Tiu Oasis Lombok’s direct bookings soar 35% thanks to Little Hotelier

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

Tiu Oasis is located in Kuta, Lombok. This idyllic property is located less than 13 km from Lombok International Airport and only a 19-minute walk from Kuta Beach. Tiu Oasis prioritises design and architectural elements to ensure guest comfort. The resort upholds a semi-private concept and has five room units which are divided into two types, luxury bungalows and private villas. When it first opened its doors, Tiu Oasis relied heavily on manual methods to get things done behind the scenes.

Why it matters: Zarkasi Muhamad, Manager of Tiu Oasis Lombok, said that his property was hampered by a number of operational problems as a result of manual processes. The issues that arose due to manual work also expanded to connectivity with online travel agents (OTA).

“We had to monitor the OTAs one by one, which was difficult,” Zarkasi continued. “Everything had to be done manually.” Tiu Oasis was able to finally abandon manual work after investing in Little Hotelier’s property management software.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Tiu Oasis is looking for a solution to help them switch from manual work to automation in managing and distributing their property.

Avoiding manual input: Prior to using any solutions, Tiu Oasis needs to manually update everything from the channel distribution to reporting. They’re looking for a platform to make their work easier.
