IRIS Hotels in Saudi Arabia Expands Its Portfolio with Hotelogix-powered Centralised Control

The group has also become compliant with NTMP and ZATCA.

Hotelogix, a globally leading cloud-based hospitality technology provider, said Saudi Arabia's IRIS Hotels has been able to scale its business while expanding its portfolio on the back of a robust technology platform provided by its multi-property management system. Additionally, the group has been centrally managing operations across all 4 properties while complying with the Kingdom's National Tourism Monitoring Platform (NTMP) and The Zakat, Tax, and Custom Authority (ZATCA).

IRIS Hotels is a well-known hotel group that offers a unique hospitality experience to its guests. With four boutique hotels operating in Riyadh, Taif, Jizan, etc., the group has gained immense popularity among leisure and business travellers. What sets them apart is their motto of providing "hospitality with heart and soul" - a philosophy that reflects in every aspect of their service. The group aims to grow further by adding 5-6 more properties.

Back in 2020, with its first two properties, the management at IRIS Hotels was looking for a Hotel PMS for two primary reasons - to have a control on processes centrally and become compliant with Saudi Arabia's National Tourism Monitoring Platform (NTMP).

"We went for Hotelogix as we were clear about taking our full-service operations to the cloud. Besides, Hotelogix was one of the few PMS vendors to make us compliant with mandatory NTMP in 2020. Moreover, in 2021, it helped us achieve Zakat, Tax, and Custom Authority (ZATCA) compliance," said Hareth Nouh, Financial Manager at IRIS Hotels.

Hotelogix has provided the group with a Mobile Hotel PMS App that enables them to access hotel data and execute tasks on the go. Furthermore, with an integrated Channel Manager, the group has been able to effectively manage rates and inventories across multiple OTAs in real time, thereby ensuring parity.

Speaking further about the benefits they have seen with Hotelogix, Hareth said, "Hotelogix has helped us with our expansion efforts by adding and taking live our new properties quickly. Our corporate office can centrally manage operations across all 4 hotels for improved efficiency and transparency. Hotelogix will power operations across all our upcoming properties."

"It is extremely fulfilling to see IRIS Hotels operate efficiently and grow while complying with the KSA's regulations," said Sivaprasad Gangadharan, Chief Sales Officer at Hotelogix. "We are proud to have played a key role in their success story and look forward to driving value with our product and services".
