THE COMPANY

A 50-year retailer operating at real scale.

Ventura Malta runs retail, distribution and logistics across around 50 stores in Malta and Gozo, serving a network of over 100 B2B partners. With five decades of experience behind them, they were one of OneAvant's very first customers, and the relationship has grown over several years.

At that scale, the hardest part isn't selling. It's keeping one accurate price in front of everyone, every store, every salesperson, every distributor, all at once, without a storm of phone calls.

THE CHATLLENGE

Every price change meant a wave of phone calls.

Across 50 stores and 100+ B2B partners, pricing was a constant bottleneck. Distributors phoned in for current prices. Salespeople chased their managers for information before they could quote. Updates travelled slowly, and every delay was a chance for the wrong price to reach a customer. It was a manual overhead that grew with every new partner.

WHAT THEY WOULDN'T ACCEPT

Technology that gets in the way of service

Buying core features as separate add-ons

Waiting until arrival to learn a guest's needs

A tool that helps the team but not the guest

WHAT THEY CHOOSE ONEAVANT FOR

One system that serves guests and team alike

Communication with guests before they arrive

Greater functionality, add-ons included

Technology that enhances traditional service

THE SOLUTION

One platform, from the price list to the online order.

Ventura runs a focused OneAvant stack that removed the manual overhead at each step. Here is how the work moves now.

BEFORE ARRIVAL

Knowing the guest before they walk in

What excited Iniala most was the ability to communicate with guests even before they arrive, so the team can quickly understand what each guest wants and needs right from the start, and prepare for it.

DURING THE STAY

A 24-hour service value

Better technology and communication let Iniala offer a round-the-clock service value that genuinely enhances the guest experience, without adding load to the team, so attentiveness scales with the property rather than against it.

FOR THE TEAM

Easier work, better service

The same system that enriches the guest journey also makes things more efficient and easier for the team. It was chosen precisely because it works for both sides at once, rather than trading one off against the other.

UNTIL THE NEXT STAY

A relationship that carries forward

Because the guest is understood and remembered across the whole journey, the experience doesn't end at checkout. The groundwork laid before arrival and during the stay carries through to the next one.

Pre-arrival to next stay

Pre-arrival to next stay

What we were most looking forward to was improving guest experience and communication, and creating a 24-hour service value through better technology that really enhances the guest experience. What excited us most was the ability to communicate with guests even before they arrive, so we can quickly understand what they want right from the start.
