A guest gets in touch

“We’re planning a stay with surf lessons.”

We’re looking at five nights in June for two adults. Do you offer surf lessons, and how do we get to the island?

How we would assess it

COMMON QUESTIONS

AI & Data Transformation questions, answered.

Have a different question? Ask us directly.

Do we need to replace our PMS?

Projects can start around the tools you already use. We assess what is feasible through existing features, exports and available integrations before recommending changes.

Can we start with one workflow?

Yes. A focused pilot gives us a manageable way to test usefulness before considering a wider rollout.

Will AI act without our team reviewing it?

We agree which steps can be automated, which require approval and when the workflow should stop or hand over to a person.

Who owns the accounts and information?

Ownership, access, third-party terms and handover responsibilities are documented in the scope. The hotel retains control of its business accounts and guest information.

Is ongoing support required?

We agree maintenance needs, running costs and support responsibilities before implementation. Follow-on support can be scoped around the solution.
