How HostnFly Used Duve to Streamline Guest Communication and Uplift Revenues Across 90 Different Brands

GUEST EXPERIENCE

HostnFly, market leaders of apartment rentals in Paris, searched for a flexible system that would allow them to manage thousands of rentals across France, which host guests from multiple countries speaking a variety of languages.

Why it matters: HostnFly's headquarters required a solution that would allow them to efficiently track and coordinate guests' arrival and departure times, communicate with thousands of guests at the same time, and upsell specific items to different guests based on the properties that they have reserved for.

Duve's flexible web-based solution allows HostnFly to manage multiple brands from one account, while including analytics on all brands together, or each one separately to help them track their guest experience activities at any point in time. With functions such as online check-in, HostnFly could easily offer guests upsells before their arrival.

Top 3 Core Objectives: HostnFly searched for one end-to-end solution that would allow them to manage upsells and communicate with guests efficiently.

Efficient Guest Communication: Provide guests with information they need about check-in and check-out times, local suggestions and house manuals
Arrival & Departure Coordination: Coordinate when guests are arriving or leaving the apartment so that they could better coordinate with their cleaning companies
Custom upsells per brand: Upsell linen purchases and other services for all brands under HostnFly
