The Challenge

Operational Bottlenecks

Aspen Resort Collective manages 12 luxury properties. During peak ski season, staffing shortages at one lodge would cause panic, even if a sister lodge five miles down the road was overstaffed.

General Managers had no visibility into the staffing pools of other properties. If a front desk agent called in sick, they would immediately start offering 2x overtime pay to anyone who would answer the phone, completely unaware that a cross-trained agent was clocked out and available nearby.

The Transformation

Before
  • Silos prevented staff sharing between nearby properties
  • Frequent reliance on double-time emergency pay
  • Guest complaints about understaffed amenities
After
  • Regional pods enable fluid staff movement
  • 99.4% shift coverage rate during peak season
  • +12 point jump in guest satisfaction
The Solution

Why StaffSchedule.io?

They needed a true 'Enterprise Roster'. StaffSchedule allowed them to group properties into regional pods, enabling staff to view and pick up shifts at multiple locations while automatically tracking their consolidated hours for payroll to prevent accidental overtime.

The Results

Measurable Business Impact

The cultural impact was profound. Staff enjoyed the variety of working at different properties and the opportunity to pick up extra hours without hitting a wall at their 'home' location.

Guest CSAT scores improved by 12 points because front desks and restaurants were consistently fully staffed, eliminating the long wait times that usually plagued the resorts during flu season.
