The challenge

Things move quickly in the hospitality industry. As a software provider, Stardekk must offer solutions that simplify processes and deliver great customer experiences.

A big challenge for Stardekk was payments. Hotels and B&B guests have varying payment preferences, whether that's when they pay or the methods they use. So, Stardekk needs to help hospitality businesses offer every customer a personalised and flexible payment experience. That includes offering both online and in-person payments, as well as the ability to take a payment and capture the funds at a later date.

Stardekk also needs to help users make the back-end functions of managing their payments and finances – charging additional expenses, exporting reports and reconciling transactions, for example – as effortless as possible.

"Payments are vital to our success,” explains Niels Vanden Buverie, Stardekk’s Chief Commercial Officer (CCO). “Now, travellers are more demanding than ever and guest experience is everything. Hotels and B&Bs therefore need to offer a seamless payment experience across the entire customer journey – from when their guests book until after their stay. Our customers must offer flexibility at every stage so their guests can enjoy their stay without worrying about the payment. 

“Since the introduction of PSD2 in 2019, things have shifted on other levels as well. Plus, the hospitality industry is notoriously prone to fraud, chargebacks, no-shows, and late cancellations. In other words, a secure online payment process has become vital to comply with new regulations and guarantee payments."

Stardekk aims to help their users – hotels and B&Bs – provide delightful guest experiences. But they also want to offer their own users a great experience. A vital part of that is the onboarding process. Stardekk wants to make it easy and intuitive for businesses to set up and start using their solutions. They also want to remain compliant and speed up customer onboarding by building regulatory processes, such as 'know your customer' and compliance checks, into the onboarding flow.

"Automating or simplifying processes is really important for our customers and our business,” Niels says. “So, we need a solution that makes daily administrative tasks as easy as possible to save time and resources."
