How the Best Western Gold Rush Inn Moved Off Paper Credit Card Authorization Forms & Became PCI Compliant

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

The Best Western Gold Rush Inn recently rolled out Canary Technologies' Digital Authorizations solution to mitigate security issues around guest data, become PCI compliant and automate manual tasks that were time consuming and tedious for both staff and guests.

Why it matters: Before Canary, the Best Western Gold Rush Inn relied on binders full of paper to store sensitive guest credit card information and needed a more secure solution.

Paper and PDF credit card authorizations are not PCI compliant and open up both hoteliers and their guests to a lot of liability.

Top 3 Core Objectives: By deploying Digital Authorizations, the Gold Rush Inn wished to improve data security & streamline operations.

PCI Compliance: The Best Western Gold Rush Inn was out of PCI compliance while it relied on paper and PDF forms. They hoped Canary would solve this issue.
Boost Staff Efficiency: The General Manager of the Gold Rush Inn and her team wanted to improve staff efficiency. Using paper and PDF forms it could take up to an hour to get a payment authorized.
Improve Guest Experience: Prior to Canary, many guests would be on the road when they received an authorization form, which was very hard to fill out in a mobile format. By deploying Canary, the Gold Rush wished to solve this.
