Part 1:
How to build even better relationships
while needing to increase guest and staff safety, by deploying online guest
services
Maximising hospitality at a safe distance
Steve Bliekendaal
Business Development
Director,
Clock PMS+
A global challenge ADDING WEIGHT
to what was already a desperate
need for hotels to commit to
DIRECT, digital guest relationships
The new need for safe distancing in
the shadow of the rise of the silent
traveller, who has been demanding
online services for some time
Discovering ways to recapture
relationships that were watered
down by the arrival of online and
OTAs, offering great opportunities
Guests that aren’t (pre-arrival)
ghosts are of far greater value to
businesses of all types and sizes
and therefore should be preferred
Where many industries have gone
before, much can be learnt from
tried & tested, digital customer
platforms out there.
Deploying adaptable platforms, like a
part guest facing PMS and associated
tools lets hotels deliver quality,
HOSPITABLE services.
1. Guide, where necessary
intercept and in all cases
maintain contact with as many
guests as remotely possible
2. Deliver a single, low threshold
platform that enables many,
meaningful online services and
can easily be aligned to change
4. Keep taking guests back there
throughout their journey and
capture quality information in the
right place and at the right time
3. Enrich this platform with
external services and content,
listen to guests and tweak it to suit
every practical and newborn need

  15. Krasimir: Thanks Jordan. Indeed, we have a fascinating group of people bearing professional hoteliering in their hearts, coming from organisations from booths sides of the Atlantic ocean. These are all key members of the teams of companies who have recognised and prioritised the digital transformation of their own or their customers' hotel organisations. We have got Skader Gasmi. Director of Digital transformation of Hub H, the digital transformation division of HappyClulture by Honotel from France. HappyCulture manage 37 hotels across France and had recognised that the digital transformation was the way ahead for hospitality. We have got Nik Jasprica, Director of Revenue at one of the leading groups of boutique hotels in the US. They are managing almost 30 hotels across the US. Digitalisation nas also been central for the growth and their customer centric approach. And we have got Oliver Geldner, a Partner at one of the leading revenue management and hotel tech consultancies in North-western Europe, based in Sweden, but operating across Europe. Taktikon combines a few very interesting competences - revenue management, hotel technology and operations management. 00:24:30 Q1: Please, briefly introduce yourself and your companies. Skander, Nik, Oliver 00:30:00 Q2: How to operate in the situation of deflated demand and requirements for social distancing and can technology help? How are you facilitating the guest experience and service differently compared to 6 months back from now? 00:40:00 Q3: What changes did you implement in the guest journey and how are you facilitating the guest service and experience? What form the hotel tech that you had already adopted prior to the crisis has helped you respond better? To Oliver: What did hoteliers in Sweden, one of the very few countries with a very liberal regime which never locked down the economy, do to adapt to the situation and to reassure their guests, to increase the safety for both guests and staff members and to engage guests in this very strange situation? 00:50:00 Krasimir: Thank you Skander, Oliver and Nikola for the very useful insights. Jordan, back to you for the the second panel today: Hotel technology that enables virtual guest services
  16. Jordan: Q1: How were hotels that were using [Whistle, Bookboost, Clock, 4Suites, Adyen] at an advantage when the Corona virus hit relative to hotels on legacy systems/processes? 01:00:00 Q2: What have been the most creative or inspirational pivots/strategies/covid responses you’ve seen implemented amongst your clients? 01:07:30 Q3: In what ways have you pivoted/developed your product suite to meet the unique needs of a post covid world? In what ways are clients using your tech differently than they did before the crisis? 01:15:00
  17. Jordan: Wrapping up and going to the questions from the attendees To all hotel tech-vendors and hoteliers: If you were opening a hotel tomorrow, what would the ideal tech stack and guest journey look like in relation to contactless operations and remote management? 01:25:00 Jordan: Questions from the attendees
  18. Welcome
