Why the phone still matters in hospitality

Groups, travel agencies, older guests and travelers in a hurry still call to confirm dates or ask for a rate. When nobody answers at night or during a rush, that inquiry ends up on another channel or at another hotel.

Wenzy's voice agent answers the hotel number 24/7 and creates a contact for first-time callers, in the same conversation that later continues on WhatsApp.

What the agent does on a booking call

  1. 1Understands the requestDates, number of guests and room type, in Spanish, English or Portuguese.
  2. 2Checks the connected systemAvailability and rates from the hotel's PMS or channel manager.
  3. 3Quotes on the callPresents the options with the configured rate.
  4. 4Creates the bookingFrom the Standard plan, in the same system as WhatsApp bookings.
  5. 5Confirms in writingWith the guest's permission, sends a WhatsApp summary of what was agreed or an approved template.
  6. 6Transfers when neededThe front desk hears a summary before connecting while the guest hears hold music.

The same rules as the chat

The voice agent uses the same tools and knowledge base as the chat, with the features of your plan. A phone quote follows the configured rates, and changes and cancellations follow the same hotel rules as on WhatsApp.
