How Agnelo Fernandes is Making Cote Hospitality Epic

GUEST EXPERIENCE

Cote Hospitality CEO Agnelo Fernandes set out to transform both the guest and associate experience across the company's resort and camp portfolio. By embedding ProfitSword, Hotel Effectiveness, and Alice into daily operations, the team shifted from reactive management to forward-looking, data-driven decision-making.

Why it matters: For smaller, growing operators, technology only delivers value when it changes how teams actually work. Cote Hospitality shows what happens when leadership commits to using data every day, across every department, not just in Finance.

ProfitSword, Hotel Effectiveness, and Alice gave Cote Hospitality's teams shared visibility into forecasting, labor scheduling, and service coordination, connecting the data needed to control costs, protect service quality, and plan for growth.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Cote Hospitality needed to move from backward-looking reporting to forward-focused operational management, aligning finance, labor, and service delivery around shared, real-time data across its resort and camp portfolio.

From reporting to forecasting: Replace a reliance on historical reporting with forward-looking visibility into financial performance, giving leadership clarity on what is happening now and what to expect in the weeks and months ahead.
Optimize labor scheduling: Use real-time demand data to build confident, accurate staffing plans that avoided both overstaffing and understaffing, protecting service quality without inflating labor costs.
Connect cross-department operations: Reduce communication gaps and dropped handovers across housekeeping, service delivery, and operations so staff could focus on guest interactions rather than managing information manually.
