Palladium has partnered with Quicktext, a leading AI and Big Data solutions provider in the hospitality industry, to transform lead generation and revenue optimization. As a prominent Spanish hotel chain under Grupo Empresas Matutes (GEM), overseeing operations across six countries and 36 hotels, Palladium implemented Quicktext’s Velma virtual assistant to provide guests with round-the-clock multilingual booking services and instant responses.
The collaboration with Quicktext has elevated the quality of personalized guest communication, unlocking new revenue opportunities for Palladium. By efficiently redirecting requests that would typically require individual attention to their service hotline, Palladium ensures a seamless and personalized guest experience.
