LONDON: International housekeeping evangelists Optii Solutions announced today that the Radisson Blu Edwardian (Edwardian) group of hotels has successfully completed the rollout of its Optii Keeper housekeeping technology solution to all of its hotels. Built on groundbreaking housekeeping management methodology, Optii Keeper enables the delivery of both operational efficiencies and superior guest service.
The rollout, which commenced with the iconic May Fair Hotel in January this year, has seen Optii Keeper now installed in all thirteen of the group's company-owned properties, located in London, Heathrow and Manchester. Edwardian's Corporate Executive Housekeeper, Ms Tina de Andrade, views Optii Keeper as "an extremely powerful tool which assists our Housekeeping teams to identify how well we are doing or what we need to do better on any given day of the week." As highlighted by Ms de Andrade, key benefits of the installation include an increase in productivity and the earlier availability of "ready" rooms, an improved flow of departmental and interdepartmental communication, enhanced personnel management, and tangible operational data which is used for continuous improvement.
Providing for automated information and records management, Optii Keeper relieves hotels' reliance both upon anecdotal evidence and the individual experience of housekeepers in the identification of training needs, and the management of a paper based filing system. In recognising the importance of housekeeping to a hotel's bottom line, Optii Solutions has developed a best-of-breed technology solution capable of determining intelligent and dynamic work plans. These enable significant operational efficiencies and improved financial control, leading to savings on what is a hotel's largest departmental payroll.
The group-wide installation was overseen by Optii Solutions' partner for Europe and the Middle East, Index Hospitality Systems. "I am proud of the way Radisson Blu Edwardian has embraced Optii Keeper within their daily operations," said Mr Michiel Hillebrand, Index' Optii Keeper Product Manager. "This, in my opinion, has been the result of good cooperation with Tina and the enthusiasm of the Housekeeping team in each hotel."
