In addition to the HospitalityPulse's popular roomPulse and PulseLink room assignment solutions, hospitalityPulse will unveil new tools that will transform traditional transactions into guest interactions by enabling front-desk agents to focus more closely on their guests. With the new enhancements being implemented by HospitalityPulse, front-desk agents are able to focus more of their attention on their guests and less on trying to find them a room. These new tools not only give you the optimal room for the guest in front of you, but also takes a look at the bigger picture ensuring that guests coming in days from now will not be jeopardized by the upgrade being given to your current guest. The PulseQueue is an excellent tool which assists in monitoring rooms becoming available for the guest that have completed their mobile check-in process. The PulseLink popup window has also been added directly to hotel's PMS systems for easier access during check-ins. The new tools that have been presented are not only going to make the mobile check-in process seamless, but also continue the growth of guest satisfaction.
