Quicktext and Witbooking partnership: Increase hotel direct bookings
Witbooking partners with Quicktext to help hotels leverage artificial intelligence and reinforce their direct booking strategy. This integration enables all Witbooking hotel customers to easily connect their booking engine to Velma, Quicktext’s smart hotel chatbot.
“‘We are certain that a good chatbot significantly increases the conversion rate of the direct booking channels. This is possible by clarifying pre-booking doubts, simplifying interaction in mobile environments, and adapting content. Chatbots offer hoteliers the possibility to be relevant for every specific user and situation”, says Ventura Marti, CEO & Founder, Witbooking.
Until now, booking engines were about making direct bookings easy for customers that had already made a purchase decision. Now that customers are more hesitant than ever, it is essential that hotels take customers by the hand and convince undecided customers to book now.
As a result of this integration, Velma chatbot is able to deliver price, availability, and pictures of the rooms through a conversation. Subsequently, the chatbot guides the customer to Witbooking safe payment interface. Hoteliers using Witbooking can benefit from this interface very quickly. They will find it easy to set up their Quicktext chatbot and thereafter, increase their direct booking revenue.
Miquel Alba from Via Augusta Hotel was the first hotelier to benefit from this integration. “Quicktext significantly reduced the volume of repetitive calls and emails that our Frontdesk had to deal with every day. With Velma we can deliver instant service to our customers. We have expanded our customer service to mobile channels such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp”, he says.
