Provides for an End to End Guest Journey experience which is different to other vendors. The easy of deployment and onboarding is flexible and adaptable to a variey of properties. Each of the modules can be selected and deployed as the property progresses during the digital transformation.
Canary is a highly innovative solution that helps hoteliers streamline operations, increase revenue and enhance the guest experience by automating processes and leveraging AI.
It is also a very dynamic, fast-growing company, continuously releasing new and smarter features.
Canary makes everyday guest relations so much easier to the hotels. The segments which can take time and sometimes be frustrating, as well as repetitive tasks are automated and their advantages are easy to explain.
Canary Technologies delivers an elegant, reliable, and scalable suite of guest experience tools that solve real operational pain points for hotels. The platform stands out for its intuitive user interface, seamless integrations with PMS systems, and the tangible revenue uplift achieved through contactless check-in, upselling, and digital tipping. It enables hotels to modernize guest touchpoints while reducing friction for both staff and guests.
Canary really shines in how it elevates the guest journey alongside Mews. From smooth digital check-in to messaging and upsells, the experience becomes faster and far more intuitive for both staff and guests. Hotels adopting Canary in a Mews environment usually feel the impact immediately in efficiency, clarity, and overall guest satisfaction.
Question:
What differentiates this product or service from the competition?
Answer:
The team behind the product and each module is industry leading. Canary has listed to the customer and developed a suite of modules which are can migrate leagcy options and on-board staff quickly. This enables Hoteliers to better engage guests.
Showing all answers to: "What differentiates this product or service from the competition?"
The team behind the product and each module is industry leading. Canary has listed to the customer and developed a suite of modules which are can migrate leagcy options and on-board staff quickly. This enables Hoteliers to better engage guests.
The first key differentiator I would highlight is usability: the solution is very easy to use, even for non tech-savvy users. This makes a real difference not only on the guest side, but also for hoteliers, especially when it comes to change management across the organization.
The second one is the breadth of the product portfolio, which covers the entire guest journey, from the first guest touchpoints across hotel’s digital channels to post-stay phase.
Canary is already a well known name in the Hospitality industry. The innovations that Canary brought to the market have become a standard in the meantime and that is what really makes Canary unique. Their proactive approach and innovations make Canary an industry leader, not a follower.
Unlike fragmented or legacy solutions, Canary offers a unified ecosystem that covers the entire guest journey—from pre-arrival verification to in-stay communication and post-stay engagement. Its rapid implementation process, strong security standards, and measurable ROI make it a top choice for hoteliers. The company’s customer success and support teams are also exceptional, ensuring hotels extract full value from every product module.
What sets Canary apart is how naturally it fits with Mews and enhances the full guest flow instead of just solving one isolated problem. Many tools try to cover pieces of the journey, but Canary brings everything together with clean UX, strong automation, and reliable integrations. It feels purpose-built for hotels that want modern operations without unnecessary complexity.
Question:
Based on your experience with this product or service, if you could give one piece of advice to a hotelier considering this product or service, what would it be?
Answer:
You can significantly improve your guest engagement using this product from arrival to departure and post stay. Guest Interaction is streamlined and every call is answered in a timely manner and managed promptly.
Showing all answers to: "Based on your experience with this product or service, if you could give one piece of advice to a hotelier considering this product or service, what would it be?"
You can significantly improve your guest engagement using this product from arrival to departure and post stay. Guest Interaction is streamlined and every call is answered in a timely manner and managed promptly.
I would suggest booking a demo and piloting the solution by starting with 2–3 modules, allowing the team to test the platform in a controlled and pragmatic way.
This approach makes it possible to quickly assess the strong return on investment, particularly in terms of increased upsell performance, improved conversion opportunities and significant operational efficiency gains through time savings and process automation across the organization.
The beauty of Canary is that it is so easy to explain. Our clients have a chance to see its advantages and project the ROI right away. Our advice for the customers is to get at least a free trial, and for now no clients have quit using Canary after the trial period.
Start with one or two modules such as Contactless Check-In or Upselling to quickly realize ROI, then expand into the broader suite. Canary’s modular approach makes scaling easy, and the guest experience improvements are immediate and measurable. It’s an ideal solution for hotel groups seeking both operational efficiency and elevated guest satisfaction.
If you're considering Canary, approach it as a full guest-experience upgrade rather than a single-feature add-on. The real value appears when you connect multiple modules with Mews and let automation take over routine tasks. Trust the system to work for you. Your team will gain time back, and your guests will immediately notice the smoother, more polished experience.
