Sentral properties deliver an elevated check-in experience to guests, while enjoying up to a 253% ROI from kiosk-based upsells
Stayntouch, a global leader in cloud hotel property management systems (PMS) and guest-centric technologies, expands their thriving partnership with Sentral, a leading full-building residential hospitality operator. Sentral boasts a network of Class A apartment properties across the U.S., offering flexible living services, authentic local experiences, premium amenities and community connection for residents and guests.
Stayntouch PMS operates across 14 properties in the Sentral portfolio, including Sentral Michigan Avenue and Sentral Union Station. These establishments have integrated Stayntouch Kiosk for an elevated guest experience. By effectively utilizing Stayntouch’s mobile and kiosk-driven upsell technology, Sentral properties have generated ample revenue to self-fund these systems.
Sentral Michigan Avenue achieved a remarkable 253% ROI from their Kiosk subscription within a year, or a 120% ROI from their combined Kiosk and Cloud PMS subscriptions. Similarly, revenue from mobile-based early check-in offerings at Sentral Union Station covers their combined Cloud PMS and Kiosk subscription costs.
Todd Butler, Chief Technology Officer at Sentral comments, “Stayntouch PMS and Kiosk has streamlined and enhanced our check-in process. Guests now have the option of a
rapid, staff-less welcome experience, presented in a way that avoids any sense of pressure – the upsell decision rests entirely with the guest. The revenue generated from ancillary upsells and offers is significant, surpassing our subscription costs and tech investment with Stayntouch. We’re extremely satisfied with the additional revenue to offset costs, all the while providing guests with an enriched stay.”
Priya Rajamani, VP of Implementation and Support at Stayntouch said, “We are very excited that Sentral has leveraged our platforms not only to enhance their guest experience but to boost their bottom line and generate a positive ROI. Ultimately, our mission is to develop technology to enhance hospitality for hotel operators, staff, and
their guests, and we are proud that Sentral has been able to use our technology to reimagine flexible living communities.”
Sentral aims to roll out the Stayntouch Kiosk at additional properties, seeking to amplify financial benefits while consistently elevating the guest experience.
