In recent years, many aspects\nof the hotel industry have changed and adapted to new advancements in\ntechnology. This change comes as vacationers are no longer happy with a sub-par\nhotel rooms limited to the most basic of features. However, with new technology\ncoming into your establishment, you may find it quite overwhelming and not know\nwhat to do. With our help, we can ensure that everything runs smoothly, making\nlife easier for your hotel staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is When a guest enters\ntheir hotel room, they should not be disappointed by the lack of features\npresented to them. Therefore, we would suggest the introduction of an\ninteractive TV system. On the surface, TV systems can be beautiful, informative\nand help you generate more revenue. But the server behind it is where the\nclever stuff happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can integrate Hotel PMS (Property Management Systems) to enhance the benefits of having an Interactive TV system as well as optimising the efficiency of your hotel. PMS, when integrated with your TV system can customise the welcome screen on guests TVs to say, for example, \u2018Welcome Mr. Smith\u2019 as well as allowing you to message them from reception, this message will pop up on their screen as a notification while they are watching TV. The messaging option is much quicker and more efficient way of letting a guest know that they have had a call, their taxi has arrived or that there is someone in reception looking for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the guest\u2019s stay\nin the hotel, you can give them the option to make purchases off the hotel room\nTV. You can add whatever services or products you like, whether it may be a\nlate checkout, spa treatments or a bottle of wine. All of this can easily be\nadded to the Guests TVs for them to purchase at any time. Once they have\npurchased, a message gets sent to the hotel reception to inform you of the\npurchase and to add it to the room bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the guest comes\nto the end of their stay, they can view their room bill on the TV screen as a\nresult of the PMS integration. This will allow guest to overview their spend\nduring the stay and give them an option for an express checkout, eliminating\nthe human interaction at the reception making the whole process more efficient\nas it cuts down queues in the reception area and frees your staff up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the guest has\nchecked out of the hotel room, the PMS will let you know that the room is available\nfor housekeeping to prepare. Furthermore, once the room has been prepared,\nhousekeeping can notify reception via the TV System that the room is ready for\na guest to be checked into. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Digital Signage is\nbecoming more and more popular in the hospitality industry. From digital menu\nboards, information boards and stunning video walls, digital signage offers\nhoteliers with a great opportunity to revolutionise the way they communicate\nwith their guests. Although digital signage can be seen as a significant\ninvestment for a lot of hotels, it allows hoteliers to effectively interact\nwith their guests, reduce costs and ultimately increase their revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Previously, signage\nsolutions may have been frustrating to update. With Cloud-Based signage\nsolutions all the hassle is removed and this allows hoteliers to efficiently\nupdate content in real time from any location. As a result, queues at reception\nwill not be occupied with people asking about local attractions, instead they\ncan refer to the Signage board to get the information they require, therefor optimising\nthe efficiency your reception area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The most effective way\nof using digital signage for a conference room is to have a small screen on the\noutside of the room that allows passers-by to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n With some signage screens, you do not even need to go up to the room to tell that it is occupied, you can tell from a distance due to the halo lighting around the screen, green indicating that the room is free and red signifying that the room is currently occupied. This isn\u2019t a critical factor but its till nice to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Voice command is one of the newest, up and coming technologies in the hospitality Industry with it being implemented into some USA hotels but is yet to really breach into the UK market. With devices such as Alexa, Google Home and Apple\u2019s Siri, voice command is all around us and it\u2019s only a matter of time until it is a common feature in our Hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hotels present a massive opportunity for the use of smart home features in their establishments. Guests would be able to walk into a hotel room and ask the voice command assistant to; turn the lights on, book a table for the on-site restaurant or maybe book a spa day. All of these features give your hotel that \u2018wow\u2019 factor being able to make bookings by talking to a device is much more time effective than having to ring down to reception and disturb one of your busy staff members, therefore optimising the way people interact with your hotel and freeing up time for some staff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Voice\ncommand does not only have a place in the bedrooms. It can also effectively be\nimplemented into your conference rooms. During a meeting\/ presentation, if someone likes to talk for a bit too\nlong you can always set a timer using a device like Amazon Echo<\/a> or the Google Home mini<\/a>, it keeps everyone on track and will not let the meeting run over\nschedule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n These devices are especially good for filling the time whilst you wait for the last person to turn up who will be there any minute. The Echo and Google Home Mini can tell you all the latest news headlines or even tell you a few (awful) jokes, if that is not your thing then you could always ask it to play you some music whilst you wait.<\/p>\n\n\n In recent years, many aspects of the hotel industry have changed and adapted to new advancements in technology.
