Why did they choose Civitfun?

We had the opportunity to coincide with Civitfun at one of the most important national fairs and we were interested in knowing their solutions, especially for offering a tool perfectly integrated with our PMS. Together we explored the benefits of collaborating and shared the perspective of how to further improve our service offering. It was a very enriching encounter.

Push Paperless

The smooth bidirectional data synchronization between Civitfun and NN Hotels' management system, Opera Cloud, allows optimizing and simplifying all front desk operations.

Digitalization and automation of check-in

The possibility for guests to check in online from their devices before arriving at the hotel, either through a link sent by the hotel itself or through Booking.com, offers autonomy and allows for a significant reduction in waiting queues and savings in manual reception processes.

The Push Paperless functionality provides a significant improvement in the efficiency and quality of services by further simplifying and speeding up reception tasks.

This integration between the PMS and the receptionist's tablet allows for a seamless transition and drastically reduces the time needed to check in, thus improving the guest experience and the hotel's operational efficiency.

Imagine how practical it is to simply press a button in the hotel management system (PMS) and immediately the receptionist's tablet receives a notification. By pressing that notification, the receptionist is taken directly to the check-in screen of the client standing in front of him at that moment.

Reduction of paper and ink expenses

The complete digitization of reception processes, including the full digitalization of registration cards, the elimination of paper forms, electronic signature of contracts, and scanning of documents with OCR technology, has resulted in a significant saving of paper and ink. It also eliminates the duty of paper storage by having all data saved electronically.

This transition not only reduces office supply costs but also minimizes environmental impact by reducing generated waste and natural resource consumption. It also simplifies and speeds up registration processes, improving the guest experience by reducing wait times and making the process more efficient.

It is easy to set up and easy to use. In addition, the implementation of the PUSH functionality is very helpful for the hotel reception, as it sends the order from the PMS to the Paperless Tablet with just a button press on the reservation itself in the PMS, leaving the reservation available for the client on the Tablet without having to waste time searching for it
