Hapi and Nemacolin Resort Win the Prestigious 
2024 Hospitality Technology Visionary Partnership Award

Commitment to elevating its CRM solution enhances Nemacolin’s operations and enriches the guest experience through the integration of real-time data
from multiple systems

MIAMI, Nov. 20, 2024 — Today, Hapi, the leading provider of hospitality data and connectivity solutions, announced its work with the Nemacolin Resort, which resulted in winning the prestigious 2024 Hotel Visionary Partnership Award from Hospitality Technology. The Partnership Award is presented to a hotelier-vendor team that demonstrated exceptional collaborative ideation and execution of a technology solution over 12 months or longer.

In today’s often disparate technology environment, system integrations can be overwhelming. The data hoteliers need to make better business decisions and improve the guest experience is stored in silos and often not shared across the tech stack. Getting systems to communicate and share data in similar formats often requires deep integrations that can be costly and require many resources. This makes hotel data inaccessible to property decision-makers and, thus, unactionable by the staff.

While advancements are ongoing, the initial project from Hapi and Nemacolin enabled the following:

• Actionable Unified Guest Profile for Front-Line Staff—Using Experiential Preferences Data allows booking agents and front desk team members to suggest activities or better prepare services before a guest arrives. For example, team members can be alerted to VIP arrivals for the day to prepare rooms according to guest preferences, such as stocking the mini-fridge with their favorite treat or drink.
• Highly Targeted and Personalized Marketing—Access to data-driven insights helps hoteliers develop targeted marketing campaigns based on past and future arrival and departure dates, previous cancellation dates, geographic segmentation, and various guest profile data inputs.

Luis Segredo, CEO and co-founder of Hapi, said: “We couldn’t be prouder to accept the Hotel Visionary Partnership Award from the Hospitality Technology team. Our work with the Nemacolin Resort and its team demonstrates the power of data connectivity and a unified guest profile. Nemacolin’s greatest strength throughout this process was ensuring all stakeholders were informed of the overall status. It ultimately resulted in their ability to deliver a highly personalized experience for their guests.”

Abigail Lorden, vice president and publisher of Hospitality Technology, said: “We are proud to honor this year’s award winners, whose work exemplifies the innovative spirit and dedication driving the hotel industry forward. These honorees showcase the remarkable impact that thoughtful technology solutions have on the guest experience and operational excellence while fostering sustainable growth in hospitality.”
