Hospitality
Digital management of hospitality projects and assets to increase profitability and enhance customer experience
Industry Challenge
In the hospitality industry, various stakeholders are involved from the design of a hotel to its operation. Investors, owners, operators, and hotel groups must manage their business with the available asset information.
This information is often incomplete, scattered, and outdated. Let’s look at some cases:
Investors and owners seek to maximize the use of available space during the design phase. This requirement is communicated to the design team, who study a limited number of configurations, more or less reduced depending on the complexity and available resources.
On the other hand, operators must manage maintenance campaigns or take the risk of losses associated with downtime. With the added complication that breakdowns occur when equipment is most in use, which is generally during peak seasons.
As a final example, hotel groups must not only ensure the profitability of their hotel portfolio but also assess the profitability of new franchisees and provide confidence to investors.
Current technologies applied to the built environment, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology in particular, are helpful for the challenges faced by the hospitality industry.
Thanks to these tools, we can, among other benefits, automate part of the design to optimize building configuration, link As-Built project information to the maintenance system, visualize assets clearly and updatedly, communicate business data in the building context, or generate a virtual reality environment for mockup evaluations or renovations.
Finally, the use of BIM technologies and digital twins allows capturing the necessary data and providing it to each stakeholder from a single and reliable data source.
Modelical assists investors, owners, operators, and hotel groups in establishing the appropriate digital strategy so they can improve control over their projects and assets. We help them integrate BIM and equip themselves with accessible and updated information for their business.
