1. The Service Industry's Dilemma
The reception desk is a critical touchpoint, yet it faces growing challenges. Manual reception at service lobbies is under immense pressure regarding staffing and costs:
Scarcity and high cost of skilled receptionists: Top-tier receptionists require both language proficiency and specialized skills, driving recruitment costs and salaries higher every day.
Working hour constraints: Receptionists primarily work during business hours, while many hotels experience heavy night-time check-ins. This forces businesses to hire overnight staff, significantly driving up operational costs.
Peak-hour overload: Customers have to line up and wait, and guidance information can be inconsistent, which negatively impacts the overall customer experience.
Technological barriers: Traditional service enterprises struggle to build smart reception systems on their own due to a lack of technical foundations.

2. The Solution: A Turnkey, All-in-One AI Reception Assistant
Bekisoft's AI Receptionist Robot automates the entire lobby management process—from greeting, recognizing guests, and answering inquiries to providing directions and booking appointments. The robot operates 24/7, including overnight. Its user-friendly, minimalist operating interface allows service providers to manage it effortlessly without any technical expertise.
All-in-One (Turnkey): Includes hardware robot, management software, and artificial intelligence—ready for immediate deployment and handover.
Deep Localization: Conversations, voices, and knowledge bases are custom-trained specifically for Vietnamese and tailored to each individual business.
Easy Management: Update information, scenarios, and floor maps in just a few steps, with no programming required.
3. More Than Just a Robot — A Smart Operations Ecosystem
The AI Receptionist Robot is just one piece of a larger puzzle: Smart Hotels and Smart Clinics. The robot, along with other IoT devices—self-service kiosks, smart locks, sensors, and displays—is unified under Bekisoft's comprehensive software platform, allowing data to flow seamlessly and the entire operation to synchronize on a single system.
Smart Clinics:
Screens and registers patient information immediately upon arrival.
Schedules, reminds, and manages patient flows.
Connects with Electronic Medical Records (EMR / HIS).
Manages Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and human resources.
Smart Hotels:
Automates check-in/check-out, including night service.
Manages room availability and status in real-time.
Handles room and service bookings; integrates with smart locks and in-room IoT.
Manages customer care throughout the entire guest journey.
All components connect via open APIs and share a single data source—helping businesses operate leanly, make fast decisions, and scale up easily.
4. Key Outstanding Features
Highly Accurate Vietnamese Speech Recognition (Speech-to-Text): The core feature that makes a difference. Instead of receptionists typing out guest responses, the robot automatically converts speech to text in real-time with high accuracy for Vietnamese. This speeds up information intake, registration, and screening multi-fold, reducing errors and freeing up significant staff time.
Health Screening upon Arrival (for clinics): The robot replaces receptionists to conduct health screening Q&As as soon as patients arrive, automatically recording data into their profiles for quick doctor access.
Natural Conversation and Knowledge-Based Q&A: Understands and responds in Vietnamese using Large Language Models (LLM) based on the organization's specific internal documents and regulations (RAG), ensuring high accuracy and minimizing "hallucinations."
Facial Recognition for Guest Welcoming: Enables fast check-in and guest classification (pre-booked guests, VIPs) to serve the right person with the right needs.
Intuitive Navigation and Guiding: Displays maps and autonomously moves to escort guests to their exact destinations.
Information Registration and Appointment Booking: Guests can fill out information and book appointments directly on the touchscreen; data is synchronized back to the system instantly.
On-Site Surveys and Feedback: Collects service quality ratings immediately after assistance, driving continuous improvement.
