Hotellerie Suisse

The Mission

Hotellerie Suisse is a competence center of the Swiss hotel and tourism industry and as an association represents the interests of its members nationally and internationally.

Since 1882 the 100 employees of Hotellerie Suisse – together with its 3000 members of which 2500 are hotel facilities – are aimed to guarantee and maintain high quality standards and future-proof concepts for the swiss Hotel and Boarding sector.

In order to simplify the management of visual content of all its members, Hotellerie Suisse introduced an image database system based on eyebase. Management of pictures, especially distributing unified content to different targets always has been a complex, elaborative and costly process for individual hotels. Hotellerie Suisse searched for an image database to be deployed to all members and thus very easy to use. On the other hand the large amount of data that finally will be distributed to many different websites also called for a performant system.

The Solution

eyebase could meet the requirements best and it only needed one extra module, the Uploader Plugin to provide for image upload and description functionality into the eyebase database via the regular Hotellerie Suisse website (top picture to the right).

Despite working on a regular website all pictures are stored in eyebase where image qualities as well as metadata are unified and translated automatically. Now all data about swiss hotels are standardised and can automatically be transferred to any target by the eyebase application.

The organisation itself can view data about all their members using the eyebase sysem in the backoffice.
