Operational communication platform chosen No. 1 for its ability to help owners improve their bottom lines; Visit Beekeeper in the ALIS Tech Lounge thru Jan. 30
Los Angeles, Jan. 29, 2019 — Beekeeper continues to dominate in the hospitality technology space, this time being named “Hottest Technology 2019” during the America’s Lodging Investment Summit (ALIS) inaugural “ALIS Tech Challenge: What’s Hot in Technology?” competition held here yesterday. Beekeeper was one of five hotel technology companies vying for this top honor (participants included 4DPresence/4Dp Live, Intelity, myDigitalOffice, Spaceez, and Travelsify). Judges were wowed by the company’s operational communications platform and the mobile app’s ability to digitize a hotel’s non-desk workforce by connecting operational systems and communication channels within one secure, intuitive interface.
“The labor issue continues to keep c-level hotel executives up at night, especially now that unemployment is at an all-time low and the cost of labor is on the rise with no signs of slowing,” said Connie Rheams, Beekeeper VP of Hospitality. “To overcome these challenges, hoteliers must create an environment where their employees want to work and build a career. Beekeeper was designed to connect employers and employees through technology. We understand that businesses struggle with employee engagement due to a lack of high-quality, engaging tools for internal communication. Therefore, we built an operational communication platform that ensures employer/employee engagement, makes employees happy, and keeps them wanting to come to work day after day.
“We would like to thank ALIS for adding this Tech Challenge to their impressive line-up of educational sessions and networking events,” Rheams said. “We are honored to have been recognized today, and we hope to hold this title for years to come as we begin expanding our communication platform beyond messaging by adding operational features to increase employees’ efficiency and alignment."
Earlier this month, Beekeeper was named a “2019 Top Rated Operations Product” for employee engagement and was ranked among the “Top 10 Best Places to Work in Hotel Tech 2019“ by HotelTechReport. Last year the platform was named “Most Innovative Technology of 2018” by Hospitality Technology Next Generation (HTNG); voted “People’s Choice” at HITEC® Houston 2018 as part of the Entrepreneur 20X Competition hosted by Hospitality Financial & Technology Professionals (HFTP); and earned the “Most Innovative Hotel Technology” 2018 designation during the Tech Pitch at HX: The Hotel Experience. It was also named the 59th Fastest Growing Company in 2018 by SaaS 1000.
