HotelFriend USP’s

We continue to build better stuff to create a unique one product

Better
Good price:
Being an all-in-one solution provider, we can offer all products from one hand, with one setup fee, one staff training, one support hotline, zero integration, and third-party costs. Even if we offer the individual products at the price of the competition (without any bundle discount), the hotelier saves 30% - 50% on yearly costs by choosing one solution instead of maintaining several support contracts.
Complete:
Guest facing, marketing, distribution, collaboration, and back-office tools integrated: no separate contractor or fees, no compatibility issues, no waiting time for feedback from connected systems.
On all devices:
No special hardware required, no local servers needed to maintain and secure an it-infrastructure, the whole hotel management software runs on personal devices of staff (especially smartphones and tablets).
In guest's pocket:
Bring your own device: a directive that is not only cost-saving but also meets COVID’s important hygiene measures. The guests don’t have to touch any tablet or paper which other guests could have had in hand before.
With focus on revenue:
Room service, dinner reservations, meetings, treatments, advertising of services, room upgrades, sales, and payment processing in one mobile application covering the whole customer journey.
Really fast operations:
You’ll be able to reinvent your hotel for the speed of the post-corona world. Our times require quick decision-making, as well as implementing new approaches to serving guests. Improved productivity is only possible if you use technology and data and shift to innovate every step of the way.
Unique
Guest facing:
The concierge is much more than a guest directory, service ordering system, or chat tool - it is an interface to our backend, to empower guests to manage their stay (and letting them do the reception work), automate and secure processes as well as supply chains, deliver instant feedback and service at the right place and on time.
Intelligent:
The unique combination of marketplace, hotel management software, and mobile concierge enables real guest intelligence to a learning ecosystem. Apart from the B2C sales, the marketplace provides valuable market data to our hotel management software and enables machine learning intelligence for automation of our hoteliers’ revenue management system in particular.
Staff automation:
Tasks and appointments for the staff are created and assigned automatically with orders by guests or management. The tasks can be managed by the responsible employee that allows each team member to do changes on status in real-time from any device.
Service automation:
Rules for orders, availability, status management, and delivery of services - always with process automation in mind, while the rest of the competition is still dreaming of integrating a simple ordering system to their PMS solutions someday.
Multi-booking engine:
Empowers our hoteliers to group and build their own booking portals, where they can act as a brand or destination to focus on marketing, widen visibility, and share (or withhold) booking commissions.
Hotel booking marketplace:
HotelFriend is the only PMS provider that runs a B2C marketplace. The marketplace combines three of the currently successful market strategies: room sales (booking.com), long-term stays (Airbnb), and day trips (TripAdvisor) by offering more than 1.000.000 accommodations and 100.000.000 rooms. In addition, HotelFriend's marketplace enables international tour operators to enter the European market and offer travel packages directly to European customers (without the need for a travel agency).
