Challenges faced in hostel management
Managing reservations was one of the main challenges faced by Fellipe. The need for a more professional approach, with automatic integration of fare reservations and effective functionality, highlighted the demand for a robust system capable of handling the growing volume of reservations and distribution across various sales channels.
As a professional with experience in the financial field, Fellipe also identified the importance of financial management for the success of the business. The need for detailed monitoring of finances stood out as a significant challenge in the hostel's management journey.
Inventory management emerged as another critical point in the operation. Facing challenges related to automation and precise control, Fellipe recognized the importance of an efficient system that would allow for automated management, minimizing losses and facilitating product replenishment.
HQBeds solutions that contributed to the success of the business.
The HQBeds platform offers more professional booking management, with automatic integration of rate bookings and effective features, allowing Fellipe to manage bookings more efficiently, automating processes and easily integrating with various sales channels.
According to Fellipe, the platform also assists in financial management, offering detailed financial monitoring, including the preparation of income statements, which allowed for a clearer view of the hostel's finances and facilitated control and decision-making in the financial area.
The platform also allows for effective pricing management, enabling quick and accurate price adjustments based on demand and market conditions. This helps improve property occupancy and profitability, ensuring that prices are competitive compared to other sales channels.
Results obtained with the HQBeds platform.
The platform's effective pricing management has contributed to improved hostel occupancy. It is able to quickly adjust prices according to demand and market conditions, ensuring a more consistent occupancy rate.
The ability to efficiently manage pricing and drive more bookings to the hostel's website resulted in higher profitability. Fellipe operates with lower prices on his website compared to other sales channels, encouraging guests to book directly and reducing commissions paid to third parties, which contributes to a higher profit margin.
I can get as many bookings as possible through the network's website. Today, I operate our website with lower prices than all other sales channels. So, when someone is searching, they end up booking much more on our website than on other sales channels. Therefore, in relation to the market, we have a high conversion rate for direct bookings compared to our competitors.
