The Problem

DQuadrat Living grappled with an exhaustive task of addressing 400-500 reviews each month. This required the managerial team to dedicate approximately 33 hours monthly. The employees responsible for managing reviews experienced workload and stress, with significant distraction from their daily tasks.

The Solution

The implementation of MARA's AI Review Assistant transformed DQuadrat Living's review management process. Initially, MARA’s Copy & Paste Generator was launched in April 2023. The user-friendly nature of this system meant that no time was wasted on implementation. However, a full transition to MARA was not immediately possible due to the lack of connection with Booking.com.

But MARA’s team, known for their customer-centric development, quickly resolved this issue. As a result, MARA soon became the chosen reputation management system for DQuadrat Living.

1. Result: Massive Time and Cost Savings

By using MARA, DQuadrat Living was able to cut down the time spent on responding to reviews from 33 hours to just 6 hours each month. This led to substantial cost savings of 1100 EUR/month.

More impressively, with the AI's support, the first hotels of DQuadrat Living were able to reduce the time spent of the General Management to 0 hours, because the night audit team was now able to handle all reviews during their spare time. This not only streamlined review management but also led to fewer distractions in the daily business.

2. Increased Employee Satisfaction and Productivity

With the help of MARA, every employee is now able to answer reviews. This reduced workload and stress for staff managing reviews and ensured quick feedback for the guests. Responding to reviews became as easy as a single click.

The time saved allowed the staff to focus more on value-adding tasks, especially spending time with guests, enhancing their satisfaction and overall experience at DQuadrat Living.

The Experience

Moving to MARA's Inbox & Analytics in June 2024 was a hassle-free process for DQuadrat Living. The transition required only two emails and a single onboarding workshop. This system allowed for a more in-depth analysis of insights, helping DQuadrat Living to better understand their guests' needs and address their problems swiftly.
