It’s hard to imagine the growth of the hospitality industry without constant improvements in customers’ experience. What is one of the best ways to uplevel the customer’s loyalty? To use modern technologies, of course! Hotel management software that was able only to manage room assignments and invoicing is far in the past. Now is the era of digital solutions that can simplify and automate almost every process connected to hospitality workflow. Contactless check-in? Guest-recognition face systems? Real-time tracking? Now it’s more than real!
