What the Data Is Telling Us
These findings illustrate the types of questions Starfleet Research examines: where performance gaps exist, how operating practices differ and which technologies and management disciplines are associated with stronger outcomes.
of hoteliers adopting integrated, cloud-based platforms reported measurable improvements in staff efficiency
Integration increasingly affects operating performance, not simply IT architecture.
of hoteliers have real-time visibility into key performance metrics such as RevPAR or occupancy
The visibility gap helps explain the shift toward unified data and real-time operational intelligence.
of restaurant operators reported revenue loss from critical system failures
Reliability directly affects revenue capture, labor efficiency and guest experience.
rate predictive insights using factors such as weather, local events and neighborhood traffic as very or extremely valuable
Operators increasingly want technology that helps them anticipate demand rather than simply explain the past.
of retailers fall short of complete visibility into IoT devices across stores, warehouses and distribution centers
Incomplete device visibility creates a foundational governance and cybersecurity challenge.
identify financial loss, customer-data theft and operational disruption among their top concerns related to IoT attacks
The finding shows why cybersecurity needs to be connected to measurable business risk.
