Design and creation of an upselling dashboard with SAP

Abstract

Aquest treball investiga la implementació dels sistemes de planificació de recursos empresarials coneguts com a ERP al sector hoteler centrant-se en l’increment d’ingressos mitjançant l’adopció de tècniques efectives en l’upselling. En concret, es pretén desenvolupar un projecte que involucra el disseny d’un Upselling Dashboard per a una coneguda companyia hotelera que opera a nivell mundial. La industria hotelera, caracteritzada per una natura competitiva i dinàmica, necessita l’adopció de solucions innovadores per incrementar l’eficiència en les seves operacions i alhora millorar l’experiència dels seus clients. En conseqüència, aquest projecte planteja l’estratègia dels omnicanals que té la intenció de crear una estructura que integri diversos canals en la implementació de les tècniques d’upselling, com per exemple, la metodologia online i la presencial, per poder brindar al client amb una experiència efectiva i fluida. La recerca engloba una revisió exhaustiva per comprendre les actuals tecnologies i funcionalitat dels ERP centrant-se en l’aplicabilitat que aquests tenen en el sector del turisme. A més, es presenten les característiques del software implementat, el qual és el de l’empresa SAP, i alhora, la interfície emprada en el desenvolupament del projecte coneguda com Fiori, també de la mateixa empresa. Finalment, per un aprofundiment en la qüestió de l’upselling, es va dur a terme un recull d’informació relacionada amb aquest camp en profunditat per tal de familiaritzar-se amb totes les qüestions que s’havien de contemplar en la execució del projecte. La fase de desenvolupament del projecte es centra en el disseny d’un prototip del dashboard i la posterior realització de tests requerits per verificar la seva robustesa. Aprofitant els coneixements obtinguts prèviament, els principis pel disseny i les especificacions tècniques requerides pel client es van definir. El dashboard està pensat per presentar de manera intuïtiva indicadors relacionals amb els progressos dels empleats, patrons en les despeses d’aquests o l’estat de l’inventari per tal que els empleats puguin millorar el seu rendiment en el camp de l’upselling i els clients obtinguin una experiència personalitzada. Finalment, aquesta tesi conclou que la implementació estratègica dels sistemes ERP facilita l’anàlisi d’informació en temps real i alhora permet presentar al client ofertes personalitzades i monitoritzar el progrés dels empleats en l’execució de la seva activitat. En concret, la creació del dashboard mitjançant SAP i Fiori brinda als hotels la oportunitat de gestionar de manera eficaç el camp de l’upselling i implementar les adequades per incrementar els ingressos totals del negoci. Per exemple, es pot aconseguir un enfoc cohesiu amb un omnicanal que integri diversos punts de contacte, com els canals en línia i fora de línia en l’àmbit del upselling.
