Kak Vidi explained that we need technology to make everything easier. One case in Bukit Vista as an example is load of bookings coming from different sources in different properties especially when peak season is happening. Without it, we would loose track of our own clients (guests) and bad reviews will show up.

But how do we keep the tools simple to use for everyone? Everyone means the guests and fellow partners in Bukit Vista. We called the app BV GO. It can monitor a property, check and update guests with transparency also automated.

He later showed the students a demo of the tools that Bukit Vista using, he pretend to make new settings by inputting some new codes to the system. The students which has Computer Science background was amazed on how ka Vidi did it.
