Turn every guest interaction into a seamless customer journey that elevates customer experience.
A hotel chain increased containment by 60% across 14 million voice and digital interactions with Verint IVA.
A travel company achieved 95% containment and a 30% increase in revenue per booking after deploying Verint IVA.
Hospitality contact centers operate under a distinct set of conditions that shape how they plan, staff, and deliver service. Demand patterns can shift quickly, operations often span global regions, and guest expectations require consistent experiences across channels. These factors create a level of operational variability that standard contact center approaches are not always designed to handle.
Hurtigruten Group, the adventure travel and expedition cruise operator, manages 300+ contact center agents across six countries supporting once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences.
After deploying Verint Workforce Management in just one month, the group achieved a 30% improvement in SLAs and a 35% productivity gain, with mobile-first scheduling driving stronger engagement across their globally distributed workforce.

Seasonal booking periods, holidays, weather events, and service disruptions can create rapid shifts in demand that are difficult to manage with static schedules.
Peak booking periods, holiday seasons, weather events, and flight cancellations all break static schedules built on annual averages. Verint Workforce Management combines AI-powered forecasting with intraday optimization to help align staffing with changing. Forecasting models incorporate historical patterns and evolving demand signals, while intraday capabilities support ongoing schedule adjustments to maintain coverage as conditions change.
Hospitality contact centers often operate across regions, languages, and time zones, requiring coordinated workforce planning at scale.
Verint WFM supports multi-site, multi-skill, and multi-channel scheduling within a unified platform. Reporting can be aggregated across regions, brands, and business units, helping provide visibility into performance and capacity across global operations. Verint TimeFlex Bot adds flexibility at the agent level by enabling agents to make schedule changes within defined service and policy guardrails. This helps organizations adapt to changing demand patterns while balancing workforce preferences with operational requirements.
One bad experience can break a loyalty relationship that took years to build.
Verint Quality Automation evaluates up to 100% of guest interactions automatically rather than the manual 1–5% sample traditional QA depends on, helping to surface service-recovery opportunities and coaching needs before they show up in NPS or repeat-booking data. For hospitality organizations managing multiple brands, quality frameworks can be tailored within a single platform, helping enable consistent standards without requiring separate tools or manual segmentation.
Guests engage with hotels, airlines, and cruise operators across every channel, around the clock, often in the moments that matter most: a missed connection, a booking change, a problem on the ground.
Verint Intelligent Virtual Assistant delivers responsive, personalized support across every stage of the guest journey. From booking through check-out, to handling itinerary changes and booking updates autonomously, Verint IVA powers self-service around the clock, on whichever channel the guest chooses.
By resolving common requests without agent intervention, Verint IVA reduces the volume of interactions that require assisted support. Contact centers deflect routine demand while agents focus on the more complex, higher-value interactions where human judgment matters most.
Managing cost while maintaining service levels is a core operational challenge in hospitality environments.
Verint Copilot Bots handle the busywork (after-call summaries, booking updates, knowledge retrieval) so agents spend more of their shift focusing on the guest. By reducing manual effort, these capabilities help increase agent capacity and support more efficient use of existing resources.
Understanding guest sentiment at scale is critical to maintaining service quality and brand loyalty in hospitality environments.
Verint Genie Bot can help travel and hospitality brands use AI to analyze guest interactions, helping surface sentiment patterns, trending concerns, and potential service recovery opportunities across large volumes of conversations. By identifying relevant conversational signals, Genie Bot can help highlight where additional coaching or process improvements may be needed and route these insights into operational workflows, enabling organizations to respond more proactively to emerging trends.
