Key Challenges

Limited Upselling Tools: When White Villas was first established, there were no tools set in place to effectively promote and maximize upsell opportunities for many add-on services that they wanted to offer to their guests.
Guest Engagement: Enhancing guest engagement and providing a seamless platform for guests to access and purchase additional services were imperative goals.
Operational Efficiency: As their property portfolio expanded, managing multiple properties became increasingly challenging, especially during peak seasons. Ensuring operational efficiency became a critical concern.

Duve’s Solution

Smart Stay introduced Duve to White Villas to offer a truly memorable experience for guests. Duve empowered White Villas to efficiently sell both in-house and third-party services, simplifying the upselling process. Duve’s advanced communication tools also helped improve guest engagement through scheduled emails, check-in reminders, and digital spots, offering convenient access to the guest app for upsell purchases.

The results speak volumes: boosted revenue, enhanced guest satisfaction, and unmatched convenience. It seamlessly integrates into our ecosystem, creating unforgettable guest experiences. Our guests love it, and it’s echoed in our exceptional guest reviews.

This approach not only optimizes revenue but also enhances guest satisfaction.
High Online Check-In Rate: White Villas reached an impressive 90% online check-in rate, which streamlined the guest arrival process and improved operational efficiency. This efficient check-in process frees up valuable time for on-site butlers to provide personalized attention to guests. Moreover, the team educates guests on how to make the most of Duve’s guest app during their stay, contributing to a memorable experience. The positive guest feedback and excellent reviews attest to the success of Duve in enhancing guest satisfaction and operational effectiveness.
Personalized Guest Experiences: With Duve’s guest app, White Villas was able to create a week-long trip planner based on the group type and preferences. This personalized approach ensures that guests enjoy a seamless and enjoyable stay without the need to search for activities.
