Significant Hotel Contract Win

Clarity Commerce Solutions plc is pleased to announce that its hospitality division has won a significant  contract with Oxford Hotels & Inns, a leading British hotel group with 42 sites across the UK.

The Hotel will be rolling out Clarity's ("THS") Phoenix software over the next four months. The installation will give management staff improved visibility of agent and corporate debtors in real-time, allowing the company to track any potential cash flow problems as early as possible in the cashflow cycle.

It will also ensure full compliance with the Payment Card Industry's Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) which is currently in place. Compliance with this standard will help protect Oxford Hotels and Inns from the risk of fraudulent transactions. 

This follows on from the recently announced contract to supply Peel Hotels, a major UK hotel chain with 6,500 rooms, with its Phoenix PMS solution Clearview Point of Sale ("POS") solution. 

Kamran Aziz, Group Managing Director at Oxford Hotels and Inns Management Ltd, said: 

"We have been conducting a multi-million pound investment programme in a bid to grow and improve our portfolio of hotels, and it's essential that we can get visibility of all financial transactions across the Group as and when we need them. The Clarity solution provides this functionality and ensures we are fully compliant  with PCI guidelines. Overall it will enable the Group to improve efficiencies and profitability across its operations". 

Ken Smith, CEO at Clarity Commerce Solutions, said:

"I am delighted to announce this contract win as it demonstrates that our hospitality solution, following on from our Peel hotel win, is the most comprehensive management reporting system for the industry. We now have a growing number of hotel installations with customers prioritising return on investment as essential. Both new clients are excellent customer reference sites for new business and I look forward to reporting further progress soon".
