As Scandic continues to witness a growing demand for meetings, the company has introduced a fully digital booking service for meetings and conferences for up to 30 people on its website. The new online booking feature has been developed in cooperation with Finnish hospitality SaaS (software as a service) company MeetingPackage, an omni-channel sales automation software for meeting, conference and event bookings.
The booking service has been integrated as a natural part of Scandic’s website, with both booking and payment managed in the hotel operator’s regular booking system. The service has been launched at 50 hotels in the Nordic region. By the end of the first quarter of 2022, all 195 hotels offering meeting and conference facilities in the Nordic countries, Germany and Poland will be available for direct booking online.
“We’re seeing greater demand for digital self-service solutions in our Nordic markets, which is why we’re introducing a digital booking service for smaller meetings on short notice. This is a much-anticipated feature for anyone who wants to schedule and hold meetings on short notice, regardless of where they are in the Nordic region,” says Anna Spjuth, chief commercial officer at Scandic Hotels Group, in a press release.
During the past 19 months, the rate of digitalization has accelerated rapidly, placing new demands on how people want to manage their working hours. The need for digital self-service and flexible meetings is on the rise and to satisfy this demand, Scandic is launching the possibility to book meeting and conference rooms for up to 30 people directly on its website. The digital booking service provides an overview of all Scandic hotels that offer meeting facilities. This makes it easy for meeting planners to choose the venue, number of participants and the length of the meeting, from two hours to a half or full day.
