SuitePad Devices
One of SuitePad's unique selling points is the customized installation that aligns with your hotel's corporate identity and design. Our dedicated Content Managers carefully integrate your branding into the tablets' software, creating a final product that is one and dear to your hotel.
In this blog post, we explore the design process of SuitePad in-room tablets.
After signing the contract, the onboarding process begins. This typically takes 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the inputs received from the hotel. Our valuable Project Managers assist you with your onboarding to make sure everything works smoothly. We offer a fast-track onboarding option for hotels that promptly provide all the necessary information.
You can find more information about the Onboarding here.
In general, we can link to every additional system via deeplink in our BYOD solution. This means that if there are online shops, online table reservations, online check-in based on weblinks, they can also be accessed through the BYOD solution.
With SuitePad, not only can you promote your hotel app, but you can also maintain the content through SuitePad's CMS. Hotel staff get access to the SuitePad Content Management System. There, among other things, content can be changed, requests and orders can be processed, and push notifications sent to guests, either manually or automatically.
If you want different designs for the sub-brands or your hotel chain, or even individualized tablet interfaces for each of your hotels, that's no problem! SuitePad can build several different designs on the same SuitePad contract, ensuring your hotel brand is maintained across all your establishments while also giving them each some individuality.
All content from your website can be integrated in the SuitePad content either by weblink integration or iframe integration.
As part of our installation service we prepare all settings on every single device at our head office before shipping the tablets to the hotel. However, we can show you a demo installation and device to exhibit what your installation may look like.
Even though SuitePad is primarily an in-room communication solution, SuitePad tablets can also be used in various hotel outlets.
