The Impact of Collaboration with Visual Matrix

In today’s competitive hospitality landscape, technology isn’t just a back-end tool—it’s a vital partner in creating memorable guest experiences and efficient operations. For independent hotel owners, the relationship with their property management software can make or break the guest journey. That’s why platforms that prioritize collaboration and open dialogue are transforming the way hotels do business. When hoteliers are invited into the product development conversation, solutions become more tailored, responsive, and ultimately, more impactful. The shift from transactional support to genuine partnership reflects a larger trend in tech—one where listening is as important as innovation.

To explore how this kind of collaboration plays out on the ground, we turn to JC and Sheeba Stone, Owner/General Managers of Best Western Dinosaur Valley Inn & Suites, who share their perspective on the evolving relationship with Visual Matrix.
