WHAT IS RTLS FOR hopsitality
For hotels, regardless of type or size, safety and satisfaction of customers is the primary objective and with certainty, there is no other industry more dependent on that.
As much as price and amenities are often top-of-mind factors when customers choose a hotel, safety is ultimately still the prevailing consideration.
Hotels and resorts often face major challenges in creating safety and security for their staff members, guests, and equipment. In a setting where hundreds – often thousands – of people are gathered in one place, word travels quickly if a situation has escalated to the point of danger or the environment is not conducive to feeling safe. At the heart of keeping customers comfortable is ensuring staff members are in an atmosphere where creating a call for help can occur quietly. Another issue is that within large facilities with elevators and outdoor lounging areas, employees are having difficulty to live up to promises of cleanliness and swift, friendly service.
In these large-scale settings, ensuring a quick and accurate response when needed is not easy and it tends to become more difficult in a case of emergency, especially when employees or guests are frequently alone. It becomes clear that a mobile alert system is essential for the hospitality industry so that is why using RTLS to deliver this real-time notification via any communication device is at the heart of the 1SENSE solution.
Looking to provide a quality stay that exceeds expectations, our RTLS offers solutions within the hospitality industry that create a differentiating factor between competitive facilities. For example: Parents or guardians have peace of mind knowing where their children are, whether it be in the pool area or participating in additional activities on the resort grounds. With the press of a button, each child can notify staff and guardians of their exact location if they need assistance or facing an emergency.
In addition, assets can be tracked, and staff will be able to locate them instantly for immediate use, knowing where they are and when they are in use. This way RTLS guarantees saving your time and money.
