Selvaraj Tue, 14 Jul 2009 11:44:43 +0000 http://www.hotelemarketer.com/?p=195#comment-478 Hospitality products and its evolving services are generally intended to provide additional comfort and convenience. Therefore, any new or improvised product, service and or technology that can enhance the quality of items on offer must be welcomed and encouraged. Introducing such items are always expensive in the beginning. It is hightime that large chain-hotel operators and independent hotel operators form unions for their commong agenda/goals through which they can approach product and service providers who have global reach for new/improvised items at reasonable prices that all consumers and intermediaries can benefit. Once technology is known or introduced, one can take the lead, but cannot sustain the supremacy since others will shortly follow with improvised version(s). It is cost and complexity that induce many hoteliers to shy away from adopting some useful technologies. Therefore consumer cartels are also important to challenge monopoly.

The possibilities seem endless in this domain. In 2007 I participated in Annual Innovation Challenge where we had to solve a similar problem for Hilton Hotels and our team recommended exactly the solution that you mentioned in the article. Using mobile based application for online checkin, reservations and mobile based entry to rooms. I am not surprised by the numbers from Marriott as I think these kind of services are particularly useful for VIP and high revenue generating customers of hotels. What are your thoughts on trends in guest service systems that hotels use (such as http://www.compcierge.com/)? Tarun Hi Matt,

Information is refreshed when the application is selected and then presented in a way that users can quickly navigate using only a few keystrokes. The users selections are stored on their phone and JMango only connects to the internet when the information is complete making for a much improved user experience.It works across all mobiles and balckberrys. Once downloaded to a mobile phone JMango also provides a powerful branded channel as unlike general mobile internet applications by sending an sms to the phone the application can be ‘woken up’ for outbound marketing such as events and special offers. Key features  Ease of use – text based interface and speed of navigation/execution  Users can be engaged by pushing marketing information to them to increase sales (evidence from similar applications show 10% increase)  Ease of development and deployment – can be bolted on to clients existing back end systems  Speed and cost for application development – applications can be developed by us or 'in house' and deployed in a matter of weeks  Low usage costs This is ideal for ticketing and booking solutions ( we have already used QR for ticketing for events in Australia) as well as the travel sector. We are developing a 'travel buddy' solution which effectively delivers booking information, itinerary, google map, local information (restaurants theatre) much as described in Matt's article, and also has applications for post visit eg for customer research, discount vouchers etc. MK Interesting Read
