Hotel workforce management · Amadeus integration

AI workforce management for hotels on Amadeus.

HotelCadence is a workforce management platform for hotels: it reads the reservation data already in Amadeus Cloud Property Management (read-only) and turns it into hourly demand forecasts per department and auto-drafted rosters your managers approve. Hotels cut 6–12% of labor cost without cutting guest service — and nothing writes back into Amadeus.

Worked example

Jakarta, 300 rooms: the conference block was in Amadeus for weeks

A convention house rostered the desk flat at seven all day. When the Thursday block landed at 15:00, twelve agents' worth of arrivals hit seven people, while the quiet morning had paid for agents with nothing to do. The block, its rooming list and the transient pickup around it were all in Amadeus weeks earlier — staffed to that curve, the same day runs without the queue.

Group arrival day, front desk: the demand-matched roster (bars) follows staff required from Amadeus blocks and pickup (line); the flat manual roster of seven (dashed) idled the morning and drowned at 16:00.

Setup

Go live in three steps

Read-only access · counts and dates only, no guest-identifying data · revocable by your Amadeus administrator at any time.

Step 1

Authorize read-only access

Your Amadeus administrator authorizes a read-only integration connection scoped to the pilot properties. Front-desk screens do not change and nothing is written back, this is configuration, not an interface project.

Step 2

Backfill and calibrate

HotelCadence pulls up to two years of Amadeus reservation history, including group blocks and pickup, and calibrates hourly demand forecasts per department against your own actuals before anyone rosters against them.

Step 3

Go live and measure

Forecasts refresh as pickup and block wash change, and draft rosters flag shifts that no longer match demand. Managers approve everything, and results are measured monthly against your agreed baseline.

Amadeus integration questions, answered

How long does an Amadeus PMS integration take?

The gating step is your Amadeus administrator authorizing read-only access; backfill and forecast calibration run in parallel after that. Integration is included in the 90-day pilot (from US$7,500), and multi-property groups typically stagger go-lives.

Which Amadeus systems does HotelCadence connect to?

Amadeus Cloud Property Management (formerly Itesso) is the standard connection. Properties on Amadeus IDPMS or PM Pro are scoped individually in the integration audit and usually start from scheduled read-only exports, then move to a direct feed.

Our business is heavy on groups and conventions, can you forecast that?

Yes, that is the profile this page is written for. Group blocks, expected wash and transient pickup all flow from Amadeus into the forecast, so a Thursday 15:00 conference arrival wave shows up in the front-desk roster weeks ahead, not on the day.

Does HotelCadence write anything back into Amadeus?

No. The connection is read-only and nothing is written back, rates, reservations, profiles and blocks in Amadeus are never touched. Forecasts and draft rosters live in HotelCadence, where managers review and approve them.

Where does our data live, and what about guest privacy?

HotelCadence needs counts, dates, rates and segments, not guest-identifying data. Hosting is in-region, with Singapore as the default APAC residency and portfolio-specific options for chains of 10 or more properties.

Part of our portfolio runs OPERA Cloud or Mews, can one rollout cover both?

Yes. Amadeus properties connect via their read-only feed, OPERA Cloud via OHIP, Mews and Cloudbeds via their own APIs, and the whole portfolio rolls up into one view with identical per-department, per-hour forecasts and one baseline measurement method.
