GOeureka's vision

GO has a plan to create an online ecosystem where businesses grow by offering the best services to tourists. As a technology partner for the hotel industry, GO will offer applications and web experiences that are simple and direct to users without high commissions on most sites. By freeing up resources for hotels, GO will enable them to offer better value and customer service with their resources.

Benefits of GOeureka

This project is based on blockchain technology that can be relied upon to store user data in the system. It is almost impossible to hack because data is stored on distributed network nodes. Thanks to KYS registration, a traveler is protected from fraud - only real hotels can register on GOeureka.

Hotel Services

Upon check-in, authentication tokens will be sent to GOeureka’s hotel CMS and guests will be matchmade with the hotel they have checked into once tokens are authenticated in the backend. Hotels and guests will have direct access to each other and will be able to communicate for the duration of the stay. Guests will be entitled to the aforementioned hotel services, depending on what hotels make available.

Check-in & Check-out

As consumer data will be shared between GOeureka and hotels, the consumers will have a seamless check-in experience during their stay. Upon registration, GOeureka collects personal identifiable information, which will be encrypted and stored off-chain. This information will be used to facilitate the check-in process since users are already authenticated on the GOeureka platform. Unique identifiers will be matched with data from the hotel’s central reservation system and consumers are able to check-in directly on the mobile app. The check-in experience will consist of 3 simple steps:

1. Select booking (reservation for the day)

2. Fill up optional information (hotels may request additional information to cater and personalize the consumers stay – e.g. Room upgrade, Types of pillow)

3. Check-in to room

Check-in requests will be automatically approved as long as certain prerequisites like the check-in time or booking deposit are fulfilled.

Guests may check-out of their stay through a similar process, but will be redirected to the payment page, where they may choose from GOeureka’s various payment methods to settle their vacation bill:

1. Check-out of stay

2. Fill up check-out form (hotels may ask if guests have minibar consumption, guests may approve additional charges from in-room dining, etc.)

3. Redirect to payment page

Loyalty Programmes

Hotel loyalty programmes will be integrated into the GOeureka platform, where travellers may earn loyalty points from the hotels they have booked. Necessary APIs will be provided for hotels to link their loyalty database with GOeureka. This will help facilitate the interoperable loyalty points detailed in GOeureka’s official whitepaper. GOeureka will send and retrieve data from the hotel’s database to provide real-time updates for users to track their points and for hotels to track points that users have redeemed with GOeureka. Research shows that 70% of customers do not sign up for a loyalty programme due to inconvenience and time costs associated with registering for a programme . With GOeureka, 1 registration for a loyalty programme is processed and verified in the backend. Customers will only be required to fill up an online registration form or, if they are already registered loyalty members, they only need to provide their pre-registered details (e.g. member ID) and the platform will link and display their loyalty details.
