News for the Hospitality Executive |
BALTIMORE, MD – June 27, 2012 Intelity, the world leader in hotel guest self-service technology, presented its full ICE (Interactive Customer Experience™) enterprise platform at the annual hospitality technology industry trade show (called HITEC) here today. ICE is now operating in almost 500 hotels worldwide and in every major hotel brand. It has become a brand standard for many of them. "Intelity is proud to offer a product that materially advances the way hotels interact with guests," said David Adelson, Intelity's president and CEO, as he walked onlookers through the process of a guest request at this year's HITEC. "ICE is the giant step that hotels can take to serve today's digitally savvy traveler, providing speedier service and a better guest experience." The demonstration presented the streamlined movement of a hotel guest's request from placement, using a touchscreen tablet with the ICE interface, to the order's or request's completion. Adelson showed how a room service order entered by a guest on their in-room tablet, TV or personal device (smartphone, tablet or laptop) instantly goes into the hotel's system and appears to room service kitchen staff. No data reentry is necessary, and the order is monitored fully. Guests no longer wait on hold or in line. Hotels no longer need in-room compendiums. ICE is all about time and money savings. ICE offers 35 hotel services to hotel guests -- from room service and housekeeping to wake-up calls and hotel and travel information, from room controls and door opening to transportation information and boarding pass printing. Processing of requests and orders is immediate through ICE's integration with more than 25 management systems, including POS, PMS, Request (Ticket), Room Controls, Spa and TV systems. Intelity is proud to partner with Micros, MTech, INNCOM, OpenWays, PrinterOn, SpaSoft, Enseo, Evolve Guest Controls and 20 other technology partners.
