Guest Data Privacy & Security
Protecting guest information is a critical responsibility for hospitality businesses. Hotels and resorts collect sensitive personal data including credit card information, passport details, and medical requirements. CapturePoint provides secure document storage with encryption, access controls, and audit trails ensuring compliance with data protection regulations including GDPR and state privacy laws. Guest folios, identification copies, and reservation details are protected by granular permissions preventing unauthorized access.
Document retention policies vary by region, and CapturePoint's automated lifecycle management ensures sensitive guest documents are securely destroyed after retention periods expire, reducing liability and protecting guest privacy.
Hotel-Specific Use Cases
Multi-Location Property Management
Hotel chains with multiple properties benefit from centralized document management. CapturePoint allows corporate offices to manage documents across all locations while giving individual properties control over their operational records. Corporate can enforce consistent vendor management and compliance procedures while franchisees maintain local autonomy. Executive teams access real-time reports on invoice processing times, compliance document status, and operational efficiency across the entire portfolio.
Event & Meeting Services
Event venues and hotel catering departments manage complex contracts and documentation for conferences, weddings, and meetings. Each event generates proposals, signed contracts, banquet event orders (BEOs), floor plans, billing agreements, and post-event documentation. CapturePoint organizes all event materials by date, client name, and document type, enabling quick access during events and comprehensive records for revenue verification and client follow-up.
Restaurant & Food Service Operations
Restaurants and hotel food services require daily documentation of invoices from multiple vendors, temperature logs, food cost documentation, and inventory records. CapturePoint's rapid scanning and OCR capabilities enable receiving departments to process invoices on-site immediately, routing them for approval before goods are stored. This accelerates payment processing and improves vendor relationships through prompt payment.
