How do we strategize hospitality innovation with technology and data?
Kak Vidiskiu Fortino as our Senior Data Scientist and Kak Bella Christina as our Revenue Management Specialist shared their stories working in Bukit Vista to help answer that big question. They showed the audience what they’re dealing with everyday in order to achieve the company goals.
“technology is one type of tool that provides solution. It can actually increase efficiency and improve overall experience”
Kak Vidi explained that we need technology to make everything easier. One case in Bukit Vista as an example is load of bookings coming from different sources in different properties especially when peak season is happening. Without it, we would loose track of our own clients (guests) and bad reviews will show up.
But how do we keep the tools simple to use for everyone? Everyone means the guests and fellow partners in Bukit Vista. We called the app BV GO. It can monitor a property, check and update guests with transparency also automated.
He later showed the students a demo of the tools that Bukit Vista using, he pretend to make new settings by inputting some new codes to the system. The students which has Computer Science background was amazed on how ka Vidi did it.

Well what kind of data are we talking about in hospitality industry like BV? it could be number of occupied rooms in Bali from time to time, number of arrivals and departures to Indonesia, average daily rates, revenue per available room, booking window, and monthly length of stay.
