• Property information and destination details within the app.
• In-depth insights into visitor behaviour and revenue analysis.

"We are delighted to announce the launch of Chorum Mobile through our partnership with Fuel. The functionality to allow guests to check themselves in and out of their rooms, as well as request services, is very timely given the new standards travelers will look for as it relates to social distancing," said Jim Rowe, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Vertus Group. "With close to 1,000 hotels running Chorum PMS today, we look forward to this ongoing partnership with Fuel and the many benefits it will provide to our current base of clients."

Fuel's contactless solutions and mobile technology complements the functionality already available within Chorum PMS, which includes staff facing mobility solutions such as mobile manager and housekeeping, as well as staff facing mobile application. The collaborative agreement between he two software providers has afforded Vertus Group clients with the ability to implement a more contactless guest experience throughout their guest's stay. 

"We are excited to partner with Vertus Group to bring our revolutionary mobile app and digital key technology to Chorum's superb roster of hotels," said Stuart Butler, COO at Fuel. "Given guest's fears surrounding COVID-19 and the desire for more safety and reduced contact with staff, the contactless or reduced-contact functionality that this app provides will give these hotels a massive competitive advantage during recovery. In addition to that, the app will also help restore hotels' much-needed profitability by providing several opportunities for hotels to operate more efficiently and by driving more incremental revenue."
