Back-of-house messaging that connects everyone in a hotel, top management to frontline.
Text to get operational data: Top management can get operational data anytime, anyplace through text, without accessing the PMS. For example, How many vacant rooms today? How many available to sell? Any VIP arrivals?
Omni-Channel Guest Messaging: You can personalize and automate your guest experience from booking to departure and thereafter through text messaging. Guests could text you through the channel of their choice: SMS, Whatsapp, RCS.
Smart-Upsell: You can now upsell room upgrades, offers and amenities through automated text messaging directed at the right guest at the right moment.

We help you
merchandise, merchandise,
merchandise
With Smart-Upsell on Cord.travel, you sell not
just the rooms, but amenities and services for
revenue maximization.
By answering questions as to what to sell to
which guest and when and proactively
merchandising these offerings to those guests,
your hotel can find way more success with
your upsells.
Merchandising also offers an opportunity
for showcasing the various amenities at
your hotel.
While seasoned travellers may know how to
get an upgrade or a late checkout, most
guests end up not asking for extras because
they are unfamiliar with the process.

Smart-Upsell
You merchandise your
facilities all through the
stay lifecycle
With Smart-Upsell, we help you gracefully
present your facilities like the spa, your
restaurants, the bar, poolside services, business
services all through the stay.
And with everyone in your hotel connected
through Cord.travel back-of-house messaging
infrastructure, associates can message Andrea
when a particular facility is underutilised for the
Smart-Upsell engine to send real-time offers to
the guests most likely to accept the offer.
Through Smart-Upsell, you stop
wasting valuable staff time operating
archaic manual systems. And your
property starts generating significantly
higher revenues whilst delivering a
highly personalized guest experience
