The Challenge:
Prior to using Experience Cloud, guest data was fragmented, leading to missed revenue opportunities.
The lack of consolidated data and insights made it hard to identify upsell opportunities at the right time.
Additionally, without an integrated guest experience solution, reaching guests at the right time with
relevant upsells was next to impossible.
The resort also had a hard time keeping track of their reputation, and had no way to benchmark
themselves against competitors, or identify key areas of improvement. The lack of unified data made it
hard to provide end to end experiences in the entire guest journey and get a clear picture of guests’
perceptions of the hotel.
