Travelodge (UK) has deployed the full suite of Medallia’s experience management platform – implementing a combination of data analytics, artificial intelligence, and active listening. The platform also offers real-time integration with Travelodge’s social channels and review sites, such as Tripadvisor and Google Reviews, as well as its hotel management tools, allowing it to cross-check customer feedback with quality processes such as room checks. Medallia’s platform provides Travelodge with a comprehensive view into the customer voice across all channels in real-time, allowing its hotel managers and leadership team to proactively identify early warning signals.

The new programme will enable Travelodge to secure increased customer feedback through ‘in-the-moment’ surveys. The 10,000 customer surveys completed each week, alongside the weekly, monthly and quarterly reports generated by Medallia, will deliver actionable insights at scale, allowing its hotel managers and leadership team to track performance results against targets. This will drive quicker decisions and quality improvements to service across the brand’s entire hotel footprint.
