SOUTHLAKE, Texas – August 3rd, 2017 – Diogras, Inc is happy to announce its recent membership with HTNG as it launches the first end-to-end mobile valet solution to the market – Vark (www.VarkNow.com). The membership with HTNG solidifies our commitment to the hospitality industry and the belief that hotels have a huge opportunity to positively alter the guest experience from the “real” first and last impression; parking & valet.

​

“HTNG is excited to welcome Vark as a new, innovative technology in hospitality,” said Mike Blake, CEO of HTNG. “We are always thrilled to have members join who want to participate in a collaborative environment and help further the industry.”

​

CEO of Diogras also said, “HTNG is a premier technology solutions association in the hospitality industry and it was logical for us to be a part of this amazing organization to have access to the thought leadership and premium hospitality brands, as well as the ability to collaborate and partner with other technology vendors.”

​

J.D. Power and Associates released its annual North America Hotel Guest Satisfaction Index Study and the biggest takeaway for hoteliers is this: pay more attention to mobile. Hotels that incorporate mobile apps and functionality into a hotel stay have higher guest satisfaction.

​

Vark is making the valet journey mobile and modern for both guests and operations.

“Think about how you personally feel when you can’t find a parking spot or you’ve spent 30 minutes waiting for your car to be retrieved by the valet. Is it a positive experience? The #1 reason people valet is for convenience, but often it’s simply not convenient.”, said Kris Nickell, Director of Product Sales and Marketing, Diogras.  Vark puts the convenience back into valet by offering a simple solution for hospitality organizations to easily manage the valet operation. Hotels, casinos, restaurants, arenas and hospitals will all have the same easy-to-use tool to deliver a first-class customer experience as soon as they arrive to the property.

​

Let Vark help you deliver a first impression and last impression that’s worth talking about.

About Diogras, Inc and Vark 

​

Diogras is an IT Services and Consulting company with over 15 years of experience working with Fortune 500 companies bridging the gap between business and technology. We provide our clients with expert technical consulting to address needs from custom software development to modernizing legacy applications to meet the demands of the digital world. Our unique approach to engagements, leveraging our mature Agile practices, allows us to deliver high-quality, high-value solutions at the speed of business.

​

With Vark, we took a deliberate approach to customer experience and the journey of both the end customer (those that valet their vehicle) and the valet operators. In many cases, Valet is the first impression when arriving at a location, so offering a great customer experience is critical to the impression guests have of your business. After many business trips to conferences and events, enough was enough with bad valet experiences. One particularly painful experience included a trip to Las Vegas with 6+ hours spent in the “valet process” either trying to drop off or pick up  a vehicle over the course of 4 days. With our technical expertise, we set off to solve the problem of “First Impressions are the Last Impressions.” For more information on our patent-pending valet solution visit us at www.VarkNow.com
