Alliants are delighted to have entered the 2020 TechOvation Award organised by Hospitality Technology Next Generation (HTNG). The annual award showcases the latest innovations in hospitality technology from HTNG members.
‍
Our award entry introduces our new Guest Experience platform, the must-have tool for the modern hotelier. The platform will help hoteliers pro-actively engage with their guests at every stage of their journey; from pre-arrival to post-stay. Data insights can help to maximise guests’ expenditure and drive real increases in customer satisfaction.

"We are proud to be part of the TechOvation awards and hope everyone shares our vision of the future. In the 2000's it was all about Websites, in the 2010's it was about Mobile Apps and I hope you share our view that in the 2020's it's all going to be about Messaging and Conversations." said Alliants CEO Tristan Gadsby.

To find out more about our Guest Experience platform and to vote for us, please visit the HTNG YouTube Channel below and ‘like’ our video. The more ‘likes’ we get, the more opportunities we have to get through to the semi-finals. Your support would be greatly appreciated.

About HTNG:
