We sat down with the Commercial Manager and Revenue Manager at Spier Hotel to find out directly from them how Juyo Analytics is assisting his decision making and the overall performance.

“Juyo allows you to seamlessly interpret large data- allowing for deeper analysis (filtering and cross-filtering) and the insights that come out of that data is where true potential lies.”

The solution allows us to seamlessly interpret large data – allowing for deeper analysis (filtering and cross-filtering) and the insights that come out of that data is where true potential lies.

Can you please provide us with some of your biggest challenges before implementing Juyo?

 

Decision making accuracy was difficult to achieve before we implemented Juyo Analytics. Since implementation, managers have improved decision making to achieve maximum profit and eliminated human errors.

We have cut down many hours of manual reporting. Before Juyo, tracking and monitoring our analytics was time consuming.

It was difficult to go through large data effectively. After connecting with Juyo Analytics we have eliminated the need for a team member to spend hours compiling a report to only find that it does not provide you the information you need.

Which Juyo constellations bring the most value to your day-to-day data needs?

 

The daily breakdown of our business and comparison of Pick-up vs Pick-up L.Y.

How many hours per week do you estimate Juyo is saving you at your hotel?

 

Since we have implemented Juyo Analytics, I save at least the equivalent of a week’s worth of time each month – probably more.

The ability for me to create my customised dashboards and reports which are readily accessible to me is an incredible time saver which also enables to me explore my business dimensions quickly.

Which departments/personnel are using Juyo Analytics? If yes, what analytics or constellations are they using?

 

At the present moment, it just within the Revenue and Commercial managers, however I am in the process of creating user accounts for our sales manager and reservations and revenue administrator.

Another one of Juyo’s perks: Multiple departments at different levels within the hotel can utilise the business intelligence to extract data relevant to their roles.
