Circa and Amazon worked with cloud platform Hotel Genie to build and implement a private branch exchange support. This allows Circa to link ASP-supported devices with their existing phone systems for routing Alexa calls and supporting caller ID when guests and hotel staff conduct calls.

Circa is the first hospitality property to implement the ASP-supported feature with Hotel Genie’s voice bridge technology.

The Echo devices also enhance operations in departments such as housekeeping and maintenance, as requests are sent immediately to staff. Comprehensive reporting also provides insight on performance metrics, common requests, feature use and response times.

Alexa Smart Properties director Bram Duchovnay added: “Hotels know their guests, and Amazon provides new capabilities to help make the experiences they deliver more effortless and enjoyable. By adapting these tools to their specific brand needs, properties have a whole new way to differentiate themselves.”

Amazon’s key competitor in the market of hotel smart devices is Apple, whose Airplay technology has been deployed through LG Electronics on hotel TVs and in IHG Hotels and Resorts.
