How long does it take to get AI automation running in a hotel?

. Written by Martin Veltman.

Short answer

The first system is usually live within a few weeks. That is an estimate, not a promise: the pace depends on your processes and on how quickly your team wants to sign things off. We always start with an assessment, because without figures for each process nobody knows where to begin.

Where the time goes

Building is rarely the longest part. Most of the time goes on the two things around it: finding out where your property is losing time, and giving your team the chance to get used to work it no longer does by hand.

That is why the assessment comes first. We look at how your property runs, which tasks come back every day and what they cost. You get an overview for each process, with figures rather than impressions, and only then is a euro spent on the build.

What sets the pace

Three things. How many processes you want to tackle at once, what data your systems hold and how quickly your team can check the work.

Your PMS is the starting point. Together we look at what data is available there to connect reservations and guest communication. If something is not in your systems, that is no reason to stop, but it is a reason to start somewhere else.

What happens in the first few weeks

Step one is the assessment: where you are losing time and what that costs each month. Step two is the build, in your own voice, on your PMS, your OTA channels, your point of sale, your accounting and your email. Step three is handover with a dashboard, so you can see each day what a system handles.

During step two your team approves the work before it goes out. That takes time at first, and it is meant to: trust comes from watching the work, not from a promise.

What we do not promise

A fixed timeline before we know your property. We would rather promise too little than too much, and the estimate above is exactly that.

What we do commit to: from day one you can see what a system does, and you decide when it may do more.

Tell us how your property runs, and within half an hour you will know whether this is right for you.

A first call takes half an hour and commits you to nothing.
