Ariane Systems, a leader in self-service check-in/check-out kiosk technology for the hospitality industry, announced the selection of Plan A Public Relations & Marketing Inc. to manage its global marketing and communications initiatives. Plan A will be responsible for increasing exposure and building brand recognition for Ariane.
Since its inception in 1998, Ariane Systems has installed more than 1,600 self-service kiosks at hotel properties in 20 countries. Many of the world's largest hotel groups currently utilize Ariane's electronic kiosk solutions to streamline the check-in/out process, including Accor, B&B, Choice Hotels, Fasthotel, InterContinental Hotels Group and Louvre Hotels (Starwood Capital), among others.
Laurent Cardot, CEO of Ariane, headed up the Hotel Technology Next Generation (HTNG) kiosk workgroup that led to the first standard release of a fully integrated PMS–kiosk interface. As a Micros-certified supplier, Ariane's Allegro check-in/check-out kiosk solution was the first to integrate with many of the world's most popular property management systems, payment systems, locking system suppliers and other hotel technologies.
