Business Intelligence (BI) - first of all it is a huge buzzword used for a huge amount of things which are not BI at all. For our understanding it is a dynamic tool that lets you extract data, convert it into information which will give you the understanding you need to make intelligent business decisions.

With a BI tool you have to be able to drill down, rearrange, and change the model to answer these questions:

  • What happens if?
  • How come that?
  • Why?

BI will help you to answer these questions!

  • Why did sales increase rapidly in July but did not in June?
  • Why are the numbers of returning guests diminishing?
  • Why are guests from Europe booking one month in advance instead of two?
  • Why did guest satisfaction decrease lately for guests staying just one night?

Reporting

Reporting can just provide a static information. This can be the kind of reports you might view daily, weekly or monthly in your hotel. Make sure that your Dashboard is suitable for your needs. Typical reports would be:

  • Managers’ report
  • Transaction journal
  • Monthly accounting report

I am sure you know pretty much why you still need this kind of reports. We all do! But I would like to point out that it is vital also to use a BI tool on a regular base.
