Goal & Challenge
The Goal
Build a guest intelligence system to: Create unified guest profiles from all touchpoints. Predict guest preferences before they arrive. Drive loyalty program adoption by 200%. Increase repeat bookings by 30%. Enable personalized experiences at scale.
The Challenge
Personalizing luxury at scale with fragmented data: Data silos - guest data scattered across PMS, POS, Spa, F&B, and email. Manual tracking - staff tried to remember preferences but consistency varied. Cold starts - no history for first-time guests meant generic experiences. Privacy concerns - balancing personalization with data protection. Integration complexity - legacy systems didn't share data easily.
