The Challenge

Changing Expectations

Today's guests expect clear, consistent, real-time communication. That’s especially true in times of uncertainty, such as a pandemic or natural disaster. Noble House used ALICE Guest Messaging to build a dynamic automated communications workflow that adapted to each touchpoint, reduced staff workload, and delivered on guest expectations.

Things are ever-changing - the traditional confirmation letter is not working anymore. The guest needs to be communicated with dynamically. We need the pre-arrival text; we need the automated arrival message; we need to communicate at check-in. We need to set the expectation ahead of time.

The Solution

ALICE Simplifies Guest Messaging and Experience

The pandemic accelerated the need for a solution that guests already wanted: the ability to skip the front desk and checkout from their phones. In response, Noble House utilized ALICE’s customizable Guest Messaging capabilities to promote a more convenient, touch-free checkout experience.

New communications needs from guests also accelerated a need for Noble House staff. To further improve guest experience, and decrease the burden on staff, Noble utilizes ALICE’s Automated Messaging segmentation capabilities and templates when occupancy surpasses 80%.

It’s been a game-changer to be able to change automated messages on the fly. We’ll send an automated message, Tomorrow's a very busy checkout day. If you want to skip the desk and participate in contactless checkout, send us your email when you're ready. Nobody wants to go to a crowded front desk.
