Synergy Global Housing (Synergy), a leader in serviced accommodation fulfillment and management, won the Business Travel Awards Europe (BTA Europe) 2021 Accommodation Innovation award for its industry-first, mobile apartment inspection solution, SynergySMART (Simple Mobile Apartment Reporting Technology).
“What is so delightful about this award is that the idea for SynergySMART was sparked during discussions with a major client and then was formulated and tested by all of our U.S. and European supply chain partners”, said Stephen Hanton, President, International. “Truly a product of our international partnerships, SynergySMART solves one of the industry’s most pressing pain points, apartment inspections”.
Developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, SynergySMART is an automated sanitisation/cleanliness cloud-based application that streamlines the tracking and measurement of Synergy’s comprehensive nine-point global supplier partner health and safety protocols, SynergyCares.
BTA Europe judges praised Synergy for:
“…its swift response to the pandemic with the rollout of this simple but effective solution”. They said, “the tool streamlines the tracking and recording of new cleanliness protocols at partner properties, negating the need for travel managers to send questionnaires to individual providers, and helping corporates fulfil their duty of care requirements and build confidence among travellers”.
