About

Specialized web and mobile applications for the Hotel industry


Solution & Product

We are creating an easy-to-use versatile adaptable data entry form that the hotelier can send a link via email to the guest, so the guest will at his convenience fill in all the required by law information that he would normally give at the desk. Before he is at the hotel. Upload his identification document. Excellent for large groups. No more ques of people waiting to check-in. Less exposure for the hotel staff. Much easier for people with disabilities especially at a time after a long travelling time. Energy and paper conservation, especially in large Hotels. The system asks for all the required by law information, that will be needed in case of a Health hazard event (Covid-19 verified case). And solves the bureaucratic problem of gathering all the required paper works for Greek tourism government-funded vouchers. Just in Greece, we are targeting more than 75000 accommodation businesses as they all need a solution like this. As the system is translated in 23 languages Client and Hotelier side, we expect to also sell it in all Europe, USA Canada Australia, Russia, China, Japan, India, and beyond. Any Hotel or small BnB is a potential customer for us and we expect to expand the translations easily to more markets. We expect to use local hotel unions to inform the hotels of the software and give away two free months for testing. As the system was developed by a Hotelier for Hoteliers we know it to cover real industry needs. We are also going to us


Innovation & Scalability

There are several new ideas in the system. The hotelier is entering the number of persons of the booking so the form adapts and does not let the customer get away with giving the required information for all. We ask the customer to sign at the review of his data entry. We give the hotel the option to include unlocking the app URL and instructions for its use. We give the option to have customized per hotel notification emails and automatic reminder emails at adaptable by the hotel intervals. The system produces a Qr-Code for completely contactless check-in at the reception with a very small investment required in hardware (a Qr-Core reader) by the hotel. It is mobile-first designed. It is multilingual for both the hotel system and the guest system. The data entry form adapts while the customer fills his information requesting additional fields when needed. It is disability-friendly. The system has an advanced API for connection with PMS and or channel manager systems and can be completely automatic. We give the option for the link to be sent to the customer via popular chat apps like Viber, WhatsApp, and FB messenger. Soon we will have incorporated in the system automatic ID/passport security verification and/or online ID verification via biometric data comparison as a premium service for the hotels that accept the additional costs. Unlimited growth potential as we will be expanding in more and more countries after major sales in Greece and Europian union.
