HotelTech: a cohesive ecosystem for support, sales, and fleet management

Summary

‍
The implementation of the Zoho ecosystem (Desk + CRM + Creator) at Profitroom is an example of a comprehensive HotelTech solution covering three key areas: internal support (HR and IT), customer support for hotels, and sales to hotel chains. In addition, a dedicated application built in Zoho Creator solved the challenge of company fleet management. The key to success was designing an integrated ecosystem in which customer data flows seamlessly between the support system (Zoho Desk) and sales (Zoho CRM), eliminating information silos. This case shows how Zoho can support multiple business processes within one organization while maintaining data consistency and ease of management.

Challenge

‍
Profitroom, a leader in booking technology and marketing for hotels in Poland, supports hundreds of hotel properties. The company needed system support across four key areas:

1. Internal support (HR and IT)
   Employee requests in HR, including leave, business trips, and personnel matters.
   IT requests related to technical issues and equipment needs.
   No ticketing system, with requests handled ad hoc.
2. Customer support (hotels)
   Requests from hotel chains using Profitroom solutions.
   Need for a professional support platform with SLAs and escalation paths.
   Need to track request history and customer satisfaction.
3. Sales to hotel chains
   A complex sales process involving needs analysis, calculations, quotation preparation, negotiation, and order handling.
   Lack of system support for the sales team.
   Difficulty reporting on pipeline and forecasts.
4. Fleet management
   No reservation system for company cars.
   Chaos in assigning vehicles to employees.
   No inspection or service history.
