Stefan joins the core executive team of David Turnbull co-founder, Michael Heinzeco-founder, and Martin Soler CMO in the mission to provide hotels with usable analytics and accessible data. This is a massive undertaking. The recent €25 million euro funding from Shiji Networks is being used to help fuel the next phases of a project that will ultimately help hoteliers use their data in a typical “Silicon Valley” end product way – minimalist, powerful, and useful.

To mark the event, SnapShot management decided to open its new analytics dashboard prototype to a limited number of hoteliers who request early access. The platform offers key performance metrics, benchmarking, market rate data, website performance, TripAdvisor metrics, social media stats, and more.

Hoteliers may sign up for an exclusive early access to SnapShot Analytics here.
