How iNextLabs Reinvented Guest Experience for a Serviced Apartment with AI-Powered Conversational Chatbot

*Originally published on [iNextLabs Blog]


Introduction

Centrepark is an exclusive range of serviced apartments located in Coimbatore. In the era of conversational AI and messaging communications, they wanted to adopt the pace of technology. They sought an AI-powered chatbot solution to engage prospective guests across popular communication channels 24/7.


Goal

Traditional customer support methods could not keep up with the 24/7, 365 needs of consumers. The major objective was to connect with clients at important phases of their hotel journey to propel them down the booking route.

Everyone wanted a quick response and did not want to wait. Receiving an email reply within 24 hours was no longer a solution and probably led people to find other hotels. For a serviced apartment competing in today's hospitality market, real-time AI customer engagement was no longer optional it was essential.


Solution

Gone are the days when their leasing advisors would spend hours monitoring social media and other digital channels to produce replies to frequent tenant enquiries. With AI-powered chat automation, they could manage the initial lines of conversation, passing more nurtured leads to the leasing team. They also helped guests with simple queries and requests. As a result, hotel workers dedicated more of their time and attention to time sensitive, vital, and complex duties.

As a proud member of the Google Business Messages programme, iNextLabs built Google Business Messages for Centrepark, which operated as an AI hotel concierge, empowering guests with fast, real-time support across Google Search and Google Maps.

iNextLabs also proposed to integrate their business with WhatsApp automation to stimulate human-like communication between the brand and customers via the WhatsApp chat interface is one of the most widely used messaging platforms for hospitality guest engagement in India.
