The AMR Collection is a chain of resorts and hotels owned by Apple Leisure Group (ALG). The company implemented STAY more than a year ago, through its different brands: Secrets, Dreams, Breathless, Zoetry, Alua or Sunscape. Hotels in Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East. One of the leading names in global hospitality. Always on the front lines of guest satisfaction.
Why it matters: Yudy Mora, AMR's Product Manager, explains how STAY has become a vital part of her daily operations. “In the context of the pandemic, I was given the responsibility of leading the mobile strategy for the different business units. It was an uncertain time. Our goal was to create a contactless guest experience".
  • AMR's product manager explains that “we used a similar platform. However, neither the guests nor the operational area found it useful. My approach is very ‘customer-centered’. I was soon able to see what it was going to offer us. From the standpoint of failures with the previous application."

Top 3 Core Objectives: The goal was to increase users when compared to the previous app. They were looking for a user-friendly platform that guests could use without downloading an app.
  • Increase guests' engagement: AMR used a different app before. Since the results were no good enough, they wanted to improve engagement through STAY,

  • Implement live surveys: It was important for AMR to keep track of guests' feelings during their stay

  • Increase revenue: ARM wanted to increase revenue through the implementation of a user friendly app

"Implementing STAY contributed to a significant increase in our revenue and customer satisfaction. The app pays for itself. We have seen significant increases in consumption for all of our services."
