TraknProtect a TSI investment portfolio company and Flightsayer a TSI advisory company, will present their cutting edge, travel technology on Sept 12th at the Phocuswright Battleground. 16 travel startups will be presenting to win 2 spots at the Summit pitch session during the Phocuswright Conference November 7-9 in Miami, FL.

TraknProtect is the only IoT platform for the back-of-the-house operations for hotels, offering real-time tracking and alerts throughout the hotel on a single platform. Using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, TraknProtect enables hotels to leverage a single platform to track inventory (such as cribs, rollaway beds, etc.), alert teams when room service items are left in hallways, manage vendor locations and timesheets, and provide real-time alerts and employee locations when safety buttons are triggered.
