MARKHAM, ONTARIO, May 17, 2021 — Following the pandemic, hotel guest service is more virtual than ever. The new integration partnership between Maestro PMS and HelloShift brings shared clients a Guest Messaging solution that is simple for staff and guests. And because HelloShift’s unique messaging platform includes comprehensive hotel operations software, no guest requests slip through the cracks.
Warren Dehan, Maestro PMS President says “Maestro PMS is excited and delighted to partner with HelloShift to provide an excellent Guest Messaging and Staff Collaboration solution. We appreciate HelloShift’s shared values for superior technology and unparalleled support.”
Maestro PMS client Knob Hill Sun Valley is a top-rated property known for providing a high level of personalized service. Alexandria Barnhardt, the General Manager of Knob Hill says “We really get to know our guests. And now, with the pandemic, instead of just chatting with guests, we also use HelloShift to communicate through texting.”
“We have really meaningful conversations with guests and provide a high level of service in HelloShift” says Ms. Barnhardt. “We get to know our guests and make their stay special while maintaining distancing” she says. HelloShip Guest Messaging helps Knob Hill quickly adapt to changing conditions while consistently delivering individualized, top-rated guest experiences. For example, complementary breakfast is a top feature for Knob Hill guests. With pandemic-related dining room closures, guests were able to text their orders for in-room breakfast.
HelloShift Guest Messaging does the heavy lifting for texting with guests. HelloShift seamlessly integrates with Maestro PMS, pulling in guest data routinely. Automated messages are sent to guests at key touchpoints in the Guest Lifecycle – before check-in, when the guest is on-site, and after checkout. These messages are like throwing a guest a lifeline. When guests need assistance all they need to do is hit reply to the text thread on their phone. And because Knob Hill also uses HelloShift’s Staff Collaboration, it’s easy for the Front Desk staff to work together to deliver on guest requests across shifts. “We love how everything is all together in one easy app” Ms. Barnhardt says.
“It’s been so easy!” Ms. Barnhardt continued. “Getting started was simple. And with normal turnover we haven’t had any trouble getting new staff up to speed.” With HelloShift’s intuitive, familiar interface, new staff instantly start using the app. The GM is able to monitor all conversations and jump in when any issues arise. Everyone is on the same page.
HelloShift offers hoteliers who use Maestro PMS a hand-in-glove Guest Messaging and Staff Collaboration experience. HelloShift CEO Sudheer says “HelloShift is helping hotels transition to a digital hotel. This involves automating all processes. Open APIs offered by Maestro go a long way in achieving this vision.”
HelloShift is an integrated, all-in-one platform that allows hotels to digitize everything from housekeeping, hotel guest texting, and team messaging. Everything is in one simple interface that’s easier to use than Facebook.
