HOA/POA and Large Scale Community Management Systems:
Katana Software has developed a series of products and solutions specifically built to address the unique member and property-centered information needs of large scale communities.  HOA/POA members have turned to Katana to provide them with solutions that replace and/or integrate accounting, administration, member management, fee management, architectural code enforcement, security, work order management, reserve budgeting, clubhouse POS, golf and tee time scheduling, resort amenity access, and gate and guest management services, and member web site services among others.  Katana can bring the experience of working with dozens of HOA/POA communities to provide customizable or completely new custom-fit solutions.

Timeshare/Enterprise Resorts:
Timeshare resorts are often among the most popular and frequently visited destinations in the hospitality industry.  Katana supports leaders in the timeshare resort industry with products and solutions specifically built for the challenges of managing complex, fractionally owned properties and clubs.  They must be operated and maintained at a constant level of quality and service that will continue to attract visitors.  Katana’s solutions include development of products that are web-based and hosted centrally to provide secure, national and international standards of the highest quality service.  Services include consolidated management monitoring of operations, reserve, and capital account budgeting, cash flow, facilities management, preventative maintenance, and work order management. In short, Katana has developed solutions that allow corporate managers to dynamically monitor key resort activities around the world.

Condo-Hotels:
One of the most popular but challenging markets of the last few years has been the meteoric rise (and sometimes fall) of Condo-Hotels.  Combining key ownership and operating elements of wholly-owned condominiums and traditionally managed hotels, this format presents unique opportunities and risks for both owners and management companies.  Katana has been on the leading edge of applying custom designs to meet this new format.  Katana’s team has developed products that will lead the industry in integration of information for owners and managers.  With custom development and integration solutions, Katana solutions can draw from traditional PMS/reservation systems combined with operational facilities, maintenance and even ownership accounts such as long term reserves.  Nightly revenue can be tracked and forecast to offset cash flow requirements of projected maintenance and reserve replacement expenses for each owner’s account.  Custom solutions will continue to be in high demand as the large number of condo-hotel projects in the development pipeline reach operational state in the next year.

Hotels:
At the heart of every popular and profitable hotel is a service mentality and a dedicated focus on the positive experience of the guest.  Katana can once again bring its mix of custom development and integration solutions to help identify and improve inefficiencies in and between key software service systems.  Katana brings specific experience with developing and integrating facilities management automation, including solutions in fixed asset accounting and maintenance.  Katana can target savings in operating budgets and planning both maintenance and remodeling expenses by delivering solutions that track detailed fixed assets while auto-scheduling and managing both planned and ad hoc maintenance.  As integration experts, Katana can also design and implement systems and solutions that capture key data from existing PMS and other strategic systems for better integration and management support.
