We caught up with Rob Smith, CFO at Crescent, to discuss an overhaul of the company’s technology stack to centralize operations in the name of efficiency.
It’s a common thread throughout the hotel industry: Operators are looking to remove much of the back-office work from staff at the property level and take on more of that responsibility at the regional or headquarters level. In many cases, this requires a digital adoption strategy.
As line-level staffing remains a top challenge, centralizing this office work allows for property-level staff to rightly focus their attention on creating a superior guest experience. At the same time, it provides operators with a more comprehensive look at performance and the ability to introduce operating best practices that are aligned across their entire portfolio.
By adopting Otelier, Crescent aimed to solve the following challenges:
- Centralize office work
- Provides operator with a more comprehensive look at performance
- Create efficiencies and reduce labor costs
