Touchless Operations in Infor Hospitality Cloud
Infor Hospitality Cloud Solutions are designed to address hotel operational needs for social distancing and contactless processes, including mobile check-in, digital keys and the ability to order room service from a guest’s own device.
The product’s specifically intended for hotels and resorts, casinos and gaming businesses, restaurants, food services, and event sales and table reservations.
Although designed primarily with guests in mind, the hospitality tools help minimize contact between guests and hotel employees. Hospitality HR professionals say that ability has become increasingly important as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, since both guests and employees regard distancing as a safety imperative.
“The customer perspective and employee perspective go hand-in-hand,” observed the HR director for a small group of resorts in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. “If they’re comfortable and they feel like you’ve taken all of the measures to make sure that they’re going to be able to do their job safely, that’s going to translate to a sense of security and safety for our guests, as well.”
HR technology vendors are exploring a range of touchless applications as the pandemic drags on. Salesforce and Siemens, for example, recently launched suite to help reopening businesses address physical issues related to employee experience. Salesforce’s Work.com also added Traction Guest, a visitor and employee management solution with touchless sign-in and registration tools.
In February, Infor became a standalone subsidiary of Koch Industries, when the conglomerate’s
Koch Equity Development acquired the equity stake formerly held by Golden Gate Capital. The transaction was reported to be worth an estimated $13 billion.
Koch Industries is often regarded as an industrial conglomerate, but the company has become increasingly active in technology ventures. Koch-controlled entities have invested more than $26 billion in technology-related ventures over the past six years, Infor said.
