Use Case — Hospitality
Guest-facing energy assets that property teams can actually operate
Charging, backup power, and load management sit directly in the guest experience. GRIDSTROM connects the investment decision to the operating reality so property teams are not left with equipment they cannot support.
Operating Context
The environment this work happens in
- Brand standards and guest expectations that vary by property tier.
- Property-level teams with limited technical staff and high turnover.
- Seasonal demand and event load that shift utilization sharply.
- Owner, brand, and management company each holding part of the decision.
The Fragmented-Data Problem
Where the record breaks today
- Charger uptime visible only in a vendor app the property does not monitor.
- Service calls handled ad hoc by whoever answers the phone.
- Utility cost impact discovered on the bill, not at the decision.
- No shared record between owner, brand, and management company.
Financial Decision
Does this amenity carry its operating cost, and who is responsible for it?
Operational Workflow
How the work moves
- 01
Define the amenity
Scope reflects guest volume, parking layout, and electrical capacity.
- 02
Model the operating case
Utilization and tariff scenarios sit beside installed cost.
- 03
Approve at the right level
Owner and management approvals are recorded on the project.
- 04
Install and hand over
Commissioning evidence becomes the asset's baseline.
- 05
Monitor and service
Exceptions raise work orders before guests report them.
Representative Product Experience

| AST-8801 | Charging bay 1–4 | North garage | Operating | None |
| AST-8804 | Charging bay 5 | North garage | Exception | WO-5512 dispatched |
| AST-8810 | Storage cabinet A | Service yard | Operating | Scheduled service |
| AST-8815 | Standby generator | Mechanical | Test due | WO-5519 scheduled |

Outputs by Role
What each role gets from the same record
Executive
- Amenity availability across properties
- Capital and operating exposure in one view
Finance / Planning
- Operating cost assumptions retained with the approval
- Variance between modeled and actual utilization inputs
Operations
- Property dashboard with open exceptions
- Vendor response tracking
Technician
- Incident detail with equipment history
- Checklist and evidence capture on completion
Integration Approach
Connect what is already in place
- Vendor-neutral intake: existing spreadsheets, ERP exports, monitoring portals, and equipment telemetry are read into a canonical asset record.
- GRIDSTROM is not the general ledger. ERP and accounting platforms remain systems of record for financial postings.
- Charging network and building system portals contribute status where an interface exists; the property keeps its existing vendors.
- Property accounting remains the system of record for revenue and expense postings.
Security & Governance
How access and evidence are handled
Role-based access, least-privilege permissions, and an append-only history for approvals and status changes. Documents and evidence are stored privately, and access is scoped to the organization, project, and role that requires it.
Measurement
What success could be measured
Metric categories only. Results depend on the organization, its data, and how the work is adopted; no outcome is promised.
Amenity availability
Share of guest-facing assets in an operating state.
Exception response
Time from detection to a dispatched service action.
Service closure quality
Share of work orders closed with evidence and verified recovery.
Operating cost visibility
Share of assets with tariff and utilization inputs recorded.
