Touch-screen, All-in-one Guest Portal Turns Guest Rooms into Profit Centers
Iron-Media is poised to give guest rooms a makeover with their Guest Room Portal(GRP), a revolutionary new touch-screen device. At their fingertips, hotel guests can enjoy an interactive Virtual Concierge with instant access to hotel amenities and local attractions.
The comprehensive, one-stop guest service solution can even pay for itself many times over with optional advertising displays. Advertiser dollars dictate how many seconds each ad appears, and businesses can also rent the vendor buttons on the home screen (e.g. car services) for even more exclusive placement. The guest services button can also link to businesses like restaurants, bars and spas, within or outside the facility, allowing several entities to combine resources and invest in the Iron-Media solution.
While generating revenue, the totally customizable GRP adds an impressive touch of elegance to guest rooms and blends seamlessly with the décor. Hotels and resorts are required to provide a guest room phone as an emergency precaution, but elevating a simple phone to the next level can help distinguish them from the competition and strengthen guest loyalty.
“Not only are we providing a value-add for the guest, but we are bringing life back into the guest room phone, a potentially obsolete – but very necessary – piece of hardware and the oldest of technologies," said Joe Ruggieri, managing partner of Iron-Media.
The Guest Room Portal functions with the facilities existing wired or wireless network. The GRP's server can integrate with or upgrade to replace the hotel's existing phone system and provide the option to quickly call or research local taxis, restaurants, airports, and events. The GRP is an ideal solution for business travelers and tourists – all without adding more stress to the hotel’s front desk staff.
Ruggieri and fellow Iron-Media founding partner Pat Collins have a combined total of over 30 years of telecommunications experience. They spent years building reliable, long-lasting, enterprise-grade solutions for the financial industry, where 90 percent of revenue is generated by phone. The Guest Portal brings the duo’s expertise and innovation to the hospitality industry for the first time.
