Front desk automation and unlocking upsell potential

Hazlewood Castle’s reception team was overwhelmed by repetitive inquiries, leaving little time for guest engagement and upselling. They needed a solution to reduce workload, improve efficiency, and identify ways to boost incremental revenue, which also seamlessly integrates with Clarity PMS.

Viqal’s Virtual Concierge automated 83% of guest inquiries, saving 21 hours of staff time each month and allowing the team to prioritize high-value tasks. Additionally, the AI identified clear opportunities for upselling during peak times, such as dining and spa bookings, which can be addressed with in-chat offers and proactive messaging. The implementation demonstrated immediate impact by improving operational efficiency and paving the way for enhanced guest satisfaction and revenue growth.
