BeMyGuest as one of THE WORLD’S 50 MOST INNOVATIVE COMPANIES 2016 by Fast Company Magazine!
BeMyGuest, Singaporean start-up in which I have the privilage to be the head of IT just appeared on this list. We’re marked as #4 in 2016 in Travel Sector (right next to the industry leaders such AirBnB and Uber who also joined the ranks in the same category). We’re also been conferred the honour of being the first ever Singapore-based startup to join this ranking!
It’s incredible what you can build in such a short time (not even a year in terms of our B2B distribution channel) with extremely small, smart and agile tech team led by brilliant business dev folks.
How we did it?
Now, BeMyGuest acts as an important platform for small- to mid-sized operators, enabling them to market and manage their offerings with everything from translation services to dynamic pricing tools. The company’s content management system is free; travelers pay a small fee for every booking. BeMyGuest also recently launched a platform that enables travel agents to plan itineraries for their clients drawing from BeMyGuests’s inventory. In October, it made a huge deal to integrate its tour offerings with China’s online travel colossus Ctrip, fueling an average month-over-month growth of more than 100%. BeMyGuest is the first Asian activities and tours API to be fully integrated into Ctrip’s website and mobile app. In the coming months, the company will be announcing similar partnerships with the biggest travel engines in China and India.
All the hard work during last year, tons of caffeine & internal drive – all of that was really worth it!
And we’re really just warming up! So excited and impatient to see what can we acomplish in the next couple of months. You will hear a lot about us in the following months for sure, stay tuned!
