Background

Prior to using iVvy, TFE Hotels were finding it difficult to rely on one source of truth for operational performance, both at a local and national level. Obtaining an accurate overview presented numerous problems – from inconsistencies to using venue management software that made operations difficult for both clients and staff alike.

Using alternative venue management software, TFE Hotel’s quote creations were time-consuming, as was the conversion process, impacting response times and resulting in a less-than-efficient overall booking process. Combined with inaccurate reporting, the business was struggling to measure success and adjust operations accordingly.

TFE Hotels was seeking a venue management software solution that could enable them to revolutionise venue management processes from end to end, assist all team members in an efficient and effective manner, and contribute to a seamless customer experience.

Results

TFE Hotels have integrated iVvy across 50+ hotels worldwide with a team of approximately 230 users.

Since 2012, iVvy’s partnership with TFE Hotels has delivered:

• Streamlined proposal and contract templates across multiple hotels and brands.
• Greater marketing promotion of special offers and packages
• Boosted personalised communication with re-targeting abilities
• Efficient database management, with a full view of all customer interactions
• A better understanding of business performance with detailed reporting, including enquiry lead time, length of conversion, booking patterns, marketing campaigns, and forecasting
