Bissell Manages Guest Internet Touchpoints with Centralized Management Platform
To enhance the guest experience through dynamic bandwidth optimization and billing capabilities, the Charlotte, N.C.-based real estate company, The Bissell Companies is implementing Eleven’s centralized guest Internet management platform at both Aloft Charlotte Ballantyne and The Ballantyne Hotel & Lodge. Both properties have been Eleven customers for several years with Eleven guest computers in their business centers. Today, their management company, Bissell, is expanding its use of the Eleven platform to include managing guest Internet in the lobby, business center, meeting and guest rooms – all run on a single, cloud-based platform.
Eleven gives Bissell the tools it needs to create customized, responsive Internet portals, manage device and bandwidth controls, provision group access, and more. Bissell selected Eleven because of its sophisticated features and Eleven’s proven, 24/7 hospitality-centric support. As an owner and operator of multiple hotels in the Charlotte area, Bissell understands that dependable Wi-Fi is nothing short of a necessity – like running water or electricity - especially when operating a 2,000-acre master planned community like Ballantyne, in the heart of south Charlotte.
“We provide guests with free basic Wi-Fi because it’s a contemporary amenity that they expect,” said Ted Mueller, CIO and vice president of operations at Bissell. “The Eleven platform offers of our teams an intuitive dashboard to create customized experiences for guests in our rooms and meeting spaces. With Eleven guests can have exactly what they want – whether it’s options for traditional in-room bandwidth, or a custom SSID and landing page for a meeting planner and their group. We are excited to expand our technology partnership with Eleven; its proven track record of providing exceptional support to our properties and guests makes Eleven the clear choice.”
