Hospitality

A hotel lives on its occupancy rate. Overbooking and a room sold but not ready are the two most expensive mistakes, and the system can prevent both.

Stakes

What weighs on the trade

  • Synchronising availability across channels
  • Coordination between reception and housekeeping
  • Billing of extras and services
  • Energy cost per room

Critical operations

What must not stop

  • Booking and room allocation
  • Check-in and check-out
  • Housekeeping and turnaround
  • Billing and payment
  • Room maintenance

Why digitalise

What technology changes here

When reception, housekeeping and maintenance share the same live status for every room, a vacated room becomes sellable within the hour instead of the next day.

What can be automated

  • Availability updated across all channels
  • Room allocation according to rules
  • Housekeeping tasks planned by floor
  • Automatic billing of services consumed
  • Booking confirmation and reminders
