SnapShot the Superior Smart Analytics designed for Hotels

It takes a nimble, future-minded, and forward-thinking leadership to take advantage of collected data from the different Content Portals and applied analytics. The modern Hotel leaders of today are implementing new and innovative ways to benefit from data analytics.

SnapShot provides a Superior Smart Analytics tool designed for Hotels.

SnapShot Dashboard

The basic idea behind SnapShot is to take SnapShots of the most important Key Performance Indicators for Hotels, and present visual data in an easy to read manner.

The presentation of the data is generated through a dashboard that is easy and enjoyable for decision-makers to read.

The primary dashboard generates Key Performance Indicators in 6 main areas;

  • Key Performance Indicators from your Hotels Property Management System
  • Competitive data from STR Global
  • Market pricing from OTA Expert
  • Reviews from TripAdvisor
  • Website Analytics from Google Analytics
  • Social Media data from Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter

Your Hotel will have easy access to the most important data and identify concerns very fast.

SnapShot will let you get into more details within each of the main areas. Front Desk or Revenue Managers can present relevant data with a SnapShot of last day’s performance data.

Hotels cater to millions of travelers every day and each one of them checks in with their own set of expectations. Meeting those expectations is the key to getting people to return, and increasingly hotel and leisure operators are turning to advanced analytics solutions for clues about how to keep their customers happy.

Multi-property Analytics

“When we set out to build SnapShot Analytics our mission was to help key decision-makers in Hotels by bringing together essential demand-related data in an easy-to-use dashboard. Today we’re happy to announce that we’ve added new multi-property functionality to SnapShot Analytics so Hotel groups and chains can get the most out of our Hotel Analytics tool. SnapShot Analytics can now help hotel groups and chains get an overview of the big multi-property picture while also getting detailed (and customizable) Hotel-level granularity.
