My opinion

1.0 9 months ago

Comments: I'm very negative regarding Semper.
I find their accounting side totally unpractical and difficult for non-accounting people to use.
None of the info on reports is trustworthy or easy to categorize. Settings need to be changes again and again and again and one user's settings gets pulled over to all users.

Pros:

I can log in remotely - that is the only thing remotely positive regarding Semper. To be fair... the previous system probably also have this option and it would probably be more streamlined than Semper's but never had need to use it before we switched to Semper

Cons:

Data 100% unreliable and everything needs to be double checked. A HUGE problem if you try to pull an annual report.

Review of Semper

5.0 9 months ago

Comments: Very friendly and helpful support staff, they solve issues quickly.

Pros:

I can access Semper from the cloud and quickly generate a quote or invoice and also check availability from my laptop or smart phone

Cons:

I would like Semper to have more options of linking to booking engines like booking.com & Safari. Maybe they do but I was not advised. It would be good to move everything to Semper because Nightsbridge still handles online booking.

Alternatives Considered: NightsBridge

Reasons for Switching to Semper: The invoices were very professional and easy to use.

Semper Hospitality Software

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: The software is stable. Integrates well with other programs, - accounting and other booking systems. The maintenance and development is excellent on the program. The staff are friendly and willing to help and assist all the time.

Pros:

The product stood out from others as it was easy to use. It incorporated tour groups and individuals that other programs could not do. A huge amount of data can be recouped through the record systems and easy to find them. Was easy to set the system up to our needs.

Cons:

There is nothing that I do not like or find irritating.

Alternatives Considered: NightsBridge

Reasons for Switching to Semper: The system could handle tour groups and the individual guest in the group.
