Abstract
Description
[0001] DESCRIPTION
[0002] HOLISTIC ACCOMMODATION SYSTEM
[0003] FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0004] The invention relates to a holistic accommodation system that reduces the need for personnel other than cleaning and technical personnel in accommodation centers and standardizes the quality of service.
[0005] PRIOR ART
[0006] Due to today's increasing population and increasing tourist density in our country, it has become difficult for the tourism sector to provide adequate service. Due to the increasing population and tourist density, more personnel are needed. Even if the required number of personnel needs is met, this may still not be sufficient to provide quality service. The reason for this is that even if the required number of personnel is recruited, the rate of experience of the recruited personnel is quite low. It is very important for customer satisfaction that the personnel is experienced and open to communication. The number of personnel must be both sufficient and have sufficient experience.
[0007] It has become necessary to develop technological infrastructure in the tourism sector to ensure customer satisfaction. With the developed system, a separate application infrastructure is used for each transaction. In the developed applications, after the user makes the reservation, a completely separate channel manager is required to transfer the reservation to the accommodation center's reservation system. Room assignment to the reservation is also done manually by the reservation officer.
[0008] Filling out the necessary documents for the customer to enter the room is done manually or with a completely separate technology infrastructure. Whether customers leave the accommodation center or not, as well as the control of customers who are not registered in the room, is completely controlled by the personnel in charge at the accommodation center. As it is understood, many operations are performed by relative personnel or by requiring different application infrastructures for each operation.
[0009] Insufficient personnel cause the customers to fail to meet their demands and not to provide quality service. The realization of all transactions from the reservation stage to the exit from the accommodation center by a control system without the need for personnel will enable quality service in the tourism sector.
[0010] A patent application titled “A communication and management system for hotels" numbered 201 1 / 12818, which is in the state of the art, has been encountered. This application relates to a communication and management system that allows guests and hotel staff to carry out all kinds of transactions electronically in hotels. With the system of the present invention, communication problems that arise between guests and hotel staff or hotel staff themselves are eliminated in hotels.
[0011] A patent application titled "Online reservation method" numbered 2021 / 017909, which is in the state of the art, has been encountered. The present application relates to a booking method for making online reservations through a reservation server for travel products including air tickets, bus tickets, train tickets, sea bus cruises, hotel reservations from travel and accommodation service providers via a user device, which may be a smartphone connected to the internet or a device with an operating system.
[0012] As a result, all abovementioned problems have made it necessary to make an improvement in the relevant technical field.
[0013] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
[0014] The present invention aims to eliminate the abovementioned problems and to make a development in the relevant technical field.
[0015] The main object of the present invention is to reveal the holistic accommodation system structure in which the need for personnel other than cleaning and technical personnel is reduced in accommodation centers.
[0016] Another object of the present invention is to reveal a holistic system structure that provides standard and high quality service in accommodation centers.
[0017] Another object of the present invention is to prevent problems caused by personnel error in the transactions carried out in accommodation centers.
[0018] Another object of the present invention is to ensure that the transactions carried out within the accommodation centers are traceable. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
