KONCEPT HOTELS automates over 95% of check-ins and 50% of check-outs

GUEST EXPERIENCE

Koncept Hotels fully automated their guest journey with Apaleo and Hotelbird. With 95% digital check-in and over 50% digital check-out, they’ve drastically reduced manual tasks and increased efficiency.

Why it matters: By automating every step of the guest journey, Koncept Hotels was able to free up staff, reduce errors and scale operations without adding headcount — addressing rising labor shortages and operational costs.

With Apaleo, Koncept Hotels built a fully tailored tech stack by connecting best-fit tools like Hotelbird for digital check-in and check-out. Thanks to an API-first approach, Koncept Hotels was able to connect the tools they needed to automate guest data flows, payments, invoicing and housekeeping. This flexibility allowed them to design a tech stack that fits their exact processes instead of adapting to a rigid system.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Koncept Hotels set out to create a fully digital, scalable hotel experience by automating operations, reducing manual tasks, and building a flexible tech stack tailored to their concept.

Automate Guest Journey: Replacing manual check-in, check-out, and payment processes with a fully digital flow to improve efficiency and guest satisfaction.
Build Modular Tech Stack: Using an API-first approach to connect preferred tools and create a customised system setup that supports your own operating model.
Reduce Operational Load: Minimizing back-office tasks such as invoicing and housekeeping coordination through seamless system integrations.
