The MEININGER Hotel Group, a key-player in the hybrid hotel sector headquartered in Germany, spans 11 European countries. With nearly 1,100 dedicated employees, MEININGER has redefined accommodation by seamlessly blending hotel service and comfort with the relaxed affordability of a hostel.
Expanding impressively, the company aims to extend its presence in both existing and new countries. Recognizing the need for continuous improvement, MEININGER Hotels has embarked on an IT transformation, leveraging the latest cloud business applications.
At the core of this transformation is the decision to shift from Microsoft Dynamics AX2012R3 to the latest Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. More than a routine IT update, this move strategically propels MEININGER Hotels into an era of efficiency and innovation. Dynamics 365 allows seamless technology scaling with business growth, ensuring intuitive and intelligent ERP for MEININGER.
Intwo is playing a pivotal role in the modernization of our technology and business landscape, and the upgrade to Dynamics 365 is central to that strong effort. I believe Dynamics 365 is a future-proof platform for MEININGER Hotels, with continuous updates of functionality, predictive and generative AI capability, and technological scale, based on Microsoft’s hyperscale platform abilities. Intwo is also engaging with us in a structured manner to continuously improve our automation; this is achieved by bringing a design-thinking mindset, best practices, and most importantly, proactively consulting us about the latest in Dynamics365 to ensure that we succeed together.
The primary goal of this upgrade is to enhance operational efficiency across all business facets. By migrating to Dynamics 365, MEININGER aims to streamline financial processes, optimize procurement, and elevate employee engagement and HR operations. This not only improves internal operations but also fosters improved supplier collaboration and a seamless guest experience.
The company’s commitment to this IT transformation is about preparing for a future of even greater expansion. As they grow rapidly, both in existing markets and new countries, a robust IT infrastructure becomes paramount. Dynamics 365 serves as the foundation for MEININGER Hotels to build and scale operations efficiently, leading to improved processes and automation, along with enhanced analytics and predictive capabilities through Dynamics 365 Co-pilot.
Beyond system upgrades, MEININGER focuses on redeveloping integrations with third-party solutions and making strategic enhancements. This holistic approach ensures elevated experiences for every employee, supplier, and guest.
Central to MEININGER Hotels’ vision is a commitment to guests. The IT transformation isn’t just about back-end systems; it’s about ensuring every guest enjoys a seamless, convenient, and memorable stay. From booking to check-out, MEININGER Hotels is determined to create exceptional experiences, where an efficient back office plays a crucial role in delivering outstanding customer experiences.
In the dynamic hospitality industry, innovation and adaptability are key. MEININGER Hotels views its IT transformation as an opportunity to stay at the forefront of the market. By embracing cutting-edge technology and modernizing systems, they position themselves for sustained success.
