What is Access Evo? Access Evo is an AI-powered intelligence layer built on top of the STAAH platform. It transforms raw booking and operational data into decision-ready intelligence, through AI-powered insights, unified access, real-time alerts, and mobile connectivity. Your Channel Manager, Booking Engine, and ReviewMinder stay exactly as they are. Access Evo simply makes them smarter.
Hospitality has always been a people-centric industry. Yet behind every exceptional guest experience lies a complex network of processes, teams, and technologies working together to keep a hotel running smoothly.
Today, hoteliers across Asia Pacific face growing pressure from staffing challenges, rising operational costs, changing guest expectations, and increasing competition. At the same time, many continue to rely on disconnected systems that create inefficiencies and limit visibility across the business.
Research by STAAH and Access Hospitality, spanning 450 hospitality business leaders across Australia, India, and Indonesia found that the majority of APAC hoteliers waste up to 2 hours every day switching between systems or manually combining data. Hotels in India lose an average of 22 days per year. In Australia, hotels lose approximately 22 days annually, while hotels in Indonesia lose nearly 20 days each year.
Meanwhile, 15% of OPEX costs are wasted through unconnected systems, and 50% of business leaders say they frequently find errors or inconsistencies in the data they rely on to make decisions.
To succeed in this environment, hotels need more than standalone tools. They need a smarter, more connected way to operate.
That is what Access Evo was built to deliver.
What Is Access Evo?
Access Evo is the new intelligence layer that sits across STAAH products, transforming raw data into decision-ready intelligence through AI-powered insights, unified access, real-time alerts, and mobile connectivity.
It is not a replacement for what you already use. Your Channel Manager, Booking Engine, and ReviewMinder continue working exactly as they do today. Access Evo simply adds a smarter layer on top, bringing together AI-powered assistance, easier access, and decision-ready intelligence in one connected experience.
Think of it as the same STAAH you know and trust, with a sharper edge.
Why Do Hotel Operations Need to Evolve?
Hospitality operations have become increasingly complex. Departments work across multiple systems, data resides in different locations, and critical decisions require information from several sources. As a result, teams spend too much time managing processes and not enough time creating value.
The scale of the challenge across APAC is clear:
- Almost half of APAC hospitality businesses use between 5 and 10 software systems daily
- Hotels use an average of 9 systems and lose 103 more hours per year switching between them than F&B businesses
- 50% of business leaders frequently find errors or inconsistencies in their data
- 74% say real-time consolidated data would help them make faster decisions
- Operational inefficiencies can cost up to 20% of annual revenue per site
- 95% of APAC hospitality leaders agree that integrated technology could help scale their business
Modern hoteliers need greater operational visibility, faster decision-making, reduced manual workloads, improved team productivity, and more intelligent use of business data. Access Evo was built to address these challenges directly, starting with the STAAH platform you already rely on.
Five Capabilities Driving Smarter Hospitality
Access Evo brings five powerful capabilities to your STAAH platform, all within a connected experience designed to simplify day-to-day operations.
1) Copilot: Stop Digging. Start Asking.
Managing a hotel means constantly searching for answers across multiple reports, dashboards, and systems. Copilot changes that.
Ask any booking or performance question in plain, everyday language. The answer comes back in seconds with no manual reporting, no filters to set, no reports to run.
Example questions you can ask Copilot:
- “How many guests arrive this week?”
- “Which channel delivered the most revenue?”
- “What is my occupancy forecast for next month?”
- “What is my direct vs OTA booking mix?”
For general managers and revenue managers who need fast answers without the manual effort, Copilot is the shift from reactive reporting to instant intelligence.
2) Feed: Know the Moment It Matters
In a busy hotel, critical information gets missed. A booking change, a guest review, a payment issue, by the time it reaches the right person, it may already be too late.
Feed keeps your entire team on top of what matters, in real time. Stay across bookings, reviews, payments, cancellations, and operational alerts, all in one live feed. Catch it before the guest does.
Feed surfaces:
- New bookings and cancellations
- Booking insights and channel performance
- Guest reviews
- Operational alerts and notifications
- Package validity expiry alerts
- Promo code expiry notifications
- Smart Pricing validity and configuration alerts
- Team collaboration updates
No more switching between systems to piece together what is happening across your property. Feed brings it all together in one place.
3) Unified Access: One Login. Your View.
One of the most common frustrations for hotel teams is managing multiple logins across multiple systems. Every switch costs time. Every login is a barrier between your team and the information they need.
Unified Access gives every team member a single sign-on across all connected STAAH solutions. Each person sees the view that fits their role so the right information reaches the right people, faster.
No more unnecessary system switching. No more time lost to logging in and out. Just the information your team needs, exactly when they need it.
4) AI Review Response: Reply Faster. Every Time.
Online reviews directly influence booking decisions. Yet responding to every review across every OTA consistently and on-brand is time-consuming for already stretched hotel teams.
AI Review Response changes that. Every API-connected online travel agent (OTA) review gets a suggested, on-brand reply so responses are faster, more consistent, and always professional.
Your team stays in control. The AI does the heavy lifting. Guests get timely, thoughtful responses that reflect your property’s voice without your team spending hours crafting them manually.
5) Access Evo Mobile App: Your Property in Your Pocket
Hotel operations don’t stop when you step away from your desk. The Access Evo Mobile App puts live alerts and property updates in your pocket, so you can stay informed and take action from anywhere.
The old STAAH app is retired. The new Evo Mobile App replaces it with a smarter, more connected experience giving you real-time visibility into what is happening at your property, whenever and wherever you need it.
