Affixify Case Study: How Mimslyn Inn Got to the Right Technology 

Mimslyn Inn is a small, independent property, charming by design, nimble by necessity. But its distribution setup was anything but nimble. The inn was locked into an enterprise-level system through a soft-brand relationship, and the cost and complexity that came with it just didn't fit the property's scale. Affixify was leveraged to handle the research of finding a better technology fit, and it paid off.

Affixify Partner Industry Expert Series: Edition Four | The Hotelier's CRM & CDP Playbook

Most hotels have more guest data than they know what to do with. The challenge isn't getting more of it, it's making what you already have actually useful. From the cleanliness of the underlying records to the way campaigns reach (or don't reach) the inbox and the guest, there's a lot that happens between "we have a CRM" and "our data is working for us."

Affixify Partner Industry Expert Series: Edition Three | The Hotelier's Sales & Catering Playbook

Affixify is thrilled to collaborate with the partners shaping how hotels win and manage group business, from the tools that help sales teams generate better leads and close faster, to the platforms that run Sales & Catering operations day to day and keep planners coming back.

Great group performance doesn't start and end with a single system …it's the result of the right processes, the right data, and the right technology working together across the entire sales cycle. We're grateful to the partners who showed up for this series and shared their expertise so generously.

What Actually Makes a Hotel Tech Partnership Last

Every vendor will tell you they're a partner, not just a vendor. They'll say it in the demo. They'll say it in the proposal. They'll say it with a very confident handshake.

And then you sign the contract, and you find out what they actually meant.

The partnerships that stick, the ones where operators renew without a second thought and refer vendors to their colleagues, don't look like the sales pitch described. They look a lot more boring than that. They look like a support email that gets answered. A rep who shows up when something goes sideways. A vendor who still knows your name two years after go-live.

The Budget Isn't the Problem. The Data Is.

Budgeting season is here, and if your finance team is already dreading it, you're not alone. Every fall, hotel finance teams across the industry go through the same ritual: pulling numbers from five different systems, stitching them together in a spreadsheet, and building a plan that starts going stale the moment it's approved.

Why Hotel Sales Teams Fail (And Why It's Almost Never About Talent)

Here, we recap a conversation centered on a question that comes up constantly in hospitality leadership circles: why do hotel sales efforts stall out, even with talented people in the seats? Amy's Infante answer, refined over years of working with brands, management companies, and individual properties, is consistent: it's rarely a talent problem. It's a systems problem. Read more here.

Affixify is thrilled to collaborate with our incredible PMS partners to shine a light on what's possible with today's property management tools.

Behind Every Search: How Affixify's Comparison Dashboard Takes the Guesswork Out of Vendor Selection

Searching for hotel technology used to mean spreadsheets, scattered notes, and a dozen open browser tabs trying to remember which vendor said what on which call. At Affixify, we built something better: a personalized comparison dashboard that does the heavy lifting for you, every single time you search.
