Enhanced personalization and increased guest satisfaction scores: Duve enabled Sofitel to tailor communications, segmenting messages based on guest profiles such as those celebrating special occasions, travel group types, or first time vs. returning guests. This level of personalization ensured that every interaction was relevant and personalized. Sofitel St James have noted an increase of over +1% in their guest reputation/satisfaction scores year over year, acknowledging the fact that Duve has contributed to this achievement.

Streamlined staff workflows and enhanced efficiencies: The integration of Duve significantly reduced the administrative burden on the Sofitel team by automating previously manual tasks. Where the team once managed communications across multiple platforms, Duve consolidated these processes into a single, efficient system. By enabling the hotel to receive additional guest information relating to their stay, as well as estimated arrival times in advance, Duve allowed the team to better prepare for each guest’s arrival, optimizing operational readiness. This proactive approach not only improved the arrival experience for the guest, but also efficiencies by streamlining team workflows, allowing them to allocate resources more effectively. With less time spent on administrative work, the staff could focus more on face-to-face interactions, ultimately elevating the overall guest experience.

Elevated guest experience and ROI from pre-arrival upsells: While the primary goal was to enhance guest communications and their overall experience, Sofitel recognized the broader potential of Duve’s solution throughout their operation. By leveraging Duve’s automated, targeted pre-arrival messaging, the team not only elevated guest experiences but also increased incremental revenue through upsells like room upgrades and food and beverage add-ons. These offers were specifically aligned with guests' occasions and preferences, ensuring that each interaction felt personal and maintained the luxury brand's standard, rather than a generic approach of mismatching an offer to the incorrect guest.
