About
Duve is an all-in-one guest experience platform designed for modern hospitality operators including hotels, vacation rentals, and hostels. It replaces manual front-desk workflows with digital-first tools that streamline the entire guest journey — before, during, and after a stay. At its core, Duve offers online check-in that eliminates long queues and saves an average of 18 minutes per reservation. Guests interact through a personalized, white-label guest app (no download required) that provides directions, WiFi passwords, amenity information, digital room keys, and online check-out from a single interface. Duve's AI-powered upselling engine learns about guests through OTA data and guest profiles to offer timely, relevant upgrades and add-on services — generating an average uplift of $180 per room per month for hotels. The platform's Generative AI Agents handle multi-channel communication across WhatsApp, SMS, email, Airbnb, and other OTA platforms from a unified Communication Hub. Additional features include digital menus and mobile ordering for on-property F&B, mobile key access, hotel branding tools, room directories, and a robust analytics dashboard. Duve integrates with hundreds of PMS, channel managers, and OTA systems, making it suitable for properties of all sizes. It is an ideal solution for hospitality operators looking to reduce operational overhead, boost guest satisfaction scores, and unlock new revenue streams through intelligent automation.
