The project with LoungeUp

✔︎ Optimise internal operations

The time and efficiency saved on the reception side is very important, the tool is extremely practical, and the daily work of our employees is really improved.
- Romain Binet, Director, Biografy Group

The operations management solution saves valuable time for operational teams. By eliminating repetitive, low-value tasks, teams are more operational and available for the customer. Instruction books, checklists and tickets for managing guests requests enable you to :

1. Never forget a task (service order, technical problem, found object, maintenance, room change, refusal of service, etc.).
2. Centralise information on everything that's going on in each facility
3. Keep a record of operations
4. Effectively communicate tasks in progress to team leaders
5. Standardise guest service levels with centralised procedures and checklist and ticket templates

✔︎ Offering an exceptional level of service

The operations management tool is directly linked to the guest relationship management solution. All service orders (catering, spa, events, etc.) are automatically recorded in the according tracking book. 

The Guest Profile CRM enables them to centralise guest information in a single database, and to list the group's regular guests who have visited several establishments. The guest data collected can be used to personalise communication mailings at each stage of the guest journey.  

Simple, flexible and easy to use, Dmbook has enabled real progress in the sharing of instructions and communication between teams. - Bruno Alleau, Manager, Hôtel Madison
