Apps for hotels are an upcoming marketing opportunity carrying two-fold benefits in the travel landscape- 1) Enhancing the guest experience, 2) Reducing operational costs and enhancing staff efficiencies. However, having an app alone isn’t the key. Instead, it’s turning that app into unique, helpful and memorable service for guests. It should be capable enough to attract potential guests and keep loyal ones coming back. Big chain hotels have already implemented several interesting apps that allow guests to order room service, check in, fault reporting as well as manage housekeeping tasks. Further, marketing your hotel app through social media or any free platforms can greatly boost up your hotel promotions at minimal costs.
The latest revolution being brought by the Hibox housekeeping app has proven to reduce around 50% time taken to carry out housekeeping tasks and has powerfully enhanced inter-staff communication. This innovative application is a web based service that is hosted on cloud and offers easy reporting of room status to PMS, fault reporting and management through photos, manage multiple cleaning sessions, track minibar usage etc. All this enables better servicing to guests, gives real-time picture of every room’s status and substantial reduction in manpower costs.
Apps are a latest trend for those hotels who wish to plunge into world-class status and offer guests a lasting impression of their stay. Not just this, today apps bear the potential to meet real business needs and make a commercial sense. With all hotels striving to be neck-to-neck in standards, mobile and web based apps can play a crucial role.
As the technology develops, it is not just the hotel-branded apps participating in the competition. Instead, more and more hotels are heating up the competition using various third party apps that are offering tailor made solutions. Believe it or not, the more a hotel can grow its app technology, the better opportunities it has of competing in the tech-savvy world we live in. To conclude, much of a hotel’s repo revolves around digital platforms.
