Talya Information Technologies Serves Hotels with Elektra Software (Resort Magazine February 2012 Issue)

Talya Bilişim has been offering technological solutions to the tourism sector with the Elektra Hotel Management System brand for over 20 years. The company has 2 basic products. Medisoft Hospital Management Software designed for the health sector and Elektra Hotel Management Software offered for the tourism sector. Elektra has been in the sector since 1996, and its technological infrastructure was renewed in 2008 and it was renamed Elektra v3. Tourism is a sector that the company has been in for nearly 20 years and covers more than half of its total activities. Elektra works with distinguished hotels such as Adam & Eve, Hillside, Aqua Fantasy, Ramada Antalya, Klasiss and public institutions such as Ordu Evleri, Tedaş, Tüpraş. The company, which has over 2000 references, serves hotels with 3 offices and 41 dealers. The company's hotel software consists of 18 modules that will allow a hotel to be managed with all its units from the front office to accounting, from stock and fixed assets management to marketing and sales follow-up. Within the scope of the consultancy service it offers together with the software, Talya Bilişim decides which modules will be used according to the size and needs of the hotel and what kind of adaptation work will be done in the software to make the modules to be used suitable for the hotel's working style. Talya Bilişim General Coordinator Nilüfer Durukal says, 'This is actually the most important part of the job, because each hotel has a different working style according to its concept, and the software needs to be flexible and respond to these differences and be qualified.' Durukal draws attention to the fact that it can keep all administrative, financial and operational processes under control with Elektra. Apart from these, the company also makes an effort to train personnel for the sector. Elektra is taught as a course in many universities and tourism schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education. In addition, the company has more than 50,000 tourism professionals that it has trained within its own organization and brought into the sector through its dealers. Talay Bilişim transfers all innovations to its software as soon as possible in order to increase customer satisfaction and to enable them to easily carry out their operations. With the company’s new service ‘Mobile Management’ application, hotel managers can get information about their hotel while they are outside. With this system, hotel occupancy etc. reports can be accessed instantly.
