Background

A leading hotel chain with properties across multiple countries faced increasing demands from travelers looking for exceptional, responsive service. As guest inquiries and booking requests surged, customer service teams struggled to maintain fast response times and a seamless experience across locations. The hotel sought to improve guest interactions, speed up booking and reservation modifications, and reduce the workload on its front desk and customer support teams, all while delivering consistent and personalized service.

Challenges

The hotel chain encountered several key challenges:

• High Volume of Guest Inquiries: Guests frequently called for assistance with booking, availability, amenities, and other questions, often leading to long wait times.

• Around-the-Clock Customer Expectations: Many travelers required support outside regular business hours, especially across different time zones.
• Consistency in Guest Service: Maintaining a high standard of service across all properties was challenging, particularly with varying levels of staff experience.
