Partnership offers hotels a suite of tools to manage their properties and interact with guests

Los Angeles, CA (November 7, 2018) Intelity, the global travel industry’s leading enterprise mobile and in-room technology platform, and ALICE, the hospitality industry’s leading operations platform, announced today they have teamed up to offer hotels the most complete suite of tools available to manage their hotels and interact with guests.

Through Intelity’s enterprise platform, hotels can access important guest-facing tools such as a customizable mobile app, in-room tablets, mobile key, voice, TV casting, and more. Through ALICE’s operations platform, hotels gain a best-in-class back-of-house operations system that streamlines staff communication and centralizes task management across staff departments. This integration seamlessly connects the two platforms and offers hotels by far the most sophisticated way to coordinate operations with guest activity that is available on the market today.

Technology, and providing the ease and efficiency hotel guests demand, is critical. Studies show that guests want hotels to continue investing in technology and to offer tools that allow them more control over their hotel experience. Guests want to be able to use their smartphone and a mobile app to control various aspects of their booking and stay, and in the hotel room, they want the types of technology they are accustomed to at home. Sixty-five percent of hotel guests say they are willing to pay higher rates and are more likely to return to a hotel that offers access to the technology they consider important.

While Intelity and ALICE are great platforms separately, together they provide an amazingly full guest journey that addresses what guests want. They can check in with the mobile app on their smartphone, bypass the front desk, and use their device as a room key. During their stay, they can request services and place orders, which are processed through ALICE’s platform. Intelity, which is in the process of merging with the cloud-based guest experience and management platform KEYPR, lets guests connect easily with the hotel, its staff, amenities and the neighborhood.

ALICE tracks to-dos, ensures staff accountability, and provides advanced reporting so owners and managers know exactly what’s happening on their property at all times. Routing guest requests and communications directly to the applicable staff member saves time, reduces the chance of error, and redefines operational excellence.

“After 10 years in the industry, we’ve seen a lot of companies come and go,” says Intelity CEO David Adelson. “But ALICE stands apart. The team at ALICE has built a great platform that is highly successful and in demand. We are happy to have brought this integration live, and look forward to our future collaborations.”

“We are excited to deliver this joint solution to our customers," says ALICE President, Alex Shashou. "Intelity is a company that has been at the forefront of in-room guest technology for years. The industry is starting to see some really positive data around the impact of mobile and in-room tablets on the guest experience."

Both Intelity and ALICE are Forbes Travel Guide Brand Officials, and more than a third of all Forbes Travel Guide hotels use Intelity or ALICE – or both.
