Altek serves as the AI-driven inquiry conversion engine specifically designed for hotels. While many tools in this sector focus solely on responding to guest emails, Altek goes further by managing the underlying tasks necessary for those responses.
The platform's AI email assistant stands out as its most popular feature, capable of interpreting guest emails in over 100 languages. It efficiently retrieves real-time availability, pricing, and reservation information from systems like Mews, Oracle OPERA Cloud, Visbook/BookVisit, or Infor HMS, while simultaneously drafting replies and executing operational tasks such as creating, modifying, or canceling reservations, logging guest notes, issuing payment links, and arranging restaurant tables or spa treatments—all from the same email conversation.
This streamlined process allows front desk, booking, and central reservations teams to approve requests in approximately thirty seconds, a significant improvement compared to the usual 5 to 15 minutes spent navigating through multiple systems. Approval is set as the standard procedure rather than the maximum limit, with each type of action categorized as draft, approved, or auto-sent based on the property's specifications and risk assessment, all of which are meticulously tracked in an audit log. Furthermore, this sophisticated system ensures a more efficient workflow, enhancing overall guest satisfaction and operational efficiency.
