TigerTMS has partnered with CNN International Commercial (CNNIC) to utilise CNN Travel Advertising Platform (CNN TAP) a free digital tool to deliver news across guest facing and travel technologies through their own device in a variety of hospitality and travel settings.

AskMeTiger (www.askmetiger.com) is a mobile guest services solution that provides branded venue information to enhance guest engagement, simply by scanning a QR-code.

Content is easily uploaded via an online Manager directly by business owners and operators. Following simple prompts, in as little as 30 minutes, the AskMeTiger solution will display a bespoke mobile information tool for any business.

For the guest, there is no traditional download of an app – a simple scan of a QR code accesses all the information a business needs to provide. Through CNN TAP, AskMeTiger incorporates CNN news – so with a touch of a button, guests see latest headlines and news bulletins of the day.

TigerTMS has a pedigree in Hospitality software development stretching back almost 40 years. With this partnership with CNN and their worldwide recognition, both companies are set to revolutionise the sector with a solution that is completely free of charge and extremely easy to use both for the accommodation provider and their guests.

AskMeTiger is the freemium version of iPortal – the widely used mobile Guests services solution from TigerTMS. John Owen, CEO at TigerTMS, comments: “AskMeTiger is based on iPortal - the platinum version of our mobile guest services offering that supports hoteliers who want to integrate into their PMS and benefit from features such as F&B order and pay, speed dial to hotel departments, or automatic checkout”.

“However, since the launch of iPortal, it has come to light that there is a huge section of hospitality – the smaller venues such as guest houses, smaller hotels, holiday homes and holiday parks etc - who do not require such features and integration. For these venues, a fully integrated solution is not needed. That’s where the brainchild to create AskMeTiger stemmed. It is a perfect tool for any business who wants an easy to use, free mobile solution for their customers”.

Natasha Raynor, Senior Global Sales Manager EMEA Hotels of CNN TAP & Technology Partners adds “This is a game-changing offer for a sector that really deserves a helping hand. The past couple of years have been trying times for hospitality, and we’re delighted to join forces with TigerTMS to offer a solution that will revolutionise businesses and provide consumers with news and information at their fingertips.”

AskMeTiger is free to use at http://www.askmetiger.com.
