The challenge
Originally, 13 of the Alma hotel’s rooms didn’t have Wi-Fi or television systems. During the expansion and development of the hotel, they quickly realized this needed to change.
To improve efficiency and provide guests with an effortless stay, Hotel Alma realized that a fast Wi-Fi connection was necessary throughout the entire hotel. The management of their televisions also needed to be streamlined into one system.
Hotel Alma started the procurement process by researching and comparing different hotel tech providers online. After submitting a contact request through Planet’s website, Hotel Alma was impressed by the quick response and personalized service. The hotel’s requirements were thoroughly mapped out and a tailor-made offer was prepared by Planet, that could be flexibly modified if need be.
The solution
Hotel Alma decided to install Planet’s modern solutions, Planet Guest Internet and Hoist Interactive TV. It was imperative that the products and services were immediately available for deployment and easy to expand to the new building later in the year.
The result
Results
In the beginning, the availability of televisions posed some challenges and as a result, the TV model had to be changed. Regardless of these challenges, installations went according to schedule. Through close cooperation the change was smooth, and Hotel Alma was happy with the result. Hotel Alma got what they were after – A functional and scalable network and a seamless, customizable, manageable, and modern TV management system. For guests, this means effortless connection to a reliable network, through which they can stream content on the room’s TV.
