Why it matters: Donata von Finckenstein, the Director of E-Commerce at AMANO Group, grappled together with the AMANO team with the demanding task of efficiently managing guest feedback across their hotel brand. With a growing volume of online reviews, the challenge of crafting high-quality responses in a timely manner became increasingly overwhelming. The process was perceived as time-consuming and the team's response rates were low, which negatively impacted their interactions with guests.
  • Implementing MARA's AI-powered reputation management solution, AMANO Group not only simplified their review management process but also achieved a significant rise in response rates, surpassing 90%. This transformation enabled the team to concentrate on providing exceptional guest services, whilst ensuring that all feedback was addressed quickly and with a high level of quality.

Top 3 Core Objectives: AMANO Group operates numerous hotel locations and was constantly dealing with an inflow of online guest feedback. Prior to MARA, the team found it challenging to respond to reviews without compromising the quality of their replies due to time constraints.
