Great National Hotels

Platform Build

Background

Great National Hotels operate a group of hotel properties in Ireland and the U.K. They possess unique business intelligence centered around hotel room price optimisation. Great National saw an opportunity to develop a technology platform and deliver this intelligence to hotel operators across the globe as a cloud service. This new platform is called Revanista.

fourTheorem have a context-first approach and focus on delivering business value. We are experts in the hospitality industry but knew there was a massive opportunity to leverage the cloud and build a technology-enabled hotel price optimisation platform.

A key part of our vision was the capability to leverage AI and Machine Learning. This is where fourTheorem win hands-down. They combine a deep understanding built up over decades of experience in software with a sixth sense for where technology is headed. This depth of understanding combined with their extensive knowledge of AI, serverless microservices and cloud architecture, quickly advanced the development of a major new part of our business.

The Challenge

  • Great National had business intelligence but no internal technology expertise
  • Needed a partner that had expertise to leverage AI

The Solution

  • Built and deployed serverless solution  on AWS
  • Interviewed candidates and built a development team within Great National
  • Full handover to internal team with ongoing development/architecture guidance and mentorship from fourTheorem

 

The Outcome

Scalability

Serverless technology is massively scalable and ready for future growth
