This smart segmentation enabled highly personalized and timely interactions—enhancing guest engagement and satisfaction.

• Operational Efficiency & Real-Time Guest Recovery: With all guest-facing interactions centralized in Duve, Sofitel improved internal collaboration and operational efficiency. The hotel’s 24/7 guest communication team now manages all channels—email, SMS, WhatsApp, and more—through a single hub, ensuring fast and consistent responses. Mid-stay surveys, triggered via SMS before checkout, help identify and resolve guest issues in real-time, boosting service recovery and overall guest satisfaction.
