AI's value isn't just about flashy use cases. It's also about overcoming everyday friction points that haven't been solved yet. In frontline logistics, the biggest returns don't just come from the headline-grabbing, fully autonomous systems everyone talks about. They come from the unglamorous, tightly constrained problems that quietly drain planner hours, inflate cost, and wear down the people being moved.

AI has arrived in hospitality, and the industry is actively working out how to adopt and apply it. The ambition is broad, from automated rate decisions to fully autonomous commercial agents. But there's a structural question that will determine how successful AI adoption will be: is the hotel technology stack ready for AI to make joined-up commercial decisions? Most hotel systems were built to process specific process areas, so they're not designed to support the kind of complex cross-domain decisions that agentic AI needs to make. This fragmented systems landscape means considerable resources...
