Last Updated: October 21, 2022|Categories: Blog|Tags: , |2.2 min read|

2018 was a big year for Revinate and we wanted to share with you a look back at all that happened in those extraordinary 365 days. 

Last year, we made significant investments in product and engineering, hiring Jason Standiford as VP of Engineering and promoting Dan Hang from Chief Product Officer to President and Chief Operating Officer. The team hit a major milestone by moving all its products to Amazon Web Services, bringing exceptional global performance, security, scalability, and pace of innovation. The company also made an early and strong commitment to GDPR, building the necessary tools into its products as well as educating customers on the new policies.

Major updates were made to Revinate Guest Feedback, including Department Scores, Segmented Surveys, Survey Sentiment Analysis, and a refreshed mobile app to help hoteliers on the go. Enhancements to Revinate Marketing included the release of Database Insights, the Image Library, Guest Preferences, Advanced Upsell Reporting, and Benchmark Reporting. Finally, Revinate launched a full suite of group-level functionalities, empowering corporate marketing leaders to easily manage, measure, and optimize performance.

In 2018, Revinate announced a partnership with Duetto to enhance the power of Revinate Marketing. Now, joint customers can use Duetto’s platform and its Open Pricing application, GameChanger, to dynamically price upsells and upgrades driven through Revinate Marketing. The real-time pricing solution enables personalized offers to maximize conversion and revenue.

Finally, the company made leadership changes this year to recognize strong performance and better align the team with strategic objectives for 2019. In addition to the hiring of Standiford and promotion of Hang, Karen Stephens was promoted from VP of Customer Success to Chief Revenue Officer and Rani Croshal was promoted from Senior Director of Customer Success to VP of Customer Success. In addition, Kelly Robb was promoted from Senior Director of Marketing & Growth to VP of Marketing & Growth.

 Co-founder and CEO Marc Heyneker says, “In 2018, we continued to deliver on our promise of being first in the industry for innovation and customer service. I am thrilled with how we ended the year and am looking forward to another record-breaking year in 2019.”

Today, hoteliers in more than 135 countries use Revinate to manage guest feedback and guest marketing. They are supported by a global Customer Success team that provides 24/7 service and speaks more than 20 languages to provide the best support in the industry. This year customers ranked Revinate as the #1 CRM and Email Marketing Solution on Hotel Tech Report.

Serving the hospitality industry since 2009, we’re moving into our 10th year in a position of tremendous strength from both a company and product perspective, and we couldn’t be more excited about all the innovation and customer success that 2019 will bring.
