Hastings Hotels, Northern Ireland’s largest hotel group, has teamed up with For-Sight to elevate their guest experience and marketing efforts through For-Sight’s data-driven strategy and automation solutions. This partnership will enable Hastings Hotels to leverage first-party data to better understand and engage with their guests, ultimately leading to improved relationships and increased bookings.
Matt McRoberts, Digital Marketing Manager at Hastings Hotels, discussed what brought the group to utilise For-Sight, “When looking for a new CRM system what blew us away wasn’t just how well the system integrates with other third party systems we use across our collection of hotels and spa, or the fact that it can lead us to greater personalisation for guests to receive the emails they want to receive, but it was the team we met who demonstrated their passion and commitment to wanting to work with us and achieve a better solution for us.”
For-Sight empowers hospitality professionals to fully understand and optimise the guest journey. Our platform combines data management, operational insights, and tools to deliver a personalised experience at every touchpoint. By unifying hotel technology systems, For-Sight transforms siloed guest data from your Property Management System (PMS) and other transactional systems into a single source of truth for each guest and their journey with your brand. With our CRM functionality and multi-channel tools, opportunities are easily identified and personalised communication and marketing campaigns can be delivered at scale, driving increased direct revenue, guest loyalty and engagement.
“We are thrilled to partner with Hastings Hotels and empower them to take their guest engagement to the next level!” For-Sight’s Director of Sales, Matt Willacy expressed.
“Hastings Hotels are a highly respected brand with a prestigious portfolio of properties. The team at For-Sight look forward to seeing the positive impact our partnership will have on the guest experience. By utilizing our data-driven strategy and automation tools, Hastings Hotels will be able to segment their guests and communicate with them in a personalized and effective way, which will ultimately lead to improved relationships, increased bookings and higher loyalty.”
