Problème → Solution

Deux douleurs quotidiennes du client — et les deux clics avec lesquels hotelspot les efface.

Key features

  • AI Concierge in 22+ languages with automated translations
  • Automated upselling — SPA, room service, hotel store, rental
  • Incident reporting with department assignment
  • Push notifications — real-time offers and events
  • Admin panel with guest behavior analytics

Market

  • Polish hotel sector growing ~8% year-over-year
  • 200k+ accommodation properties across Europe
  • Post-pandemic shift toward self-service and AI in hospitality
  • Pressure to optimize front-desk staffing costs

Business model

  • SaaS — monthly or annual subscription
  • Scales per room / per property
  • Add-on: DigitalPOD hardware (one-time) + SaaS
  • White-label for hotel chains

Competition & our edge

hotelspot is not another PMS — it is a sales engine that actively drives revenue from ancillary services.

  • Sales engine (Revenue), not admin system (PMS) — offer reaches the guest at the right moment
  • Physical DigitalPOD stands in the lobby = 100% system awareness, no app install required
  • Integrated Hardware + Software ecosystem — competitors usually deliver only one layer
  • Validated inside Accor — ready for DACH/USA expansion within 3 months
