The hospitality sector adopts video analytics: Olive Co-living onboards Staqu for JARVIS
This blog explores how the hospitality sector is leveraging remote video analytics technology to access 24×7 property monitoring and receive real-time alerts in case of any non-compliance to improve guest safety and business processes.
It comes as no surprise that as an industry expands steadily, digital technology also expands and frequently acts as a stimulus for the industry’s continued expansion. Deloitte’s 2019 Travel and Hospitality Outlook for the US market provides a concise explanation of the connection between digital transformation and the growth of this sector by stating that “Cognitive Insight permeates the travel space.” This entails utilizing digital technology to comprehend the context of the service and use it to prevent service interruptions, enhance client personalization, and more.
Many individuals are demanding greater security and health and safety standards where they lodge as a result of the lessons acquired from the pandemic. An annual growth rate (CAGR 2022–2026) of 10.8% is predicted for hotels, translating to a projected market volume of about $118 billion by 2026, according to a recent Statista analysis. In order to maintain their competitiveness, hotels and co-living spaces are encouraged to increase their facilities and invest in security systems and related services.
The benefits
Hospitality sector businesses find well-designed and strategically applied video systems a handy management tool since they provide video intelligence to business operators. The use of such technology becomes beneficial in many ways; specifically, it being cost saving. Businesses are now able to use fewer human resources and choose automated security, improving safety automation. Overall security, loss prevention, and risk management are intrinsically more effective due to the expanded visibility and control over all facets of their operations that increased video surveillance offers.
Hoteliers and co-living space operators have a competitive advantage over individuals renting out short-term rentals in their houses owing to effective video management and surveillance. In the latter cases, security is frequently nonexistent or, if it does exist, is likely rudimentary and unreliable. As a result, big business owners can effectively market and sell their video security systems as a differentiator for their establishment.
Aside from alerting managers if assets are taken from their property, intelligent video systems will also enable the swift detection and thorough documentation of potentially risky situations to aid in future investigations. Perhaps even more crucial is the ability of AI and video analytics to detect incidents before they occur, ensuring that employees and visitors feel safe wherever they are on the hotel grounds.
Following this, Olive Co-living has teamed up with Staqu to deploy our V-SaaS product JARVIS. The cutting-edge AI-powered video analytics tool JARVIS is dedicated to reducing human labor to a minimum while maximizing operational efficiency. Now that JARVIS is integrated with Olive Co-living, it can recognize and notify any intrusion in real time, alerting the appropriate stakeholders in the process. The same strategy will be used to detect overcrowding, cleaning/mopping emergencies, and acts of violence. Olive can now check whether or not all of their SOPS are followed by embedding JARVIS into already-existing CCTV, which enables Olive to offer hassle-free, seamless, and comfortable living spaces for its customers. Being able to manage their properties remotely is one of Olive’s goals, and JARVIS poses as the best solution for them in this regard.
