April 30, 2010—The Fairmont Southampton and Hamilton Princess—two resorts representing 962 rooms, 66 suites, eight restaurants and a golf course—have taken a truly proactive approach to procurement by deploying Adaco at the two properties.

The 125-year-old Fairmont Hamilton Princess, the oldest hotel in the Fairmont chain, is an elegant tribute to the old world splendor that is Bermuda and boasts as past guests Mark Twain and Ian Fleming. Fairmont Southampton, the island's most inclusive resort, is pristine pink sand beaches, exotic tropical flora and spectacular sunsets.

Keeping the resorts well-supplied, from shampoo to shrimp, is Adaco, the hospitality industry's standard-bearer for making comprehensive, consistent and reliable procurement decisions.

“We clearly see advantages and a distinct improvement in controls,” said Regional Controller Kevin Taylor. “One of the benefits is the summary of issues and processes report, which quickly identifies at any moment of time of the value of food on-hand. We also have found it includes an excellent recipe module that has helped us track costs.”

“I believe this is a a great improvement over the previous Adaco version,” said Area Systems Manager Peter Cahusac. “There is a modern, user-friendly GUI, and Adaco has provided substantive support.”

“With the nearest warehouses hundreds of miles away by ship, I know the Fairmont Bermuda properties face significant procurement challenges,” said Eddie McDonough, Vice President of Sales. “We are proud to be a part of the rich heritage and signature Fairmont quality that ensure the resorts remain the best in Bermuda.”
