NORTHWIND's President of US Operations, Warren Dehan, said, "NORTHWIND's is continually expanding its Maestro Enterprise Suite to make it the most powerful hospitality property solution in the industry. By adding a strong Retail Point of Sale (POS) System and Golf Management to the extensive family of property automation modules, Maestro Enterprise is able to cost effectively automate virtually every area of hotel, extended stay or timeshare-condo operations, whether for an independent property or a full-service destination resort."

The Maestro Golf Management system is a widely installed world-class tee-time scheduling and tournament solution for professional and private courses and clubs. Maestro Retail POS automates property outlets like pro shops or other stores that maintain extensive inventories to track and automatically post guest purchases and monitor stock levels. Membership Management has proven itself in a wide range of club and private member organizations. All three systems are fully integrated with the Maestro Enterprise Suite of hospitality management modules for single and multi-property hotel companies.    

"NORTHWIND is committed to providing technology tools and services that drive greater productivity and profitability for users. Our new Golf Management, Retail POS and Membership Management systems coupled with our strong commitment to the Four Diamond Service program make Maestro Enterprise Suite the most complete technology solution for hospitality, resort, condo-timeshare and club operators," said Warren Dehan.
