FCS Hospitality Operations Management vs. Revinate

It is appropriate for running a hotel and using it to maintain pertinent information needed across the board for customers, requests, tracking trends and revenue.

Revinate is a great platform for smaller-sized hotels who do not need the advanced functionalities of a larger ESP like Salesforce Marketing Cloud. You do not need coding experience, but if you would like to custom-code your emails you can do so. The automation features leave room for improvement as does its reporting features

• Tracking pertinent cusomter information.
• Providing a one stop solution to handling multiple needs for the hotel.
• Storing and computing data needed to monitor revenue and trends etc.
• Providing multiple solution for services such as housekeeping, communication among depts, and concierge.

• The audience segmentation is excellent. I use this the most since I create targeted, segmented campaigns.
• Ease of use if you have experience with other email platforms.
• Analytics reporting.

• Room for improvement would be that at times the system runs a little slower than we would like it to. When you are busy you need things to be at its best especially when creating a seamless experience for your guests.
• Keeping up to date with the ever growing software and adding a few more perks or enhancements.
• Shortening the time it takes to fix glitches in the system.

Incentivized

• Streamline how we answer reviews further. I feel like we should not have to log into Revinate and log into third party sites to answer reviews. Revinate would have partnerships with these third parties to streamline the review answering process.
• I also don't like how Revinate will not give direct access to Wyndham franchise users. We have to log into a MyPortal account and then into Revinate using the MyPortal link. It would be more efficient to have direct access and capabilities.
• Make your report creation area user-friendly. You don't offer much training or help assistance in learning to create reports.

The program is amazing and there wouldn't be a reason not to continue. Go with what works, and this works.

The system is really easy to use and to implement into your business. Training for the software is fairly easy which is important for new hires and so forth. When you think about any company which provides services in numerous ways, you really want a program that can be seamless throughout the department's and this software does just that.

Revinate is perfect for our small-to-medium sized hotel clients who do not need a more advanced ESP. If you have a larger client that needs more advanced features, I would suggest using Salesforce. If you require more in-depth reporting and automation features for a small to mid sized client, Mailchimp is also a great choice. I do not recommend TravelClick for any clients.

• So far it has been an overall positive experience. It is easy to use, easy to train employees, and easy to implement into your business.
• It is very beneficial for tracking analytics and running much needed data to watch for trends.
• You can literally track everything down: hospitality needs, bedding costs, shipments, etc.

• Our ROI with Revinate has helped us take back some of our OTA revenue, and for the first time ever, our brand.com revenue outpaced our OTA revenue, due to our email campaigns. We are a small indie hotel and this is crucial for us.
