How can hotel operators effectively streamline their operations by integrating multiple technologies into a cohesive solution?

For an Experts Talk roundtable conversation examining the hospitality industry in preparation for AAHOACON 2024, Jennifer Suski, Director of Business Development at HotelKey, shared a few thoughts on what has been communicated to her by hotel operators, and where hotels have issues streamlining multiple technologies.

Some of Suski’s key insights focused particularly on:

  • The current scenario sees hotels employing various technologies such as Revenue Management Systems (RMS) and Property Management Systems (PMS), often independently, resulting in operational inefficiencies.
  • The primary challenge lies in consolidating these disparate technologies into a unified system that is easier to manage, thereby enhancing operational efficiency.
  • The pursuit of streamlining operations, cost-saving measures remain paramount, necessitating a solution that offers both efficiency and affordability.
  • Successfully implementing streamlined technology solutions requires garnering support from the staff, emphasizing the importance of effective change management strategies.

Additionally, hotel operators navigating the complexities of modern hospitality management, need a comprehensive approach to technology integration, according to Suski.
