Ruby Hotels selects Shiji’s Infrasys Cloud for its Point-of-Sale Platform

Munich Germany, June 25, 2019- Ruby Hotels has selected Infrasys Cloud point-of-sale (POS) to power their Ruby Lilly location in Munich Germany.

When searching for a POS system, Ruby Hotels was looking for a system that was intuitive, flexible, and able to grow with them. With Infrasys, Ruby Hotels can expand their portfolio quickly and seamlessly. The native cloud-based platform makes it easy for Ruby to track revenue, manage pricing and much more, anytime, anywhere; for their entire enterprise.

Our goal is to provide a contemporary and affordable form of luxury hotel to our customers, and to do that, we rely on technology where it doesn’t compromise individuality.
