Multiple space management within ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ

 

Challenge

Domaine de Ravenoville is nestled in the countryside near the Normandy coast, making it a perfect location for weddings. Previously, managing wedding parties had to be done separately, outside the PMS.

 

Solution

With ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ, Pierres d’Histoire can manage their event space in the same platform as their rooms and other spaces. As well as saving their team time, this also makes it much easier to manage reservations and finances in the same place and using unified guest profiles.

 

Result

• €88,000 of wedding reservations revenue processed between Feb-Mar in 2022

“It’s much easier to manage reservations and finances when it’s all done through the same system. ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ has simplified our processes and made life easier for our Reservations Team.â€

A secure, time-saving payment solution

 

Challenge

Taking and making payments can be a time-consuming part of guest interaction, and one that adds no real value to their experience.

 

Solution

ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ Payments champions payment automation that makes transactions fast and seamless. Once the guest provides their payment details (such as during online check-in), Pierres d’Histoire can action payments at any step in their journey with just a couple of clicks. The information is tokenized and handled with the highest security protocols, meaning that as well as time saved, it reduced the risk of fraud.

 

Result

• Payment automation for credit card transactions through ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ Payments
• Zero chargebacks

Integration spotlight

Pierres d’Histoire connect to a number of integrations directly through ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ Marketplace, hospitality’s biggest app store.

SiteMinder

SiteMinder is a channel manager that gives Pierres d’Histoire real-time connection to over 400 booking channels. The integration with ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ automatically updates price, restrictions and availability between ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ Operations and the booking channels, reducing overbookings while giving guests up-to-date information.

Mailchimp

Mailchimp is industry-leading marketing software that specializes in designing, sending and optimizing emails. The Mailchimp and ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ integration means that the team can automatically add contacts from ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ to their mailing list and increase their proportion of direct booking thanks to targeted email campaigns.

Looking ahead

Pierres d’Histoire will continue to explore how to bring in extra revenue and provide additional services by using multiple spaces. The team also plan to test more of the solutions on ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ Marketplace and expand their technology ecosystem to make the guest journey even more seamless.
