Proven Expertise for a Demanding Sector

At Augos, we have a deep and enduring commitment to the hospitality industry. Our experience spans diverse properties and challenging operational environments across the Caribbean, the Middle East, the Indian Ocean, and Africa. From iconic luxury resorts and bustling city centre hotels to remote safari lodges, vibrant casinos, and complex mixed-use developments, we understand the unique pressures and high standards inherent in this demanding sector. While each property type has its nuances, a common thread unites them: the critical need for operational intelligence, efficiency, and unwavering reliability to deliver exceptional guest experiences while managing costs effectively. Augos provides the data-driven solutions to meet these needs.

Understanding Hospitality's Unique Demands

We recognise that hotel operators constantly perform a balancing act. You must deliver flawless guest comfort and service, meet ever-increasing sustainability expectations, adhere to stringent safety and compliance regulations, manage complex facilities, and control operational costs – all within a highly competitive market. Whether ensuring consistent air conditioning in a tropical resort, managing intricate utility billing in a mixed-use property with retail and residences, optimising energy use in remote off-grid lodges, or ensuring water safety compliance in a city hotel, the challenges are significant and require sophisticated solutions.

Augos' Core Strength: Granular Visibility & Reliable Data

The foundation of effective management in any hospitality setting is understanding precisely what is happening within your operations. Augos delivers this foundational layer through:

• Precision Measurement: We deploy accurate, reliable metering and sub-metering technology to capture granular, real-time data on key utility consumption: electricity, water, gas, and thermal energy (heating/cooling). We also monitor critical operational parameters like temperature across diverse points.
• Data Integrity: We know that decisions based on data demand trust. Our platform includes monitoring the health and connectivity of our own measurement devices, ensuring the insights you receive are built upon consistently accurate and reliable information.

Tailored Solutions for Hospitality's Diverse Challenges

Leveraging this core strength, Augos provides targeted solutions addressing the key challenges faced by hotel operators, informed by our extensive sector experience:

• Optimising Efficiency & Controlling Costs: We help you look beyond simple occupancy metrics to tackle significant baseload energy waste. Our data enables optimisation of major consumers like HVAC plants, identifies electrical inefficiencies like poor Power Factor, facilitates smart demand management based on complex regional tariffs, and even includes tools to verify the accuracy of your utility bills.
• Ensuring Reliability & Guest Satisfaction: We focus on proactive prevention over reactive repairs. Augos' continuous monitoring and intelligent Smart Triggers provide early warnings of deviations in critical systems: power distribution, water pumps, boilers, chillers, temperature controls. This allows your teams to intervene before a failure impacts guest comfort, preventing complaints about inconsistent room temperatures, lack of hot water, or power issues.
• Enabling Smart Management & Accountability: We believe data empowers better management structures. Augos provides the clear, departmental consumption data needed to foster accountability among managers (F&B, Rooms, Spa etc.) aligning responsibility with control. Our data can also enrich insights from your existing PMS, BMS, or CMMS systems, creating a more holistic operational view.
• Mastering Complex Operations: Modern properties often involve intricate operational setups. Augos has proven experience in managing utility allocation and billing for concessionaires, retail outlets, and residential units within mixed-use developments. Our adaptable platform handles complex scenarios like allocating costs from shared central plants (e.g. chilled water across multiple sites) or managing dynamic energy costs related to grid instability and generator usage, factoring in specific local tariff rules.
• Supporting Compliance & ESG Goals: We provide the verifiable, auditable data essential for credible ESG reporting, enabling accurate calculation of carbon footprints (Scope 1 & 2) and key intensity metrics. Furthermore, our automated temperature monitoring and logging capabilities provide robust support for critical water safety compliance programmes, such as Legionella risk management.
