The Challenge
A hotel chain with 4 properties received 500+ daily WhatsApp messages and phone calls for room availability, pricing, and booking inquiries. The front desk staff was overwhelmed, response times were suffering, and potential bookings were lost. **Communication Overload:** - 500+ daily inquiries across WhatsApp, phone, and email - Average response time of 4+ hours on WhatsApp during peak season - Front desk staff spending 60% of time on repetitive inquiries - No after-hours coverage leading to lost international bookings **Booking Friction:** - No real-time availability visible to potential guests - Manual quote generation taking 15-30 minutes per inquiry - No automated confirmation or follow-up system - Group booking inquiries requiring 2-3 days for response
Our Solution
Developed AI-powered WhatsApp chatbot with natural language understanding
Integrated chatbot with Property Management System for real-time availability and pricing
Built automated booking workflow with payment gateway integration
Created multi-language support for English, Hindi, and Gujarati
Implemented smart escalation to human agents for complex queries
Project Overview
Atithi Hotel Group, operating 4 properties across Gujarat with a combined 280 rooms, was struggling with communication overload. Their WhatsApp Business account, which had become the primary booking inquiry channel, was receiving 500+ messages daily with response times stretching to 4+ hours during peak season. They needed AI automation to handle the volume while improving guest experience.
The Challenge
Communication Bottleneck
- 500+ daily messages across WhatsApp, with new queries every 2 minutes during peak times
- 4+ hour average response time despite 3 staff members dedicated to WhatsApp
- Repetitive queries (room rates, availability, amenities) consuming 80% of inquiry volume
- After-hours coverage non-existent, losing international and late-night bookings
Revenue Impact
- 30% of inquiries abandoned due to slow response
- High OTA dependency (75% bookings through third-party platforms with 15-20% commission)
- No quote automation — each pricing request manually calculated
- Group bookings requiring 2-3 days for custom quote preparation
