Hotel software comparison
protel PMS alternative: LODGIC360 compared
Looking for hotel software that goes beyond a PMS alone? Below we put LODGIC360 and protel PMS (today part of Planet) side by side, focusing on what hoteliers in the Benelux miss most: personal local support and a POS system including hardware that truly lives inside the PMS.
Why hoteliers look for a protel alternative
protel is a well-established name in hotel software and has been part of Planet since the acquisition. The platform is broad, but hoteliers often tell us the same: the rollout runs through partners and integrations, POS and payment hardware sit in other products, and the implementation project takes long for a property with twenty to a hundred rooms.
LODGIC360 was built around exactly those points. One platform with PMS, CMS and POS, delivered and supported by a local team.
Only at LODGIC360: personal custom work on top of the package
Every hotel, B&B and holiday park works differently. Where other vendors push you into a fixed standard package, we genuinely build along with you: missing a feature, a report or an integration you need? Our in-house developers build it for you. We are the only provider that offers this as standard.
- In-house development team — no external partners, no long queues
- Screens, workflows and reports tailored to the way you work
- Custom integrations with the tools you already use
- Your ideas end up on our roadmap
