Transamerica Hotel Chain is a group of 26 hotels located across Brazil that has been thriving for the past 43 years. The group recognizes that in today’s competitive marketplace, online reputation is vital to business growth and has partnered with ReviewPro to monitor online reputation, and drive service excellence. Since taking on ReviewPro’s Guest Experience Improvement Suite™*, the group has completely redefined its corporate strategy related to online reputation and boosted its online reputation index.

*ReviewPro’s cloud-based Guest Experience Improvement Suite is an integrated platform of tools and processes that includes Online Reputation Management (ORM),Guest Satisfaction Surveys (GSS),Auto Case Management (ACM),and Guest Messaging Hub (GMH).

How Transamerica Hotels uses ORM

Transamerica Hotel Chain uses the Online Reputation Management tool to track its Global Review Index™ score and uses the insights from semantic analysis to identify opportunities for operational and service improvements.

The group of hotels is managed by the Transamerica Hospitality Group and are held accountable to their results by the board of directors. Part of the company’s mission statement is to offer quality services to meet the demands of the market and strengthen the generation of income for investors.

The brand uses the GRI™ as a benchmark of performance to inform the board of investors of progress in meeting company objectives. The score provides an objective, reliable and transparent way to track performance and financial wellbeing.

The company’s Global Review Index™ (GRI) has risen by an impressive 4% since implementing ReviewPro and related processes.

“Our KPIs are continually improving, especially GRI™, because the ReviewPro system groups information from multiple sources and helps us identify opportunities and turn them into effective action, increasing customer satisfaction and helping to achieve the results expected by our Board of Directors.“

-Allan Mochny, Quality Coordinator, Transamerica Hotels

The GRI™ is an industry-standard online reputation score derived from review data taken from all major online travel agencies and review sites. GRI™ can be measured for an individual hotel, group of hotels or hotel chain.

How Transamerica Hotels uses ORM+GSS

By combining feedback from the Guest Survey Solution (GSS) with insights provided by online reviews, Transamerica Hotels can hone in on detailed information about areas of strength and areas where improvement is needed.

As an example, upon analyzing results from post-stay surveys, the company discovered a number of issues with its food and beverage services, which were outsourced at the time. Recognizing that these issues were having a negative impact on the guest experience and, in turn, online reputation, management made the decision to cancel the outsourced breakfast contracts at selected hotels and bring the services in-house.

Examples of reviews from before and after bringing the breakfast service in house.

How Transamerica Hotels uses ORM+GSS+ACM

Transamerica Hotel Chain doesn’t stop at measuring and analyzing guest feedback, it also puts a high value on action. To keep staff engaged and ensure that problems with quality, service and operations do not go unresolved, the company added the Auto Case Management Solution (ACM)to its suite of ReviewPro products.

ACM allows hotels to act on guest feedback quickly and efficiently by automating internal processes and ensuring that guest issues don’t go unfixed. Hotels can set alerts and escalation parameters based on specific types of guest feedback and ratings in both online reviews and surveys (in-stay and post-stay). Workflows can be defined to match the hotel group’s structure and processes.

After employing ACM, staff engagement skyrocketed.

“After the implementation of ReviewPro in the Transamerica Hospitality Group, we have redefined our corporate strategy related to online reputation. Since then, we’ve been tracking customer satisfaction in all our hotels, and comparing ourselves to the competition, and we’ve been able to improve speed and response rate on OTA’s and other digital channels.”

-Allan Mochny, Quality Coordinator, Transamerica Hotels
