How outsourcing your low voltage service and maintenance can affect your bottom line.

Covid has taken a bite out of most industries. Manufacturing is down, travel is down, people are working from home and YOU own a hotel… With everything going on in the world, the big question is how to keep going, attract new clientele and make money while still providing the services guests need while travelling.

One of the easiest ways to affect the bottom line is limiting employee hours or eliminating positions (layoff or furlough) which benefits neither the employee, the guests or we as employers. It is difficult to keep morale high when employees see someone with 15 / 20 / 25 years of experience (and a higher salary) being let go… by letting them go, it becomes more difficult to keep the same standard of service for guests as you are losing someone with years of experience that can anticipate guest needs.

One of the most overlooked areas which can affect monthly / quarterly / yearly budgets is maintenance. For example, when a door lock or security system is not functioning, you are losing revenue and / or the ability to safeguard your guests and employees. Everyone wants to work or stay in a safe environment and have a disruption free experience.

Most owners and operators agree, maintaining the bottom line affects the mood of employees and travelers alike. The more money in the budget and the more accurate the budget, the easier it is to forecast and plan amenities. Outsourcing the service and maintenance of three low voltage systems (door locks, phone system and security system) helps with forecasting, employee salary expense and even the guesstimate that is monthly emergency service calls.

An ‘On-Demand’ Service Company (like LV Tech) moves the ball back into your court and helps you take more control over your budget and helps raise the bar with providing exceptional guest experience.
