From one-night guest to lifelong customer

In hospitality, every stay is a chance to get to know the customer, and it's almost always missed. Wapping gives each guest a unique, verified identity, stays with them before, during and after their stay, and gives them reasons to come back.

The challenge

A satisfied guest is not a loyal guest. Loyalty begins when you know who they are and give them a reason to come back.

The hotel industry challenge

Three problems every hotel knows well

1

Transient guests, transient data

Many bookings come through intermediaries that provide little or no useful data. The hotel knows the stay, but not always the guest.

2

Infrequent stays, competition on every search

Between stays, guests shop around again. Whoever keeps their attention wins the booking.

3

Full in high season, empty in low season

The challenge isn't selling in August; it's selling in November. You need incentives that drive demand where it's really needed.

Guest checking their phone in a hotel lobby, with their suitcase, and a verified guest card

Built for your industry

One guest, one identity

The guest registers only once by verifying their phone number with an OTP. That guarantees a unique customer, with no duplicates or email accounts created on the fly, and a profile that gets richer with every stay.

Tiers earned stay after stay

Define tiers based on spend, and the benefits of each one. Guests can see in their wallet which tier they're in and what they need to reach the next one, and get notified when they get there.

Built for your industry

Earn all year, redeem in the low season

With earning and redemption calendars, savings build up when the guest spends and are redeemed only on the dates you want to fill, without devaluing your high-season rates.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

How does Wapping identify the guest?

The guest registers only once and validates their phone with an OTP. This process guarantees unique customers, with no duplicates and no data merge and curation processes, and creates a 360° Customer Profile that is enriched with every stay.

Can I allow redemption only in the low season?

Yes. Points or savings programs support independent earning and redemption calendars. Guests can earn all year round and redeem only on the dates you want to fill.

Does it work for a chain with several hotels?

Yes. Loyalty services can apply to all properties, to a group of properties, or only to specific ones, with a unique customer profile across the entire network.

Does it integrate with the PMS or the booking engine?

Wapping connects to point-of-sale systems through its Checkout API, and to your Ecommerce. The specific integration with your hotel's PMS or booking engine is defined in the technical kickoff meeting, based on the systems you use.
