Route guest inquiries and special requests
Guest inquiries usually slows down when guest emails, booking records, room availability, preference notes, and local recommendations do not tell the same story, or when a guest asks a question, makes a special request, or needs booking help. Imagine keeps those sources in view, prepares a guest summary, response draft, and staff task recommendation, and separates the ready work from the judgment calls. After review, the approved update goes back to the PMS and guest thread, so guests get warm answers without staff hunting through records.
The manual reality today
-
01
No one has the full guest inquiries picture
guest emails, booking records, room availability, preference notes, and local recommendations each hold part of the answer, so the team burns time piecing together what happened before they can respond.
-
02
The guest inquiries clock is easy to miss
When a guest asks a question, makes a special request, or needs booking help, the next step can sit until someone checks the right queue, thread, portal, or spreadsheet.
-
03
Guest inquiries proof disappears into side channels
Approvals, notes, and updates end up in side channels, making it hard to tell what was sent, what changed, and who signed off.
