A Hotel approached NIMATA UK because they wanted
a high-tech solution to enhance their customer
service and improve their ability to deliver guest
information. In particular, the hotel wanted to
better address the information needs of two groups:
walk-in visitors to the hotel's restaurants and
conference facilities, along with hotel guests
looking for dining and entertainment options.
After assessing the hotel's needs and architecture,
NIMATA UK designed an intranet-based kiosk network,
consisting of 3 touchscreen kiosks located at various hotel
entry points and other high-traffic locations.
NIMATA UK’s kiosk designers created a guest information
application that allows users to learn more about
the hotel's restaurants, bars, jazz club, spa,
and meeting facilities, including schedules, maps,
menus and more. The kiosk content was designed
to be intuitive, eye-catching and consistent with
the Hotel's branding.
Once the content was completed, NIMATA UK installed
a web server to drive the content to kiosks, and then installed
the individual touchscreen kiosks throughout the hotel. Soon
enough, guests were able to quickly find the information
they needed thanks to the hotel's new staff of
"silent concierges." Likewise, the hotel’s
management was able to monitor the interests of
its visitors and received productive feedback.
NIMATA UK enjoyed this project, because it required
a provision of a complete kiosk solution, including
kiosk hardware, kiosk application development, kiosk interface
design, and installation. More importantly, the
kiosks proved to be popular with guests, along
with the hotel's management. Here's what the Hotel's
manager had to say:
"I want you to know that all of us at the
hotel have been very pleased with the outstanding
quality of our new kiosk system from NIMATA UK.
Few people outside the hotel business understand
the challenge of communicating constantly changing
information to hundreds of guests and visitors
to the hotel every day. The NIMATA UK system has
made it easier for us to get that information
to our guests, and our guests to have an intelligent,
expedient and interactive experience finding out
what they want to know. In a 24 hour, 365-days-a-year
business such as ours, responsive and responsible
customer service is essential. Once again, NIMATA UK
has exceeded our expectations."
