How Bergwelt Grindelwald resort doubled its reservations with Protel PMS

OPERATIONS

Bergwelt Grindelwald integrated Protel PMS with Canary to automate check‑ins, streamline communication, and unlock new revenue opportunities, transforming operations while elevating the guest experience across its 99‑room alpine resort.

Why it matters: Guest expectations have shifted, and hotels can no longer rely on manual processes without sacrificing efficiency or revenue. Bergwelt Grindelwald needed a way to streamline operations while delivering a smoother, more modern guest experience.

Protel and Canary allow guests to complete check‑in forms, receive information, and add upgrades from their phones, with all data syncing directly into the PMS. Staff manage messages, registrations, and upsells from one system, removing the need for paper forms or manual entry.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Bergwelt Grindelwald was looking to do more than digitize a few processes. They set out to:

Streamline Daily Operations: Bergwelt Grindelwald wanted more than to digitize check‑in. They aimed to eliminate manual tasks and simplify daily workflows across the entire front‑office operation.
Modernize the Guest Experience: The resort wasn’t just seeking convenience; they wanted to create a smoother, more intuitive guest journey from pre‑arrival to departure.
Increase Revenue Through: Bergwelt set out not only to improve communication but to turn every guest interaction into an opportunity for incremental revenue.
