conichi among most important Travel Innovators of the Year

Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood, 9th of November 17: When it comes to hotel hospitality, best quality is always of top priority. But can superior service also be timesaving? The German technology-developer conichi proves yes and therefore got awarded yesterday at the traveltech-event, the Phocuswright Conference in Florida.
The awards are given to companies that have been developing the most promising travel innovations. The Summit is rewarding carefully selected startups and emerging companies around the globe by industry experts and technology analysts.
By digitizing tedious hotel procedures like check-in/check-out, digital door opening and invoicing, conichi is taking an impersonal standard, utilizing it in a smart way to create a new standard in hospitality. Travelers can use an express check-in and can check out via mobile without queueing at departure. Payments are safely made through the app to ultimately save the hotelier and guest valuable time.
“Our solution is an answer to the demands of the modern business traveler,” said Maximilian Waldmann, CEO & Founder at conichi. “They hotel experience is new, less time- consuming and a lot more comfortable at the property and post stay. Travelers save up to 20 minutes per stay through mobile payment and paperless expensing.”
This recognition is just one of the first market entry steps the startup is taking in the United States. It is one of their core strategic markets and a very promising one with a large smartphone-savvy generation in the upcoming.
