The readers of the industry magazines Tophotel and Hotel+Technik have decided: two SoftTec products are once again among the most innovative products in the hotel industry this year.
SoftTec Cloud Hotel Software and SoftTec Whistleblow each win gold at the Tophotel Star Award 2024, making them among the best in the industry.
In the "Efficiency" category, the SoftTec Cloud hotel software was the winner. The all-in-one solution digitalizes processes along the entire guest journey and helps hoteliers to make their workflows significantly more efficient and deploy personnel resources in a more targeted manner through smart automation of processes and communication. In addition, the modern, intuitive user interface is an absolute highlight. Design and function work hand in hand here. Hotel employees can use the software without any prior knowledge or extensive training and the workload is greatly reduced.
The SoftTec Whistleblow product wins in the "Problem solving" category and is also awarded gold. The digital whistleblowing system enables employees and other stakeholders to anonymously report violations. It thus helps companies to implement the Whistleblower Protection Act without great effort and in compliance with resource law and data protection regulations.
The Tophotel Star Award is presented in cooperation with Hotel+Technik and recognizes the innovation, functionality and quality of products, especially for the hotel industry. The jury consists of the editorial staff of Tophotel and HOTEL+TECHNIK and the readers of the two media brands: together they decide which product receives the GOLD, SILVER or BRONZE award in the respective category.
With these two further Tophotel Star Awards, SoftTec GmbH has once again proven itself to be an ideal software partner with many years of extensive hotel expertise - numerous other SoftTec products have already received awards in previous years.
