Bunchrew House Saw 35% Increase In Direct Bookings

OPERATIONS

Bunchrew House is a 16 bedroom country side hotel located in Inverness, UK. The main goal for the hotel was to find a software system that would allow them to easily manage and increase direct bookings.

Why it matters: The Bunchrew House was looking for a software system to help increase reservations and manage their efficiency. They have seen a 35% increase in bookings from their switch to innRoad.

innRoad's software allows hoteliers throughout the world to easily manage their reservations, operations, and connect to numerous OTAs. This allows properties to open their hotel up to more reservations through online visibility.

Top 3 Core Objectives: The main goal for the hotel was to find a software system that would allow them to easily manage and increase direct bookings. They wanted to be able to clearly see revenue changes and rates so they could efficiently manage their data to plan for growth.

Increase direct bookings: Before innRoad, they were only receiving 10% direct bookings. They wanted to be able to increase this number to generate more revenue.
Easily manage revenue/rates: They specifically wanted to be able to easily update rates, utilize surge alerts, and streamline rates across channels.
Connect to more OTAs: They wanted a software system that would connect with the top online travel agents like Booking.com, Expedia, and VRBO so they could increase their visibility.

"I was looking for a PMS system that would make it easier for us to focus on direct bookings and an easier overall platform. innRoad helped with rate changes and online bookings. 90% of online bookings came from OTAs before innRoad. Now 55% of online bookings come from OTAs and 45% are direct bookings to our website."
