Hotel Isha Residency – Increase in occupancy with using Aiosell All in One System | Case Study

Overview
Nestled in the vibrant town of Aluva, Kerala, India – Hotel Isha Residency is a business hotel 10 km from Kochi International Airport and a short 3 km from Rajagiri Hospital. Considering the the property is located between airport and city, it gets a lot of transit passengers, holidayers, business & FIT travellers.
Challenges Faced
While the hotel was offering good experience, the hotel owners were struggling with low occupancy & low rates, not bringing enough profits. There was still a lot of manual work done around:

- Limited Pricing Flexibility – Without the ability to adjust room prices dynamically, the hotel struggled to make the most of high-demand periods or respond quickly to changes in occupancy and competition.
- Operational Inefficiencies – Day-to-day tasks like tracking reservations, handling guest check-ins/check-outs, and maintaining records were time-consuming and error-prone.
- No Direct Booking Option – Not having a dedicated booking engine meant missing out on direct reservations and paying hefty OTA commissions.
