IDS Next's Full-Stack Cloud ERP Solution Adopted by Stone Hotels, Premier Island Hotel in Maldives

IDS Next is proud to partner with Stone Hotels, Dhiffushi, the home of authentic Maldivian island gateways. In collaboration with Terabytes Pvt Ltd., Male, IDS Next's regional partner in the Maldives, Stone Hotel, Dhiffushi, and its sister hotel, Stone Beach Club, have successfully implemented IDS Next's full-stack cloud-native ERP solution.

Stone Hotels Dhiffushi is a beach hotel 30 minutes from Velana International Airport. Situated on the picturesque island of Dhiffushi, this enchanting retreat adds new meaning to the essence of island hospitality, blending contemporary elegance with authentic Maldivian charm.

With our cloud-native ERP system going live at the two properties, IDS Next is set to bolster the operational efficiency and service standards to match the hotel's brand position as a premium hospitality destination in the fast-growing local island tourism industry in the Maldives.

Hosted on Microsoft Azure, it offers security, flexibility, and scalability to drive excellence in hotel operations. Overall, the FX cloud suite is a cutting-edge hotel ERP solution that improves efficiency and service quality, elevating the guest experience to the next level. The solution is distinguished by its seamless centralisation of all hotel operations, providing a comprehensive suite of capabilities for both front-of-house and back-office functions. From guest check-in and check-out, reservations, and housekeeping to guest services and POS operations, its functions are accessible through a user-friendly mobile overlay, allowing hotel staff to respond to guest needs in real-time and manage operations efficiently.

As technology-driven operations become increasingly central to the growth of the hospitality industry, IDS Next's smart software will empower Stone Hotels to offer the ultimate modern island holiday experience. The cloud ERP system is well-positioned to streamline hotel operations, delivering the convenience, efficiency, and personalisation sought by the new generations of hotel guests.

Stone Hotels' Chief Technology Officer, Muaz Mohamed, expressed his thoughts on the partnership with IDS Next: "Technology is an integral part of hotel business in this age and time. It forms the backbone of our operations. Therefore, when we selected a platform, we looked at it as a long-term investment. The platform provider had to be a partner with a long-term view who is ready to adapt according to our business needs and grow with the pace of technological development. We found IDS Next to be the perfect partner in both flexibility and long-term development and growth."

Binu Mathews, CEO of IDS Next, shared his thoughts about this new collaboration: "As a company dedicated to bolstering global hospitality industry standards, IDS Next is proud to partner with Stone Hotels, Dhiffushi, supporting their mission of service excellence."
