Winning back margin & managing a complex estate.

MARKETING

As an aparthotel group, Roomzzz is not a typical hotelier. Their room types can vary considerably from location to location, with some of their more unique locations having up to 13 room type configurations. As such, there was a real challenge behind the scenes in managing how to sell effectively via their own direct website. A lack of integrations meant there were often highly manual processes and workarounds operating behind the scenes, which translated into a disjointed online experience for their customers.

Why it matters: As city centre locations, the combination of high OTA commissions coupled with extra discounts to participate in marketing programmes, promising (but rarely delivering) to increase their profile in search results, meant huge erosion of margin for Roomzzz.

SHR Group is the leading provider of innovative and intelligent technology solutions for the hospitality industry. With a focus on driving revenue and enhancing guest experiences, we offer a comprehensive suite of tools and services designed to help hotels and resorts optimize their operations, understand their guests more and increase profitability.

Top 3 Core Objectives: To take back control of their future online business mix, Roomzzz partnered with allora.ai to reimagine their website booking experience and maximise their direct business opportunities – particularly long-stay business – displacing the expensive OTA business that was filling their peak times.

Displace OTA Business: Grow direct business revenues through the website and booking engine personalised experience.
Offer a Loyalty Programme: Roomzzz launched Perkzzz, their loyalty programme. allora.ai integrated with Roomzzz nominated CRM platform to create a highly customised booking journey that enabled them to effectively showcase Perkzzz member rates - both through the booking process itself and via key digital marketing channels, like metasearch.
Grow Direct Revenue: Through a better guest experience, grow the direct revenue in their aparthotels.
