What is CRM?
CRM can be defined as the management of customer relationships. In online marketing, it refers to a software or platform used to implement and maintain all relationships and interactions with existing and potential customers.
CRM in the hotel industry
In a CRM system in the hotel industry, all guest information and data, all contacts (emails, phone calls, personal conversations, etc.) with guests as well as reservation requests or booking information are centrally managed.
The ADDITIVE+ CRM application is used for the evaluation of reservation and occupancy data (an interface to the hotel's own PMS is required) as well as for the segmentation of guest data for the ADDITIVE+ NEWSLETTER.
