Restoring Trust in the Hotelier-Tech Provider Buying Process

Navigating the tech landscape in hospitality is challenging, and for hoteliers, it often comes with a layer of distrust. Big marketing budgets and biased channels have made it difficult for hoteliers to trust the sales process.

We recently had a real conversation with a group of hoteliers who have been using Affixify, and their questions were clear.

Hotelier: "We've used your platform. We really like it. But we are trying to reverse engineer this. How accurate are these matches? Are you actually matching us with the right vendor? OR are the vendors paying you more to get better placement, and that's who you match us to? We want to know we're getting matched based on features- not on the highest bidder."

This isn't the first conversation we've had like this. If there is one thing we can agree on…it’s this: hoteliers are tired of navigating tech with the added burden of questioning the integrity of the platforms they rely on. We are so accustomed to filtering everything we see through the lens of marketing assumptions. That is exactly why Affixify was born.

So, how exactly is Affixify unbiased?

Our Commitment to Unbiased Tech Matchmaking

• Feature-Based Matching: Our algorithm matches the hotel's feature needs to the vendor's feature availability. We ensure that the matches are based on the requirements of the hotel, not on who pays us more (hint, everyone pays us the same thing).

• No Preferential Treatment: There is no preferential treatment within our algorithm. No vendor can pay us more to get "first dibs" on a demo or a better placement. We believe in fairness and complete transparency.

• Privacy Respect: We aren’t looking to solicit hotel email addresses and contact info to make a dollar. Our goal is to bridge the gap between buyers and sellers, not to exploit their data.

• Vetted Vendors: Every vendor who joins our platform goes through a thorough vetting process with our team. We ensure that their features are live and not just on a road map. This is crucial for maintaining the trust of our hotel partners.

Our Philosophy

"Is your process scalable?" This is a question we often ask ourselves, and the answer is typically, no. And, to be honest? We are good with that. We believe in taking the time to ensure quality and integrity, even if it means growing in a way that’s not scalable. We are immensely inspired by the back story of Airbnb and its commitment to doing things that weren't, well, scalable. (Check that out sometime; it's quite inspiring!)

Our Mission

We will continue to boldly challenge the status quo to help better our industry in the best way we know how. Affixify is truly just getting started, and we are excited about the future. Our mission is to build trust, ensure transparency, and provide value to our hotel partners.

Let’s build a better future together- reach out to our team to get started on your shopping journey, or, to get listed as a vendor on our platform!
