What is Altek?
Altek functions as a cutting-edge, AI-powered inquiry conversion engine tailored specifically for the hospitality industry. Unlike many tools that merely reply to guest emails, Altek elevates the experience by also overseeing the essential tasks that support those responses.
The platform's AI email assistant is its hallmark feature, adept at understanding guest emails in more than 100 languages. It seamlessly gathers real-time availability, pricing, and reservation details from various systems, including Mews, Oracle OPERA Cloud, Visbook/BookVisit, and Infor HMS, while simultaneously crafting replies and performing operational duties such as creating, modifying, or canceling reservations, recording guest notes, issuing payment links, and coordinating restaurant bookings or spa appointments—all within the same email thread.
This efficient approach enables front desk, booking, and central reservations teams to process requests in about thirty seconds, a remarkable reduction from the usual time of 5 to 15 minutes that is typically spent maneuvering through multiple platforms. The system establishes approval as the standard procedure, categorizing each action as draft, approved, or auto-sent according to the property's criteria and risk assessment, which are thoroughly documented in an audit log. Additionally, this advanced system not only streamlines workflows but also significantly boosts guest satisfaction and operational effectiveness, making it an invaluable tool for modern hotels. By integrating such capabilities, Altek positions itself as a leader in enhancing the guest experience and optimizing hotel operations.
