Transforming a Legacy Offline Paper-based Rewards Program to Paperless Mobile Rewards Program
When it comes to the hospitality business customer rewards play a major role in customer retention, implementing an eco-friendly program adds value to the property which is popular for its award-winning environmentally sensitive hotels.
Our clients were on the lookout for an end-to-end mobile-based rewards program for its environment-friendly eco-sensitive hotels and connected with our team to explore our system.
Pain Points Identified and Challenges Faced by any hospitality business when running an offline rewards program!
- Offline Rewards Program: Our client was in the practice of running an offline rewards program which was managed by a central team who used to collate data from various properties (hotels). The information was saved in spreadsheets and was shared with the program managers who then used to coordinate with different properties to manage the customer’s transaction information and issue vouchers. It was becoming difficult for the hotel staff to manage the data in real time as they did not have a centralized system to synchronize all data that they gathered.
- Use of Physical Forms: Have you ever put yourself in your customer’s shoes and thought of filling those forms? Isn’t it irritating? Well, this irritation will often result in partial or incorrect data and that leads to an incomplete profile. Nobody likes to fill any form patiently especially when they are on holiday or on any business tour. This was one of their major concerns because most of their data were inappropriate. Such data were of no use for records.
- Manual Calculation of Rewards Points: They are used to calculate overall rewards points manually using MS spreadsheets. Vouchers are been printed after crediting points from their records. Now can you imagine how about 40 hotels follow the same process? The hardest part comes while consolidating data into one spreadsheet.
- Printed Vouchers: After calculating the rewards points manually, they used to deliver printed vouchers to members through courier. Which usually ended with ignorance, misplaced and loss or maybe sometimes voucher gets expired before members even get any chance to redeem those points.
- Redemption: Members used to utilize these vouchers against their next bill settlements at any of their participating hotels PMS Systems having WINHMS PMS Software. Redemption was only to happen if the member had a hard copy of the printed voucher. There was no information present about members at their multiple business locations. This leads to confusion, duplication of vouchers, and even in some cases, their members did not receive any voucher at the time of their next arrival at the hotel.
- Voucher Inventory: Being an environmentally sensitive hotel you would never like to spend money on inventories such as designed voucher cards, printers, folders to maintain records, and other office stationeries.
- Difficulty in Report Generation: There were a lot of challenges being faced in generating a report on balance points and usage of vouchers. This mainly happens when you are not able to track members redeemed points, as printed vouchers were delivered to members most of them were not redeemed due to various issues such as vouchers being lost, or not being delivered due to inappropriate addresses. And most cases, it was hard to calculate redeemed rewards points from various locations in real-time.
