Client was already using a hotel management website, but they were not getting the results they had expected. Another challenge was the cost, the existing solution was becoming too expensive to use. Additionally, with their business expanding and requirements changing rapidly, they needed a more advanced hotel management website. A centralized platform was missing to manage all the information related to hotel, channels and guests. No automation was present to manage and maintain updates in different functionalities like price, rating, availability, etc. Loss of bookings, overbooking and issues of sold out dates resulting into overall revenue loss. No real-time reports and instant monitoring causing delayed decision making.
Transferring data from the old system to the new one without loss is a critical challenge. Attention to detail is important to keep data accuracy.
Implementing real-time updates and monitoring features needs robust technology and may experience challenges in terms of system responsiveness.
