AI & Automation Lead · Inhouse Digitalisation

Twelve years running operations, the last three owning digitalisation end to end.

I put AI and automation into live operations and keep them running there. Hospitality, serviced housing and commercial real estate: P&L, teams and department heads, hands-on with hotel PMS since 2018 (Fidelio/Opera, TravelLine, Bnovo, Beds24, Guesty). Since late 2023 I build and run the AI-powered operations platform of a German accommodation operator. Not pilot projects: it runs bookings, invoices and cleaning every working day.

The flagship · live in production

Eight systems. One interface.

The system runs a live business, so the code and the screens stay behind a company login. What I can show is the decisions: what we evaluated, what I built instead, and where a human still has to sign off.

One interface

Everything the team touches, behind a single login.

The problem

A German accommodation operator in a turnaround. Bookings, invoices, payments, cleaning and guest messages each lived in a separate tool, and none of them talked to the others. Quotes for a commercial property-management system came to about €60,000 a year — for software that still would not have matched how the business actually worked.

What I built

An in-house platform for web and Telegram, instead of the licence. It joins eight external systems — channel manager, accounting, banking, telephony, messaging, Google Workspace — behind a single login. I own the spec, the architecture and the deployment, and it runs in the EU region.

What it does now
  • Cleaning and crew logistics: about two hours down to ten minutes. Scheduling a day of cleanings and routing the crews was manual work across two tools. Bookings and cleanings now live on one calendar, assigned and rescheduled by drag and drop.
  • A large group booking with its invoices: about an hour down to three to five minutes. Dates and units are entered once, the client gets a branded offer page, and one click creates the booking and raises the draft invoices.
  • A single quote: about ten minutes down to one or two. The offer page is generated from the same data, so nothing is retyped.
  • Two people run what once took a much larger team. Bookings, invoicing, payment control, cleaning, maintenance and quotes all run on this platform every working day.
Where a human signs off

An AI assistant operates the booking system through an integration server I built: preview and confirmation before every write, typed confirmation for the risky ones, an audit log underneath. Anything that touches money or a guest is drafted by the machine and signed off by a person.
