The B Hotels Embraces SmartMat Cloud for Inventory Management

In a landmark move towards modernization, The B Hotels, operated by Ishin Hotels Group, has successfully implemented 100 units of SmartMat Cloud, an IoT-based inventory management solution, at its Ginza location. This innovative technology aims to optimize on-site inventory management processes, boost operational efficiency, and standardize workflows across the hotel chain, which spans 16 locations in six major cities nationwide.

The integration of SmartMat Cloud allows The B Hotels to handle complex inventory challenges with ease. The hotel chain has made it a priority to adapt to the diverse needs of both inbound and local guests by employing multicultural staff and implementing flexible work shifts. However, in inventory management, issues arose when responsible staff members were not present during delivery times, leading to fragmented information and reliance on individual knowledge.

With the introduction of SmartMat Cloud, inventory management is unified under a common set of rules, minimizing the risk of knowledge gaps among staff. The straightforward operation of the SmartMat Cloud drastically reduces training costs while enabling immediate deployment on-site. Guests and staff alike benefit from the solution's ability to visualize weight changes in real-time simply by placing items on the smart mats. This functionality not only automates accurate inventory visualization but also ensures timely reordering, significantly alleviating workload for hotel staff.

Enhancing Hotel Value through Digital Transformation

By automating inventory management, The B Hotels aims to not only relieve staff burdens but also enhance employee satisfaction. The integration of collected inventory data leads to optimal warehouse space utilization and new real estate value proposals that focus on maximizing building volume efficiency.

The use of SmartMat Cloud represents more than just operational efficiency; it’s seen as a digital transformation (DX) strategy that elevates the overall value of the hotel. The B Hotels is committed to expanding this technology across all its brands actively in the future.
