​PROBLEM

​Heavy operational load on independent hospitality property owners to be able to keep up in the highly competitive market:


High customer acquisition cost: dependent on major OTA’s (booking.com, airbnb) with 20% average cost to bring guests and very seasonal in terms of occupancy, low seasons occupancy are as low as 10-20%.

​

Maintaining high occupancy to reach breakeven: high fixed costs which are not covered unless very high occupancies are maintained all throughout the year

​

  • Limited resources:  not cost effective to deploy dedicated sales /marketing teams

  • Operational tensions:

    • Implementing revenue/ cost control strategies â€‹

    • Handling day to day hotel operations- cleaning,  check in/out , maintenance , customer service 

    • Managing bookings and sales 

  • Inefficient Human power: pilferage  is very common due to lack of system and process control â€‹

​​

The constant heavy load requires a lot of effort and resources which makes it challenging to ensure that guests are constantly receiving a quality experience.
