OSEM Function Diary: Maximize Events Revenue Potential with this Powerful Tool in Oracle Sales & Events Management
Manual Banquet Sales Ledger
Hotels that operate manually usually have a large booklet stationed in the Banquet Sales office. This booklet is shared across the entire team to record event bookings, track space availability, resource allocation, and more.
This can be very hectic for the team and, as a result, delays in making bookings and responding to sales prospects can occur. In the end, the hotel may lose valuable revenue opportunities.
OSEM Function Diary
With OSEM, the manual banquet sales booklet is digitized and automated through an inbuilt feature – the Function Diary.
This feature is a visual scheduling tool that displays event space availability by hour, day, or week. Its core advantages include real-time inventory tracking, deep booking visibility, and color-coded status management that helps prevent double bookings and streamline hotel event operations.
