Our Deep Expertise

A sommelier doesn’t just know wine. They’ve spent years developing discernment, learning to recognize what’s exceptional versus what’s merely adequate, understanding why certain combinations create magic while others fall flat. That kind of expertise isn’t downloaded or purchased. It’s earned through thousands of decisions, some brilliant and some painful, across decades of practice.

Transformation in Luxury Hospitality Works the Same Way.

We’ve spent 25+ years inside complex digital transformation programs for Fortune and enterprise level companies. We’ve learned what actually works versus what vendors promise. We know when enterprise best practices translate directly to hospitality and when the industry’s unique complexity demands a different approach. Most importantly, we’ve developed the judgment to tell the difference.

Artificial Intelligence

Most AI in hospitality fails because it's deployed without foundation. We take a different approach: knowledge base architecture that makes AI actually work, deployed strategically across guest and team experiences. Build once, deploy everywhere.

Guest Experience

Luxury hospitality is built on human connection. AI amplifies it. Unified guest profiles, insights delivered at the right moment, continuity across every touchpoint. Your team creates the magic. AI provides the context that makes magic possible.

Agentic Commerce

Guests are searching with AI. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and other AI engines are becoming the front door to travel decisions. Traditional SEO doesn't make you visible here. Structured data and AI Engine Optimization does. Be found where guests actually search.

Visibility & Discovery

Guests are searching with AI. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and other AI engines are becoming the front door to travel decisions. Traditional SEO doesn't make you visible here. Structured data and AI Engine Optimization does. Be found where guests actually search.

Data & Technology Architecture

Most properties have it backwards: PMS at the center, data in silos, every initiative requiring custom work. Modern architecture puts your data at the center, connects best-in-class tools through APIs, and gives you control. This is the foundation that makes visibility, commerce, guest experience, and team enablement actually possible.

UHX Igniter Programs

The UHX Igniter Program is a structured, phased approach to AI readiness for luxury hospitality. Four Igniters target core domains: Visibility (search & answer engines), Agentic Commerce (AI-driven bookings), Guest-Centric AI (personalized guest engagement), and Team-Centric AI (operational efficiency). Each follows the same four program levels; Spark, Flame, Blaze and Inferno, escalating from rapid diagnostics to full-scale activation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Sherpera do?

Sherpera helps luxury resorts and travel companies create Unforgettable Human Experiences through strategic AI and technology transformation. We build the foundation (data, content, AI strategy, technology architecture) that makes visibility, commerce, guest experience, and team enablement actually work.

Who does Sherpera work with?

We work with luxury resorts and travel companies who sense the potential of AI and modern technology but need expert guidance to realize it. Our clients are typically multi-property groups or sophisticated independents who want enterprise-grade capabilities without enterprise complexity.

What are the Three Imperatives?

Own your data strategy, content architecture, and AI strategy. Govern with authority your technology architecture. Realize the possibilities. This philosophy drives everything we do. You may not build it yourself, but you must understand it and own it. You are the author of the outcome.

How do the expertise areas relate to each other?

Two areas form the foundation: AI Strategy and Data & Technology Architecture. Four areas deliver guest and business value: Visibility & Discovery, Agentic Commerce, Guest Experience, and Team Enablement. Foundation enables capability. Without proper data and AI architecture, the capabilities don't work.

What are UHX Igniters?

UHX Igniters are focused assessment programs that identify opportunities, reveal foundation gaps, and deliver quick wins in 90 days. Four Igniters align with our capability areas: Visibility, Agentic Commerce, Guest-Centric AI, and Team-Centric AI. Igniters prove value fast while building the roadmap for long-term transformation.

Why does Sherpera emphasize foundation before features?

Most AI in hospitality fails because it's deployed without foundation. Chatbots can't answer questions without knowledge bases. Personalization doesn't work without unified data. Commerce channels fail without proper integration. Foundation-first means building capabilities that actually work, not point solutions that disappoint.

What makes Sherpera different from other consultants?

25+ years of enterprise transformation experience applied specifically to luxury hospitality. We've delivered at Fortune 100 scale and understand hospitality's unique complexity. We're not consultants who advise and leave. We serve as your strategic transformation partner, providing leadership and overseeing execution.

Does Sherpera replace our technology vendors?

No. We help you govern your technology ecosystem strategically. Your PMS, RMS, and hospitality-specific tools remain. We ensure you're using best-in-class solutions for universal capabilities (CRM, CDP, content platforms) and that everything connects through modern, composable architecture you control.

How long does transformation take?

Igniters deliver quick wins in 90 days. Full transformation is progressive, typically 2-3 years for comprehensive capability across all areas. Foundation and initiatives develop together. You get value immediately while building strategic capabilities for the long term. No 'big bang' required.

Where should we start?

Start with the problem that's most urgent for your business. Losing bookings to competitors in AI search? Start with Visibility. Staff overwhelmed by manual tasks? Start with Team-Centric AI. Each Igniter reveals foundation needs and connects to the others. One entry point leads to comprehensive transformation.
