Leading Argentina-based hotel group enhances guest experience by implementing Shiji ReviewPro, achieving increased efficiency, higher satisfaction ratings, and improved direct bookings.
HOLLYWOOD, Florida, USA, December 9, 2024 – Shiji, the hospitality technology innovator, is excited to announce that HTL Hotels has successfully implemented Shiji ReviewPro to streamline guest communications and elevate the overall guest experience. This integration has allowed HTL to move from manual, time-consuming processes to automated, personalized messaging, improving guest satisfaction and operational efficiency. The transformation has already led to higher ratings across major online travel platforms and an increase in direct bookings, further strengthening HTL’s competitive edge.
Shiji ReviewPro was integrated into HTL's existing Property Management System, offering customized, automated communications for nearly 20 different guest interactions, from pre-arrival instructions to post-stay feedback. These enhancements are tailored to each of HTL's four hotels, addressing individual property needs. This implementation has proven essential in increasing HTL’s responsiveness to guest inquiries and concerns, enabling staff to resolve issues more proactively.
“Since implementing Shiji ReviewPro, we have observed a significant transformation in managing communication with our guests. The ability to customize and automate messages has allowed our team to respond more swiftly and effectively to guests' needs. For example, in a recent case, we resolved a service issue before the guest arrived at the reception, resulting in highly positive feedback and increased our overall satisfaction rating.” said Osvaldo Czerwiak, Technology Consultant for HTL Hotels.
HTL Hotels has seen significant improvements in operational efficiency and guest engagement since implementing Shiji ReviewPro. In-stay and post-stay feedback conversion rates have increased notably, especially through WhatsApp, which has become a key channel for guest interactions. This proactive approach has also led to better issue resolution, with 99.4% of guest concerns being addressed, and 92.5% of responses delivered promptly.
“Shiji ReviewPro’s ability to personalize and automate guest communications is designed to meet the evolving needs of modern hotels like HTL,” said Ryan King, Senior Vice President of Shiji Americas. “By integrating seamlessly with HTL’s existing systems, we’re helping them provide a more responsive, data-driven approach to guest engagement that not only enhances the guest experience but also drives operational efficiency. This partnership with HTL Hotels demonstrates our shared commitment to leveraging technology to continuously elevate guest services and streamline operations.”
Furthermore, HTL has implemented data-driven decision-making using the platform’s reporting capabilities to align their budget planning and bonus policies with guest feedback. This data-driven approach has resulted in improvements across their Net Promoter Score (NPS) and Global Review Index (GRI), indicating increased guest loyalty and satisfaction. In many ways, Shiji ReviewPro continues to be a vital tool for HTL Hotels in delivering exceptional guest experiences and driving operational excellence, positioning the brand for long-term growth and success.
