STS organizes my Day!
Overall, I am more organized and productive because of sts. It allows me to work ahead when I need to and record all of my activity. Working in sales can be a fast paced environment and it definitely keeps up with me!
Pros
I love STS! My favorite features are the follow ups, it helps me set reminders to keep communicating with my clients, and since there are hundreds of them, I need the reminder! I also like the reporting functions, it lets me know my progress and help set goals for the rest of the week.
Cons
What I like least is that it is Web based, which means the performance can vary because of WIFI or general setbacks. this doesn't happen often but when it does it seems it is always at the most inconvenient time lol.

Wonderful service and easy to use product
I love the quick response from the sales team and the helpdesk. I have been working with the program for several years now and really feel that it makes my teams job easier.
Pros
I enjoy the ease of use and how intuitive the product is. It is ideal for a smaller independent property and sales team - and ideal when compared to Delphi in ease of use and price point.
Cons
I love STS and the partner product proposal path- but I with the two worked together for pace reporting.

STS Review
It works but I think that there are numerous things that could make it a better product.
Pros
I like that it offers the ability to send a proposal and a contract and receive back a signed contract and the ability to encrypt the credit card information. I also like how the proposal looks. I like that it is cloud based.
Cons
I don't like that it is not very user friendly. My clients often have issues with the e-signature software. I don't like that there is not an option to provide a BEO without prices on it like there was with the software that I used before. I don't like that I can only duplicate a booking from the booking page and not just from being in a particular booking.

A great system in need of some security features.
In general, our experience have been good. It is a great program easy to read and to work with. We can't wait to receive more improvements.
Pros
Love that is web based and can be accessed virtually anywhere.
Cons
I don't like that it does not have any security levels. Anyone can log in and make changes to any bookings without permission. There should be levels of authority where the Director of Sales and the Administrator are the only ones that can make changes to other user accounts. Similar programs allow "only" the Director of Sales and "Admin" to change bookings from tentative to definite and to be able to have access to all reports. In addition, all contracts print with a small font making it difficult for many clients to be able to read them.

Good but would appreciate a new feature
Over all I am quite please with the program.
Pros
It is very user friendly and easy to use. I was able to navigate the program and use it with minimal training. I love the reports feature that allows you to access a wide verity of reports. The search feature is great as well and very helpful.
Cons
I wish that when emails are linking to STS that it would link that correspondence to the contact, not the account. If we ever move a contact to another account or an account of their own, all correspondence with them does not come along to the new account with the move. Also if you click on a contact it would be nice to be able to view all activity and correspondence from that contact under their info. This would help immensely on accounts that have multiple contacts. That way you don't need to go sorting through pages of information to see what that one contact said or did.

User Friendly But Lacking on Reporting
STS makes tracking bookings and accounts very easy, and we are also able to use it as a tool for prospecting.
Pros
STS is very user friendly. Having some experience in Delphi, I was able to make the transition to STS easily.
Cons
Reporting at times can be inaccurate. Reports will randomly show no revenue for groups that have been entered with revenue. Also STS has yet to successfully integrate with our Operating System, though that is probably more the fault of the OS than STS.
Response from STS Cloud
Hi Rachel. Thank you for your review of STS Cloud. We appreciate your comments and feedback. Please send me details related to the inaccurate reporting. We can help troubleshoot and resolve the issue. Regarding integration with your PMS. You should have a one-way interface already set up. This feeds pick up numbers for group bookings back into your STS Cloud system. If this is not working, please let us know.

STS at The Godfrey Hotel and Cabanas
Overall it has been trial and error as any new software. I have learned a lot about fixing the codes so I am able to fix most things on my own.
Pros
It is easy, self explanatory easy to learn.
Cons
I don't like that the BEOs have the Sales Manager listed on them and not the Catering Manager. I also don't like that the resume only shows the account name and not the booking name.
Response from STS Cloud
Hi Samantha. Thank you for the review, we appreciate and value your feedback. Our BEO's offer quite a bit of flexibility to customize content per client. I'll put in a request with our team to add the Catering Manager's name. We'll also look into adding the booking name to your group resume.

Great program
STS is a great program for hospitality service.
Pros
Running the reports are easier compared to our older program (Five Star)
It's easier to search when you are looking for a particular event.
Cons
When looking at the function diary, you should be able to type the date instead on clicking the calendar.
Response from STS Cloud
Thank you for your comments! The Function Diary lookup does use a calendar for a date, and you can also change the view from daily to Weekly or Monthly if a user prefers a wider view of space availability as well.

Love STS
I have been working with STS for a little over a month and I definitely like it
Pros
How fast it works and I find all my answers regarding groups.
It's always the number one to go to if I needed to get to the bottom of a group
Cons
In order for me to get to a change that happened within a group, I wish there was a shorter route to do so
Response from STS Cloud
Hi Dina. Thank you for the review. I have some suggestions for you when make changes to a group. To get to the account or booking quicker, try using the rocketship icon in the top left corner. The rocketship provides quick access to your recent accounts and bookings. You can also try using the search field. You can search by any key term (account, contact, booking, etc....). The results of the search will take you directly to an account or booking. Hope this is helpful.

Great Software that is essential to Hospitality Sales
Great so far. No complaints. Easy to use, easy to load anywhere.
Pros
Ease of use and access that I can utilize anywhere. Meeting and catering easy to load into system and calendars easy access.
Cons
Nothing. everything is pretty simple to use and access. Not many glitches like older programs in the past.

Nice Change
I have seen better communication among departments as all of our correspondence with clients can be found in one place. If one of the sales team is absent and one of their clients contacts for assistance, another team member can see what has been discussed and help to the best of their ability.
Pros
I like how I can access everything from home. Prior to our switch to the cloud, we used the desktop version of STS which made it difficult for me to access outside of the office as I use a Macbook at home. I do also like its ability to store all of our information (documents, emails, contracts, etc.). All of our needs are in one place.
Cons
I still have some technical difficulties when it comes to moving or changing events. Sometimes the service charge or taxing area is adjusted, then saved, and it still will not show on the catering functions as changed. I also have trouble deleting an event as we were reorganizing our accounts and contacts into new groupings and accidentally duplicated some events. I try to delete them and it will not work.

STS Review
overall experience has been very positive and I would recommend using the STS system.
Pros
The STS system is largely intuitive to use. features are well placed and easy to find. Customer service is responsive and the team has adapted well to transitioning from using STS from Delphi. Far more "bang for the buck" with STS vs Delphi as well.
Cons
I wish the back end reporting was more robust and I would like to have the option to create custom reports (like Market Vision)
Response from STS Cloud
Thank you for your feedback and we appreciate our partnership with you. We are always working on reports to enhance the tool and incorporate more ways to provide some user specific needs for data.

STS is a great tool for Sales Professionals!!
Pros
I like the ability to input your daily calls into STS and then at the end of the week you are able to send your report to your Manager or to your Director. I also like that you are able to create traces and add notes to setup reminders for clients that you will need to follow up with.
Cons
I would like for the opportunity section to be a little different when making calculations for different cabins when using the cruise ship format that I am currently using.

BWP
It took some time for us to understand exactly how and where to enter information so that the reports would come out properly and everyone could go online and look at the information,
Pros
Reporting aspect of the system, once we figured out how to get what we needed.
Cons
Learning all of the tricks to make it work for us
Response from STS Cloud

Easy to Use, Modern CRM for the 21st Century
So far I have really enjoyed using STS. I used Hotel SalesPro previously and I have some limited experience with Delphi and STS is far and away a better program than either of those. It is a very easy system to learn and use.
Pros
The software is intuitive and offers a lot of great functionality that is missing from older systems - like the ability to automatically log emails that are sent and attach them to the correct account. I also appreciate that there are a few different ways to navigate between different areas of the CRM, whether you use the search bar, the "rocket ship", or click on the accounts tab.
Cons
Certain things are difficult to find sometimes - like the contact name for a group. Also, changing the contact name on a group is a hassle. These are relatively minor annoyances, though.

STS Review
STS definitely helps with my overall organization and has made the Proposal side quick to draw up.
Pros
STS Cloud is our Proposal and Contracting System. It has ease of adding and updating Clients in the system. The Calendar makes it easy to keep track of what you have going on at your venue. From Meetings to Banquets to back of the house goings on, it is all on your Event Calendar. I also like the daily Dashboard. This gives you your week at a glance, making it easy to plan your weekly strategy.
Cons
The Function Diary is a little confusing. It seams like it would be easier to just have the Event Calendar. On the Proposal Path side, once your have a Proposal that is to become an event, it doesn't convert to a Contract in STS>

STS Review
Overall it is a great option for smaller companies - I can see that it is growing and enhancing it's features. I hope to be able to utilize it to it's fullest potential.
Pros
I like that it is web based and that it runs rather quickly and efficiently.
Cons
There are many little things that I find to be not user friendly. Having come from a property that used Delphi.fdc I find that there a lot more features with that system than with this one.
Example - hiding details from an Event Order, Copying Event Orders, Referencing Event Order Numbers, Merging Event Orders, Sorting Data, Searching Bookings - all much easier to do in Delphi.fdc

STS Sales and Catering
The program is cloud based, so sales trips and remote working is easy.
Pros
Easy to use, great layout, love that its cloud based. Can work remotely if needed.
Cons
Software is very slow. Reporting is hit and miss. Would like to see increased speed and reliable reporting. I also use to for two hotels, and when I copy a booking it brings over the rooms from one hotel to the other on the back end, even to the screen is blank when I enter in my rooms.
Response from STS Cloud
Thank you for your feedback. Our programming team has addressed the comment noted about the copy function in a multiple hotel database. We appreciate your client input to make improvement for all users.

Whole Office loves STS
Pros
STS has a simple, clean design that is very user-friendly. It's consistent and reliable, I don't ever "lose information" or have to wait for processing. It does exactly what it says it will do.
Cons
The search function. If you hit enter, the search doesn't work. You have to just type in the search words and wait, but muscle-memory has me hitting enter because that's how every other platform operates! It seems minor, but it's oddly counter-intuitive and I notice it a lot.

STS- Does the job
I just dont find STS easy to integrate into my routine. It feels more like a chore and less like something that makes my job easier.
Pros
I think overall this site is pretty easy to navigate and user friendly.
Cons
I don't like that this software does not integrate with our PMS system, Opera. It creates twice the work in most cases and I find it to be a chore to use STS instead of it being something that makes my job easier as a sales software should.
Response from STS Cloud
Thank you for the review, Rebecca. Opera interface is almost done. This will be an optional add-on shortly.
