What they say

Real results from hospitality leaders

"The impact has been tremendous. Leadership felt they saved hours per location because they spent less time responding to crises caused by missed pre-requisites."

Director, Transitions

"We made 43 changes since launch; doing it the old way means we would have sent out 43 different versions of the checklist. Pacer allows us to respond to hiccups and still maintain a single checklist. I can “add a task to ’15 days prior to acquisition’ at all locations” and Pacer calculates the right due date per property."

Senior Project Manager

Our Pacer ROI is over 600%, mostly attributed to productivity savings – less meetings, less check-ins, less emails – and more time on execution.

Questions

Find answers about using Pacer for your hospitality operations.

Why is Pacer a better choice for hotel openings, transitions, and implementations instead of other common PM applications?

Pacer was designed specifically for these use cases. We make large-scale initiative planning easier and more efficient, enabling project leaders to communicate with team leads across multiple locations to plan, share, and execute seamlessly in real-time. We have been embraced globally by hotel organizations such as Marriott International, Hyatt Hotels, Hard Rock Hotel & Casinos, and Davidson Hospitality Group, and can be customized to your specific needs to streamline workflow and give management a birds-eye view on project status. Our tools, expertise, and analytics can help harness your organization’s mindpower to evolve your company.

Do you have a hotel opening checklist I can use?

Yes, we offer a comprehensive checklist as a starting point. Most clients customize it to meet their unique needs or use it to verify their Critical Path. What sets Pacer apart is the built-in feedback loop – with each opening, you can refine your templates by incorporating feedback from users, adding property-created tasks, and analyzing task completion data to continuously improve the process (e.g., identifying and addressing consistently delayed tasks).

Will regional team members see all their hotels?

Yes, regional team members can view all hotels in their portfolio, with aggregated data across locations. Pacer offers dynamic location access so the Regional’s access rights will automatically be updated when locations are added or removed to your portfolio. This automated process saves time for administrators. Alternatively, you can grant access to all locations, and team members can apply filters on their own (e.g., by location, brand, or region) to view relevant data and save custom views for quick access in the future.

How long does it typically take to implement and start using Pacer?

A dedicated Pacer Customer Success Manager will collaborate with your team to configure your environment, train your admins and users, and set up your master checklist templates. The onboarding timeline is tailored to your pace, with most clients fully operational within 3-6 weeks, or in some cases, as quickly as 48 hours!

Are hotel managers alerted when they have tasks due soon or past due?

Yes. Users should be encouraged to keep notifications turned on and they will receive updates and reminders from Pacer. In addition, property and above property leaders can set up scheduled emails with past-due tasks for whatever frequency they would like.

Can I have hotels upload pictures or documents for certain tasks?

Yes. Included for everyone is the ability to upload attachments within a given task. All files are visible on each location team’s dashboard. In addition, Pacer also has a workflow for file approval that can be used when the attached file needs to be reviewed.

Can Pacer be integrated with our current systems?

Yes, Pacer offers APIs that can be used to create/edit users (including access rights) and locations, based on information sent to it from your other application(s). You can also have statistics from Pacer presented into other applications. If you want to update or kickoff a workflow in another application, Pacer provides a webhook that can notify other systems on when a task’s status changes. We encourage using Single Sign On (SSO) to simplify authentication for the individual while enhancing security.

For my transitions, can I restrict what some users see?

Yes. Pacer has customers using our app to manage above property tasks, property tasks, and even vendor tasks. There are a couple of ways this can be done in Pacer by utilizing our Community features and/or different baselines. We are happy to share and recommend the best approach for you.

Can I charge the property for these costs?

Yes, this is a common approach. Pacer can assist you in determining the best way to allocate costs. With our enterprise pricing based on in-flight tasks or per user, your costs are predictable and easier to manage, making it simpler to pass them on to the property.
