The session explored:
- How operators identified operational priorities before investing in new technology
- Why integration and clearly defined data flows mattered more than the number of systems within a technology stack
- How specialist platforms supported the complex requirements of serviced apartments, extended-stay accommodation and flexible living
- Where AI delivered measurable value, including guest-question routing, maintenance triage, revenue management, invoice checking and reporting
- How technology enabled remote and unmanned operations through access control, self-check-in, identity verification and guest communication
- Why clean, consolidated data was essential for accurate reporting and effective AI implementation
- How operators could establish a baseline, introduce technology to one process and measure the resulting return on investment
- Why human empathy, judgement and intervention remained essential for service recovery, vulnerable guests, sales negotiations and relationship-building
- How technology could remove repetitive work while giving teams more time to create meaningful guest experiences
