Picture a busy day in your hotel. Guests are checking in, the front desk is juggling calls, invoices are stacking up, menus need updating, and someone just asked about your eco-friendly practices. Teams are working hard, yet the pressure never seems to ease. As hoteliers, we know this scene well  and we also know it’s not just about keeping things running, but about creating a future where our operations are smarter, greener, and more guest-focused.

Challenges on the Path to Sustainability

Sustainability is no longer a choice; it’s a mandate, and the time has come. Guests expect it, regulators demand it, and costs make it unavoidable. Running paper-heavy processes, relying on outdated servers, or handling manual stock tracking is more than inconvenient, it holds back growth, impacts profitability, and puts your brand at odds with today’s expectations.

How Technology Supports Sustainability

This is where technology steps in, not as a replacement for hospitality, but as an enabler of it. Cloud-based platforms can eliminate the clutter of paper with digital check-ins and e-receipts, reduce waste with smarter inventory systems, and allow managers to monitor performance in real time, even when away from the property. For staff, this means less firefighting and more time to work together, creating an inclusive culture where every department is connected and updated instantly. For leadership, it means running operations that are leaner, faster, and aligned with the values guests expect from modern hospitality.

But let’s be clear: the goal is not technology for technology’s sake. The goal is to elevate guest experience, ensure seamless operations, and maximize revenue. Whether it’s a boutique hotel making its mark, an aspiring hotel group looking to expand, or a well-established chain managing multiple properties, the right digital foundation can be the difference between keeping up and leading the way.

This is where InnKey comes in. More than just a “cloud PMS,” InnKey unifies hotel operations on a single, enterprise-grade platform,  reservations, F&B, finance, procurement, and guest engagement, all connected and accessible anywhere. It’s proven at scale with leading hotel chains, yet agile enough for independent properties. Built with a mobile-first approach, InnKey empowers teams to work on tablets and smartphones, freeing hotels from printers, static terminals, and even the traditional front desk. Imagine a hotel where guests glide through check-in without queues, where no phones ring, yet every department stays informed in real time, and where operations feel invisible, but flawless.

 
And here is what sets InnKey apart: while many solutions promise the cloud, InnKey delivers security, scalability, and clarity. With the highest standards of data protection, open APIs for seamless integrations, and robust architecture, it gives hoteliers the confidence that their business is not just digitized, but future proofed. The hospitality industry doesn’t need to digitize the past. It needs to reinvent the future. The urgency is real, the opportunity is here, and the path is clear. It’s time to rethink hospitality and create sustainable hotels that truly last.

Spalba, the SaaS-enabled B2B venue marketplace, has signed more than 150 hotels in the first half of 2025, underlining the growing adoption of digital platforms in the MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) segment.

Nearly 40% of these signings came from contract renewals with existing partners, reflecting a healthy renewal rate of over 79%. Key renewals included properties such as The Oberoi New Delhi, Pullman Aerocity, Alila Diwa Goa, Leela Bhartiya City Bengaluru, and Heritage Village Manesar.

At the same time, Spalba has added new hotels across India and South Asia. These include prominent names such as Hilton Kathmandu, Leela Gandhinagar, Grand Hyatt Gurgaon, Grand Hyatt Mumbai, Fairmont Mumbai, and Aurika Udaipur.

The platform also reported a 300% increase in query volumes during the January–June period, crossing 1,500 compared to the same period last year. Most of these queries came from corporate buyers and planners looking to evaluate venues digitally before confirming bookings.

“Renewals from marquee hotels are the strongest signal that the platform is helping properties drive measurable event-led revenue,” said Naveen Gupta, Founder of Spalba. “Eliminating paperwork and reducing the need for repeated site visits have been major factors in increasing adoption.”

Alongside large hotel chains, boutique and independent properties are also joining Spalba. Recent sign-ups include Signature Club Resort, The Corinthians Resort, Cherish Ballroom Vasant Kunj, Neo Convention Hyderabad, Caravela Beach Resort Goa, The Club Mumbai, and India Expo Mart Ltd. Industry observers view this trend as smaller players turning to technology to compete with bigger brands for MICE business.

Spalba positions itself as a digital infrastructure layer for the hospitality sector. Its platform allows hotels to display real-time venue layouts, streamline RFP processes, and connect directly with corporate buyers. With MICE revenue becoming a central part of hotel growth, particularly in urban and resort markets, technology-led solutions are fast becoming essential.

Looking ahead, Spalba is preparing to expand into Southeast Asia, targeting markets like Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia where demand for digitised venue intelligence and planning tools is on the rise.
