Communications Systems to Delight your Customers

However, if you want to deliver experiences that are unforgettable for all the right reasons, there are a few communication hurdles you’ll need to surmount. Find out the key requirements of hospitality communications and how to tick every box…

You can’t delight guests without a brilliant workforce. As well as recruiting the right people, your team needs to work as one to deliver the level of service that’s desired and often expected by your customers. As a minimum, employees should be able to connect from any device in any location to keep them fully informed and available to always assist guests.

As well as delivering the service they expect, technology can be used to create unique experiences for your guests. Not everyone wants to make a booking over the phone or through a faceless online portal, for example.

With the right infrastructure, you can give customers the freedom to engage with your hospitality brand however they choose.

Whether it’s a query from front of house to the bookings department or a call between two different sites, the volume of calls in hospitality can soon stack up.

That’s why it’s imperative to minimise the cost per call as well as ensuring your system is reliable and high-quality. Doing so will give you the best efficiency (and cost-efficiency) going forward, so teams can stay connected without worry or frustration.

Here’s where it gets tricky for countless hospitality organizations…

With multiple sites and differing technologies, management can become a nightmare. Managing multiple contracts with different durations, SLAs and points of contact is hard enough. Not to mention any attempt to monitor staff performance through those various technologies.

Another significant challenge in hospitality is the revolving door of hardware.

To give your customers the best experience, your team need the latest devices. You don’t want to fall behind the competition, but it seems like technology is continuously being improved. That means constantly investing in new hardware with high upfront costs and no protection on that investment when the next generation of devices comes around.

Finally, there’s the cloud hanging over the heads of countless hospitality organizations – we’re talking, quite literally, about moving to the cloud.

Everyone knows that it’s beneficial (and becoming essential) for scalability, cost-efficiency, security, collaboration and so much more. But all too often, it feels like an insurmountable task migrating multiple legacy technologies, across multiple sites, without disruption.
