Akia has been a great communication tool for our staff when communicating with individual teams or company wide communications. I don't communicate directly with the guests, but my understanding is that the guest services team find the system helpful and easy to use.

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.
Integrated with PMS Systems AKIA can automatically send out dedicated messages during all stages of the customer journey. Furthermore, it can send out specific information for a target group during the stay and helps guests and hoteliers communicate via WhatsApp.
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.

Another differentiator to other "texting apps" are features like the mini-apps which allows properties to build branded registration cards, agreements, guidebooks, etc.
The default language is always the one of the phone number which is great. That way guests can communicate with the hotelier no matter where they are from and what language they are speaking. Plus, the Mini Apps are a fantastic way to truly customize the guest experience according to what a property really needs.
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.
