  • InnVest Hotels and Tailos Robotics Partner to Elevate Hospitality With Smart Automation

    [ad_1]


    TORONTO, ON AND AUSTIN, TX, April 15, 2025 (Newswire.com)
    –
    InnVest Hotels, one of Canada’s largest hotel owners and operators, has entered into a strategic partnership with Tailos Robotics, the Austin-based innovator in AI-powered cleaning solutions. Together, the companies are bringing smarter, more efficient, and people-first automation to InnVest’s portfolio of properties.

    This collaboration reflects InnVest’s deep commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences while supporting the team members who make them possible. As part of the partnership, Tailos’ robotic vacuum, Rosie, will be deployed across multiple InnVest hotels throughout 2025.

    The partnership follows an in-depth, two-year evaluation led by McLean Xavier, Chief Information Officer at InnVest Hotels. After testing multiple robotic solutions, InnVest selected Tailos as its preferred provider.

    “Normally, an evaluation process takes a bit less than two years, but for us, we wanted to make certain that the partner we chose would be one that we could rely on when we needed them most,” said McLean Xavier. “That means having access to the right person within the group with the right influence to deal with our challenges and respond to our changing needs.”

    “I found it very easy to interact and get responses from the Tailos team,” Xavier added. “They have been very accommodating to our needs. It also helps when the team that you are working with stays within all project goals, which Tailos did.”

    By integrating Rosie into daily operations, InnVest expects to clean more than 80 million square feet of carpet in the next 12 months. Beyond efficiency, Rosie also helps reduce physical strain on housekeeping staff by automating repetitive vacuuming tasks-addressing a well-documented source of wrist injuries in the hospitality industry.

    “Our partnership with InnVest Hotels exemplifies the powerful role robotics and AI can play in transforming hospitality operations-not merely from an efficiency standpoint but, importantly, by significantly improving employee well-being,” stated Micah Estis Green, CEO at Tailos Robotics. “Rosie empowers housekeeping teams, enabling them to focus energy on activities that truly enhance guest experience.”

    Together, InnVest and Tailos are demonstrating how thoughtful automation can drive both operational excellence and employee care-proving that better guest experiences start with better support for the teams behind them.

    ORLANDO, Fla., March 29, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Orlando-based Xpodigital, the full-service convention internet and display technology partner most trusted by hospitality and events professionals to deliver flawless digital experiences, has moved key management positions to Las Vegas as the first step in becoming the city’s first choice for fully-managed conference internet and digital signage solutions.

    Over the past decade, Xpodigital has cemented its customer-first reputation, delivering exceptional digital experiences and flawless internet and wifi for major hotel brands and marquee event properties across Central Florida, the theme park capital of the world. Xpodigital managed properties were the first to unveil innovative hybrid and remote convention services in 2020, adopt the latest cloud-based digital signage and LED wall technology, and leverage Xpodigital’s proprietary content management system (CMS) and patented text-to-screen capabilities.

    “For more than 20 years, Xpodigital has provided the best digital infrastructure and management services from our Orlando headquarters for some of the world’s largest and most prominent meetings, trade shows and business conference events in Las Vegas. Our goal going forward is not just to service individual events, but establish ourselves as a trusted local technology solutions partner with each of the venues on an ongoing basis,” said Xpodigital’s president, Gabe Gilligan. “The only way to do this right is with a significant local presence, and that’s what we’re committed to.”

    Increased digital reliance over the last two years has underscored the critical need for venues to provide clients with a strong internet backbone to support live and virtual events. Many conference venues have realized that their current technology infrastructure simply was not designed for the extraordinary demands of today’s in-person and hybrid events. Xpodigital is focused on helping event spaces in Las Vegas enhance their infrastructure and capabilities so they can host with confidence and deliver world-class digital experiences now and into the future.

    “Today’s events demand impressive digital displays and secure, reliable internet access. Xpodigital is now an active and ongoing part of the event solutions community in Las Vegas, and we can’t wait to help our clients create the absolute best experiences for their guests,” said Rich O’Brien, Xpodigital’s VP of Business Development.
