Challenges
- The Escarpment Group’s multiple properties were using disparate platforms, resulting in an excessive number of integration points, management challenges and a lack of consistency across locations.
- Working with various suppliers further complicated network management and maintenance.
- The small team of IT technicians were stretched thin and were left with little time to focus on value-add projects like WiFi upgrades, etc.
- The hotel group wanted to install a central reservation system that could handle bookings for all properties from a single front desk.
Results
Technical benefits
- The single management platform and PBX that spans across all hotel properties have simplified system management and maintenance.
- Onboarding new hotels is easy, it represents a small add-on as the IT team only needs to add gateways and handsets.
- Working with one supplier has increased consistency, simplified the network and freed the staff to work on more strategic projects.
Financial benefits
- A new SIP trunk has replaced the individual phone lines at each site, for greater efficiency.
- Thanks to the single PBX all telephone communication costs between hotels have been eliminated, generating costs savings for the hospitality group.
User experience benefits
- The central reservation system helps the Escarpment Group offer better customer service.
- Hotel staff can check room availability across all properties in real time, enabling them to offer alternative accommodation to guests if requested properties are fully booked.
