After considerable industry wide research, Accor hotels has chosen MeetingMatrix International, Inc. to provide its new Pullman brand of hotels with ground-breaking web based tools allowing meeting professionals the ability to create dynamic online diagrams of events they wish to host at Pullman hotels. Developed by MeetingMatrix International by skillfully combining two of their web products – Planview.NET and ActiveMatrix.NET, Pullman will be the first entire hotel group in the world to provide clients the benefit of creating scaled accurate diagrams of events, as well as, producing a 3D image of what their potential event will look like.
Starting with a general property overview, visitor’s to the hotel’s website will be able to navigate stacked floor plans of the hotel’s facilities and see digital images and descriptions of key areas such as the lobby, restaurants, bars and meeting rooms. Planners will be able to click on a specific meeting room to get capacity details and use the innovative room diagramming tool to create an event setup. These diagrams are accurately scaled and the setups can be easily amended, saved, printed and e-mailed from within the application. Not only can a detailed plan be created, but also a 3D image showing how the event setup looks in virtual reality can be created.
Vincent Roux, Director of Sales Programs Meeting and Incentives for Accor Hospitality said “MeetingMatrix will provide our clients with instant online accurate drawings of their events with a multitude of options in every detail. For example, if a client wants to see what a particular room looks like set up for a meeting or special event, they will be able to use the online tool to do this in seconds, and with a high level of accuracy. Combined with actual 3D views of the event our clients will know exactly what Pullman can provide for them.”
Jmichaele Keller, MeetingMatrix International’s President and CEO commented, “We are truly delighted to be working with Pullman hotels. We believe the true value of our software is the communication that MeetingMatrix™ enables between Pullman hotels and their customers, providing them with a real competitive advantage.”
MeetingMatrix International Inc. is also currently developing room diagramming tools to be used by other Accor Hospitality brands.
