Lund,
Sweden & New York, NY – June 2018 / Newsmaker Alert / Zaplox
AB (publ) (Zaplox), a leading global
mobile key and hospitality market innovator, today announced a new partnership
with Northwind to offer its mobile
guest experience platform as an integrated solution to the over 800 hotels
using Northwind’s Maestro Property Management System (PMS). The strategic
alliance is designed to deliver a competitive advantage and new business
opportunities in North America.
The
collaboration between the two highly innovative hotel technology companies
will benefit many of North America’s leading hotels, resort and multi-properties
to enhance their mobile guest journey and deliver a frictionless experience,
eliminating lines at the front desk to check-in and, out as well as secure
mobile payments. The Zaplox integration enables hotels to offer the added
convenience of a mobile key option to guests, reducing the hassles and
costs associated with lost and demagnetized key cards. Also, the Zaplox
solution drives new revenue opportunities with upselling, upgrades and
promotions for connected hotels.
Providing
a comprehensive platform developed specifically for the global hospitality
industry, Zaplox aims to help hoteliers implement a complete mobile guest
journey. Studies show that 50% of all travel plans are now being booked
via a mobile device, so it is a natural step for guests to use smartphones
throughout their hotel stay from check-in, and mobile room keys, to purchases,
access to guest services, checkout, payments and more.
“As
a leading PMS supplier, we are always interested in integrating Maestro
with technologies that present relevancy to our client’s operations, improve
the guest experience, and provide great value. We are excited about our
new integration with Zaplox and being able to offer our clients their solution
working in concert with Maestro.” stated Warren Dehan, President of Northwind.
“We
continue to establish partnerships with market-leading PMS vendors and
develop our platform to deliver an exceptional mobile guest journey globally,”
says Magnus Friberg CEO Zaplox. “The integration with Maestro PMS opens
up new avenues for cooperation and further strengthens our competitiveness
in the North American market. Also, the partnership increases the benefits
of the Zaplox system and provides an attractive offer to Maestro’s clients.”
