Ireckonu will work with the Tokyo based luxury hotel firm to centralize all guest data among their entire property portfolio to create an accessible and actionable Customer Data Platform (CDP).

ONHM to take a fresh approach to their guest intimacy strategy by leveraging profiles and data in ways that will generate a more meaningful relationship between their hotels and valued guests.

After a thorough investigation of available solutions, we have determined that Ireckonu would be our strategic technology partner for our CDP project as they possess a credible track record of success with a strong focus on the hospitality sector and combines it with the functionality of a CDP to offer an efficient and proven solution specific to our industry. We favored their ability to connect and consolidate various information scattered across different systems within the company, providing a unique solution that is not commonly seen. We are confident that our chain will continue to grow as a hotel operator with Ireckonu through the delivery of "Omotenashi", our distinct art of hospitality beyond service and effective marketing. Kikuhiko Okura, Okura Nikko Hotel Management President & CEO

To provide the ONHM with a new digital foundation that will enable specific guest engagement innovations, Ireckonu will deploy their keystone products, CORE Middleware for platform agnostic systems integration, and IKnowU to consolidate all guest related information in a central System of Record (SoR). This will give ONHM a huge advantage over Hotel Groups that rely on siloed systems as Ireckonu works with them to unlock the full potential of their guest data and collects, cleans, and activates that data to power a range of features including:

• Guest Segmentation to create targeted lists based on aggregated transactional and profile data.
• RFM + and Loyalty calculation engine assigns values to guest profiles based on Recency, Frequency, Monetary, Duration, and Diversity to create up-sell opportunities.

It is an honor and makes us extremely proud to partner with ONHM. This most prestigious portfolio joins other global industry leading companies who are dedicated to being guest centric and do so by enabling solid technology architecture and data stream from multiple sources. This approach is the basis of their business processes and guest life cycle engagement. Jan Jaap van Roon, Ireckonu Founder & CEO
