How Veisla is different
We compare situations rather than feature lists. Below are typical moments in conference operations and how they play out with a traditional hotel PMS, with a patchwork of separate tools, and with Veisla, including where we are not the right fit.
The bedrooms are in the PMS, while meeting rooms and catering are handled in a separate event tool or a spreadsheet, and the two have to be kept in step.
The booking comes in by email, the room block sits in Excel and the catering is on a note. Nobody sees the whole booking.
One record holds the bedrooms, meeting rooms, catering, proposal and invoice. Change one thing and the rest updates.
A PMS rarely includes a CRM, so the enquiry sits in the inbox until someone gets to it.
It lands in an email thread alongside everything else and is easily missed.
It is logged as a lead with the details sales needs, the proposal is drafted and the follow-up is scheduled.
Events are often a separate module or missing altogether, and the BEO is printed on paper.
The kitchen gets a spreadsheet or an email that may be out of date as soon as it is sent.
Functions on a timeline produce the BEO directly from the event, so when the programme changes, the BEO changes with it.
Stand booking is rarely part of a hotel PMS.
Handled manually, with emails, a stand map and invoices raised by hand.
Exhibitors choose and pay for their stand online, with a floor plan and confirmation.
International systems have to be adapted to local rules, which is often a project in itself.
Done by hand, with the risk of the wrong VAT rate on rooms versus catering.
PEPPOL e-invoicing, SAF-T and per-line VAT are built in. Norwegian rules apply today; local rules are reviewed with you before start.
Licence models with modules and add-ons that are hard to compare.
Low licence costs, but a high cost in staff time and hidden errors.
A base price from €435/mo, then per room and per m², so you pay for what you switch on.

Veisla is not the right choice for every hotel:
