2023 marked a record-setting year for Above Property Services (APS®), and predicts 2024 will be a game changer for the company and its customers. APS has experienced unprecedented success, solidifying its position as a dominant hotel and travel technology solutions provider. The company has experienced a landmark year of milestones, including new clients, technology integrations, increased transaction volumes, product enhancements, and expanded partnerships.

With an emphasis on delivering exceptional service, APS has experienced a surge in demand for its cloud-based, state-of-the-art microservice architecture, doubling its portfolio in the last 12 months. The company has attracted a diverse range of organizations who recognize their commitment to delivering exceptional results, including Great Wolf Lodge, 88 Palms and Event Center, Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, Warner Hotels, and Travel Funders Network.

We are incredibly proud of our achievements in the past year, said Aaron Shepherd, CEO. Our entire team has worked tirelessly to develop and implement solutions that drive efficiency, productivity, revenue, and cost savings for our clients and partners.

Another one of the key factors contributing to their success is APS’ commitment to staying ahead of the curve. According to Shepherd, the rapidly evolving nature of the technology landscape offers APS the unique opportunity to continue to move upstream, away from mainstream commoditized systems.

The company has consistently invested in cutting-edge research and development to identify emerging trends and harness the latest technologies to optimize their clients' operations. This dedication has enabled APS to provide flexible, scalable, intuitive solutions that address the unique challenges faced by each client. The APS travel platform allows for both the storage of rates/inventory and the ability to access 3rd-party rates/inventory seamlessly at scale. Some of the 2023 innovations and integrations include:

• Trek™ - APS new packaging booking tool
• Juniper - Distribution
• Sabre CSL - Distribution
• HotelTrader - Distribution
• Groupon - Distribution
• Go City - Activities
• Maverick Helicopters
• Papillon Helicopters
• MGM Tickets
• Hotelbeds Transfers
• ConnexPay Payments connection
• Wex Payments Payments connection
• Duetto RMS integration
• Oracle OXI PMS integration
• Oracle OHIP PMS integration

With over 1,100 web services driving more than 10,000 unique features and capabilities, APS’s Distributed Reservations, Inline Revenue Management®, Channel Management, Call Center, and Property Management System (PMS) work to re-imagine how core travel systems operate today. APS also offers a signature ‘Hotel in a Box’ all-in-one solution for independent hotel properties.

Looking ahead, APS is excited to continue its growth trajectory and build upon its success. The company remains committed to providing exceptional service, fostering strong client relationships, and leading the industry in technological transformation.

As we move into 2024, we need to work on simplexity, in my opinion, explains Aaron Shepherd, CEO. Simplexity is a neologism that proposes a possible complementary relationship between complexity and simplicity. We have a very ambitious roadmap with impactful ideas to inspire and enable our partners in the hotel and travel space to use technology to achieve and exceed their business goals.
