Problem
Hotels often struggle to manage direct bookings, distribute inventory across multiple channels, and personalize the guest experience, leading to lost revenue and operational inefficiencies. Existing central reservation systems (CRS) and channel management solutions can be complex, costly, and lack the AI-driven capabilities needed to optimize direct sales and customer engagement.
Solution
智客牛 (ZhiKeNiu) provides an AI-powered, cloud-based marketing platform designed to help hotels increase direct bookings and revenue through intelligent automation and omnichannel distribution. The platform includes a next-generation CRS, a hotel website builder, a mini-program builder for popular platforms like WeChat and Douyin, a channel manager, and an AI-driven marketing automation engine. By integrating these tools, hotels can create a unified guest experience across all touchpoints, manage inventory and pricing in real-time, and leverage AI to personalize marketing campaigns and drive conversions. The platform also facilitates direct connections with customers, enabling hotels to build loyalty and reduce reliance on online travel agencies (OTAs).
Target Audience

It also caters to technology-driven enterprises seeking efficient solutions for managing corporate travel and hotel bookings.
