Ottawa, Canada and Washington D.C., USA – June 4th, 2018 – Benbria®, the leading provider of omni-channel guest experience measurement and engagement solutions, announced today a strategic integration partnership with Knowcross®, the global leader in providing software solutions for hospitality operations.
This integration will allow a hotel’s guests to send messages and requests, which hotel staff can receive and respond to via the Loop platform, from a wide range of preferred guest channels including SMS, Facebook Messenger, Twitter Direct Messages, and more. Hoteliers will also have the flexibility to embed guest communications and guest requests into their own app, through existing in-room tablets, or via a mobile browser; and directly interact with the hotel through KNOW Service.
“Guests are demanding the convenience of messaging on their preferred channel while hotels are demanding back-end technology which drives efficiency and cost-savings”, commented Jordan Parsons, CEO at Benbria. “We pride ourselves on the growing number of guest-facing messaging channels that connect to our platform, which can be conveniently managed via our Loop Inbox by teams of any size. This integration with Knowcross means hoteliers can have the flexibility of using an omni-channel messaging solution while leveraging the efficiencies of world-class software which automates the handling of guest requests, complaints and maintenance jobs”.
Hoteliers using the combined Benbria and Knowcross platform will have access to a solution that simply outperforms others on the market today. By leveraging the omni-channel capabilities of the Loop platform, hoteliers can now make a one-time investment in a solution that is scalable to the ever-growing number of messaging channels that guests are demanding from the hotels to engage. With the ability to send requests directly into KNOW Service, they can drive efficiency and deliver faster service, which enhances the guest experience and has significant impact on the bottom line.
“KNOW Service is a very well-known solution and has consistently empowered hotels to reduce guest service time, increase staff productivity, minimize delays and wrong deliveries, identify trends, and analyze performances automatically” noted Nikhil Nath, CEO and Founder of Knowcross. “With the Benbria integration, we are pleased to provide hotels with an integrated guest-facing solution that is flexible and scalable, further enhancing the guest experience deliverance by hotels”.
