A YOUNG entrepreneur<\/a> from Raheen has developed a new computer programme which he hopes will transform the way the hospitality industry works.<\/p>\n

David Hackett, 20, who was the only Limerick student selected to attend the prestigious WebSummit in Portugal, has come up with the idea of a program called NexEire.<\/p>\n

It is designed to help company bosses save time, particularly those in the hospitality sector, where he has experience of working for the last five years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt automates all the administration and the business barriers within the hospitality industry. I\u2019ve worked in this industry since I was 15. I\u2019ve seen stuff which slows things down – things like staff rostering, staff management, issues like communication, a centralised calendar, plus clocking in-and-out issues,\u201d he told Limerick Live.<\/p>\n

Mr Hackett believes if these inefficiencies can be ironed out, it will not only save businesses money, but improve the experience of guests.<\/p>\n

The program utilises artificial intelligence, or AI.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can do what I believe AI is meant to do – help with the boring nitty-gritty business stuff and bring back the human experience,\u201d he explained. \u201cPeople are stuck behind computers when instead they should be on the ground\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest advantage to this we have is removing admin and the nitty-gritty paperwork which takes away time you have with your staff you could use to upskill them.\u201d<\/p>\n

At WebSummit – the largest and most influential technology conference in the world – Mr Hackett met three people working in the construction industry.<\/p>\n

Seeing how efficiently they were using AI and computer tools inspired him to come up with NexEire.<\/p>\n

The product is at an early stage, he admits.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do have big aspirations for this, and big aspirations overall. If this were to fail, I would get back up and find something new. I know I really enjoy business. I\u2019m not saying this one could be the next Apple, but I think I have something here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Apple reference is apt, for it is the late Steve Jobs that the young entrepreneur admires the most.<\/p>\n

He admits he doesn\u2019t have the \u201cshowmanship\u201d of the founder of the tech giant – but it\u2019s something he aspires to.<\/p>\n

For many people, AI and automation can be akin to job losses.<\/p>\n

He takes a different approach, believing the new technology will lead to fresh opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw this quote once where it spoke about the industrial revolution and how it was basically saying people were scared of what was going to come then. But new jobs came – you had line managers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn a larger scale, new jobs will come from AI. This is not the end,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Mr Hackett is now looking to partner with companies.<\/p>\n
