Stockholm, Sweden (date): For hotels with hundreds or even thousands of remote controls to maintain, for whom managing the little details of every guest’s stay can be the difference between excellence and annoyance, batteries are a regular and reoccurring problem. InnSpire, the innovative leader in hotel technology, has an elegant and unique solution to this problem with the introduction of Qi wireless charging for its Air-mouse remote controls – which works to charge the guests’ own devices too.
Rogier Hurkmans, General Manager of the award-wining Crowne Plaza Brussels, says,
“If guests can’t watch TV because the remote won’t work, staff have to run to quickly replace them and instead of enhancing a guests stay you’re instead dealing with problems and annoyance. We want to remove every possible source of frustration so guests can simply enjoy their stay with us. InnSpire’s’ solution is very welcome indeed.
Martin Chevalley, CEO of InnSpire adds
“Hoteliers often tell me of the problems caused by something as simple and small as the batteries in a remote control. Previously they had no way of knowing if they needed replacing or not, and when they did a member of staff has to be sent to change them for a guest. These are moments of frustration for a guest that could so easily be avoided, if only there was a good solution. Now there is, with the InnSpire Qi wireless charger, not only will the Air-mouse always be charged, but guests can even charge their supported devices too!”
Hotels simply place the InnSpire Qi wireless charger beside the bed and guests place the remote or their mobile device and the problem is solved. To further enhance and ease the operations for the hotels, InnSpire has yet another trick up its sleeve – the remote self-checks its battery levels. InnSpire’s Air-mouse is equipped with a Patent Pending ‘Battery Self Checker’ that will send a text-message to staff the batteries are getting low and the staff just ensure the remote is on the charger the next time the room is checked out.
While customer service is every good hotel’s highest priority, it is not their only concern. The hotel industry is increasingly aware of its environmental responsibilities while at the same time keeping control of their costs. InnSpire’s unique solution helps deal with both issues, by eliminating the need to purchase batteries and the need to dispose of them costs and waste are reduced at the same time.
Martin Chevalley of InnSpire concludes,
We believe that in our quest to help hotels entertain better, sell more and understand guest behaviours, clearly we don’t need to compromise either on quality or on the environment. By using some of the latest technology solutions we can help hotels reduce their environmental footprint, save them money while at the same time helping them offer their guests a frustration-free visit.
