- **1,000+** openings — proven at scale
- **146** countries
- **30** modules, one shared record
- **2021** in production since

## Not missing. Just in multiple places.

*Today*

Pre-opening work is spread across e-mails, files, reports and disconnected tools — every department in its own silo.

1. Finding information
2. Chasing updates
3. Risks surface too late to intervene

## Every opening. Live, in one place.

*With COMPASS*

Each department’s update lands on its opening — the moment it’s made.

- Every opening on one screen, by days to doors open
- Site photos, budgets, hires — visible to everyone
- Miss a milestone — the opening turns amber that day

## Everything it takes to open a hotel. One platform.

*What’s inside*
