The office in your pocket: SiteMinder and 3RPMS transform everyday operations at Hotel Hirsch 1783

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

Many hotels confidently claim that they uphold tradition. However, this statement applies to the Hotel Hirsch 1783 on Lake Constance like no other. Because, as the name suggests, the hotel has been welcoming guests for over 340 years – in family hands. When Peter Schöllhorn took over the charming inn from his parents in 2004, he and his family lovingly renovated it. Today, 25 stylishly furnished rooms await guests, delivering a mix of traditional country house and modern comfort.

Why it matters: When Peter was looking for a new channel manager, his nerves were frayed. His previous provider was not flexible and there were constant disruptions.

The need for a flexible and intuitive platform.

Top 3 Core Objectives: To have an intuitive channel manager that saves time and prevents overbookings.

Setting rates and restrictions: Especially during arrival and departure that helps communicate with guests across all portals.
Huge selection of channels: To have the price to performance ratio that is just right. After all, they are a seasonal business.
Eliminate overbookings: Do not have to keep an eye on countless portals but can always rely on all rooms being handled on a single platform.
