Expert Q&A and Partner Recommendations

Submit Recommendation
Question:

What does this product or service do well?

Answer:

Allows hoteliers of all sizes and segments to increase efficiency by allowing contactless check-in as well as instant communication with guests and staff via text. They are a great partner as well as we've integrated our PMS so that our customers can seamlessly use their system.

Question:

What differentiates this product or service from the competition?

Answer:

I would say the support they provide is 2nd to none. Anytime I need anything from their team, I can reach out via chat or simply email them, and I get a response very quickly. Another differentiator to other "texting apps" are features like the mini-apps which allows properties to build branded registration cards, agreements, guidebooks, etc.

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:

Do your research. They may not be the "cheapest" system but be sure to look at all of the options you get when signing up with their service. Also to take advantage of their excellent support team by going through full training and reaching out with any questions.
