Hoteliers say
Hoteliers like Hotel Effectiveness for its robust scheduling and labor management features, helping hotels optimize staffing and reduce labor costs in line with fluctuating occupancy. The product enables efficient schedule updating and forecasting based on real-time data, minimizing overtime and providing insights into labor expenses. However, recurring challenges with system syncing and difficulty removing past employee data are noted, indicating room for technical improvements to streamline operations further.

While its important to incorporate analysis from verified user reviews and industry experts to create more balanced content, the way a vendor describes their overall company and vision can also shed light on their unique perspective or way of doing business which is why the AI ingests this information as well to add more context to paint a picture of what the company says vs what users and industry experts say.

Actabl Case Studies
References
"Offering guests the ability to text and use the app to place requests makes a lot of sense. We’re on our phones all the time anyway. It’s a lot easier than calling the front desk and potentially being placed on hold, and you can also place requests off-site."
"Our guests love texting us. A lot of modern day travelers expect more tech-savvy ways to communicate versus the standard picking up the phone or speaking face-to-face. Everybody has very busy lives but with ALICE Guest Messaging, it’s been quicker and more seamless to communicate with guests in terms of sending real-time information and even responding to requests."
"It's a way of adapting to the rapid changes in technology without compromising our standards for excellent, yet personable, customer service. We've used it for recommendations, confirming dinner reservations, coordinating plans, etc. It speeds up the communication time quite a bit, as guests are unlikely to answer a call from an unknown number, but will text us back almost immediately."
"The ability to load our checklists into the system and attach pictures of work done has allowed us to have transparency and accountability in our preventative maintenance program and enabled our chief engineer to track the quality of maintenance work even when he is busy assisting with other major projects that we have at the hotel.<br /><br />"
"Maintaining the hotel is everyone’s responsibility. ALICE has improved the communication of how my front desk and housekeeping staff are informing my engineers of any problems and issues that need to be attended to. It’s an amazing tool.<br /><br />"
