-- Revolutionary technology that enables seamless, always-on package booking boosts revenue and guest engagement while maintaining staff efficiency through intelligent automation and personalization--

ALPHARETTA, Ga.: Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading global provider of next-generation hospitality software and services, today announced that its Book with S.P.E.N.D. (Stay Package Entitlement New Dynamic) booking technology has received the 2025 HTNG TechOvation Award, one of most respected honors for technology advancement in the hospitality industry.

This powerful advancement in online package booking technology makes available for the first time in the hospitality industry the ability for properties to promote and fulfill packages while also relieving staff of manual tasks and time associated with reserving package entitlements. Guests select packages and reserve entitlements online without having to call or email property staff. S.P.E.N.D. booking technology automatically ensures adherence to all entitlement rules and workflows to prevent overbooking. Guests easily reserve all related package entitlements for everyone in their party in one “prompted and guided” online session without having to visit multiple websites or make multiple calls.

Eliminating manual coordination and staff involvement dramatically improves package execution and management so that properties can promote and fulfill a wider variety of packages simultaneously to boost revenue without adding any associated cost or staff stress.

David Sjolander, AHLA VP, HTNG Operations, commented, “The HTNG TechOvation Award highlights innovations that help our industry improve across factors important to guests, staff, operators and owners. Industry leaders recognized the advanced Agilysys Book with S.P.E.N.D. solution for its ability to maximize package-booking revenue by unifying guest data across experiences, optimizing capacity across revenue centers and providing 24/7/365 guest self-service convenience.”

This solution eliminates several significant operational challenges, enables increasing non-room hotel amenity revenue and reducing reduces call-center labor costs.”
