OliverHasler.
Hospitality Strategist · AI & Business Intelligence Consultant
Twenty-five years inside the hospitality industry — now translating operational mastery into AI-driven systems, revenue intelligence and process automation.
A career built where hospitality meets the machine.
Operator first
Twenty-five years inside the business — front office, F&B, back office. Every recommendation is shaped by what actually works on the floor.
Data with judgment
BI dashboards and AI agents are tools, not oracles. The value is in the questions they let you ask — and in the conversations they enable.
Quietly relentless
Driven by curiosity and continuous study. SMEs deserve tailor-made models, not enterprise software dressed for tourism.
“In an ever more competitive and global market, SMEs deserve tailor-made Business Intelligence and Data Analysis models — never overlooking the classic aspects: interpersonal conflict resolution, guest reception, people.”
From the front desk to AI workflows.

Four pillars, one operating system.
SMART-DDT®
AI-driven purchase-cost intelligence — and the seed of the Smart Suite
Proprietary, registered system that automatically extracts purchase data from electronic invoices, DDTs and supplier documents — feeding Power BI dashboards for F&B and management control in real time. It has since grown into the foundation of the Smart Suite, an integrated family of apps for hospitality SMEs.
- ›OCR + LLM extraction across PDF / XML / p7m
- ›Automated invoice-DDT reconciliation
- ›Native Power BI integration
- ›Forecasting and supplier-price comparison
- ›Data hub for the wider Smart Suite
Separate apps, one connected ecosystem.
Smart DDT grew into a modular suite for hospitality SMEs. Each app runs on its own — together they share a single data backbone and feed the same Power BI and AI layer.
Smart DDT®
Purchase-cost intelligence
The founding, registered app. Auto-extracts purchase data from e-invoices, DDTs and supplier documents into Power BI — now the data hub the rest of the suite plugs into.
Smart Presenze
Attendance & labour cost
Tracks staff attendance and shifts, turning clock-in data into real-time labour-cost analytics and clearer scheduling.
Smart Rev
Revenue & pricing
A revenue-management cockpit — pricing, segmentation and occupancy / ADR / RevPAR forecasting built on live operational data.
Smart Fatture
E-invoicing & reconciliation
Runs the active and passive electronic-invoicing cycle, auto-reconciling against DDTs and keeping a live payment-deadline ledger.
Artificial Intelligence
01Generative AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) for data analysis, document drafting, training and automation. I design AI agents and LLM-powered apps — from supplier price comparison and predictive purchasing to the extraction engines behind the Smart Suite.
Business Intelligence
