sometimes led to slower performance, especially during peak hours. Additionally, the software was not fully optimized for mobile devices, making it less flexible for on-the-go management.

The user interface (UI) of ASI 6.0 was functional but somewhat dated. While the tape chart view of rooms was a standout feature, the overall experience felt clunky at times. Transferring OTA (Online Travel Agency) reservations could be slow, and generating dynamic reports required additional steps, which wasn’t ideal for busy hotel staff.

 

The New Version: ASI 7.0

ASI 7.0 is a complete overhaul of the software, designed to address the shortcomings of the previous version and deliver a faster, more accessible, and user-friendly experience. Here’s why the new version is a significant upgrade:

Why ASI 7.0 is a Game-Changer

The transition from ASI 6.0 to ASI 7.0 is more than just an upgrade—it’s a transformation. The web-based architecture, combined with a cleaner UI and faster performance, makes ASI 7.0 a powerful tool for modern hotel management. The ability to access the software from any device, coupled with instantaneous OTA transfers and dynamic reporting, ensures that hoteliers can stay ahead in a competitive industry.
