We can define the concept of sustainability in its simplest form as the ability to solve today's problems without harming the resources that future generations will need. If we excessively exploit the resources we have to meet today's needs, the economic investments, technological advancements, or cultural heritage we leave for future generations will lose all meaning. So, can we contribute to sustainability when choosing hotel software? The following 5 questions address the concept of sustainability from the perspective of hotels and hotel software:
Is your hotel software cloud-based?
Thanks to the use of cloud-supported technologies, businesses can use their resources more efficiently and effectively. McKinsey analysts foresee that using cloud-supported technologies will greatly help achieve the "zero emissions" target by 2050. According to a McKinsey report*, using cloud technologies instead of inefficient data centers and servers will contribute billions of dollars toward reaching the zero emissions goal. Having your hotel software run in the cloud is important not only for the overall budget of the hotel but also for the future of our planet.
Does your front office software control energy savings?
Elektraweb Hotel Management System integrates the building's heating and cooling system with the front office software. This limits energy use to the time guests actually occupy the room, preventing unnecessary resource waste.
Does your hotel software have a waste tracking/management system?
The new version of Elektraweb Hotel Management System will be equipped with waste tracking capabilities. This will allow classification of waste by type and monitoring of recycling processes through the software. Additionally, with the support of machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies, past data will be analyzed based on many parameters to predict consumer behavior and expected usage, enabling hotels to operate with minimal waste.
Is your purchasing system sustainability-conscious?
It is important for every hotel to prioritize products from local suppliers to promote sustainability. Elektraweb scores and categorizes suppliers based on their production conditions, location, and sustainability practices, providing purchasing departments with reports to support environmentally responsible buying.
Can you track all processes without using paper?
With Elektraweb Hotel Management System, your hotel transforms into a digital data center. Business processes in all departments—from housekeeping to spa, CRM to personnel management—are monitored through the software, enabling paperless hotel management.
