The Challenge: Outdated Systems Holding Back Growth

Stoney Creek Hotels is a Midwest-based hotel group operating 12 properties, where they are known for their warm, rustic ambiance and exceptional guest experiences. Their venues host a variety of events, from weddings and conferences to local community gatherings, that require consistent coordination across multiple locations.

Before Tripleseat, Stoney Creek relied on an outdated legacy system that couldn’t support their growing needs. Manual processes, limited visibility, and fragmented reporting made it challenging for their teams to deliver the seamless guest experience they were known for.

As Stoney Creek expanded, their existing technology created operational bottlenecks. Instead of helping streamline event management, it slowed teams down, reduced lead visibility, and made reporting tedious.

Legacy Technology Limitations

Their previous system lacked the flexibility and automation required to manage multiple venues. Data had to be entered manually, causing inconsistencies and wasted time.

Inefficient Lead Generation

The old system provided little support for capturing and tracking event leads effectively. With each property handling inquiries differently, the sales pipeline became difficult to manage.

Limited Reporting Capabilities

Leadership lacked a clear view of performance metrics. Without easy access to real-time data, decisions were often based on outdated reports rather than actionable insights.

Why Stoney Creek Hotels Chose Tripleseat

The team at Stoney Creek Hotels knew that technology plays an important role in streamlining processes and creating a positive guest experience. When evaluating new platforms, Stoney Creek sought a partner that understood hospitality inside and out. They wanted technology that was purpose-built for hotels and event spaces, not a generic customer relationship management (CRM) retrofit.

After comparing several options, Tripleseat stood out for its intuitive design, centralized reporting, and proven results within the hospitality industry. The team recognized that Tripleseat could unify their venues, simplify communication, and elevate the overall guest experience.
