Redwigwam signs partnership with leading booking management platform eviivo

Redwigwam, the UK’s largest award-winning platform for flexible staff, has signed a partnership with leading hospitality software company eviivo to help rebuild the hospitality sector.

Hospitality is one of the most significantly impacted industries in the UK following the pandemic. Staff shortages due to isolation remain a challenge in 2022 with some businesses reporting that a third of their workforce are isolating at any one time.

Soaring costs, supply chain issues, Brexit and an 80% decline in shift work hours during the pandemic are also factors for the industry.

Redwigwam has over 180,000 vetted workers ready at the touch of a button through its AI recruitment platform. The company has helped over 5,000 businesses, both small and large, with finding and managing high quality temp staff to fill their shifts.

The partnership with Eviivo, which helps over 13,000 hosts, property owners and hoteliers successfully manage properties through its award-winning platform, will help redwigwam extend its offerings to ease communication services, manage guests and automate tasks for a wide range of B&Bs, hotels, pubs with rooms, vacation rentals and other independent accommodation.

Lorna Davidson, founder and CEO of redwigwam, said: “We are pleased to welcome eviivo, the award-winning booking management experts, to our long list of hospitality partners.

“We are looking forward to seeing how we can help bring significant workforce achievements to the accommodation sector together.

“With the pent-up travel demand and over £190bn in additional household savings, opportunities exist for a hospitality sector boom in 2022.

“Our partnership will help sectors like hospitality to better navigate worker shortages and rising wage costs as well as providing business owners tools to succeed the next time that critical shortages occur.”

Jill Walker, Director of Distribution at eviivo said: “By working together, redwigwam and eviivo are doing their part to help during these troubled times of unpredictability and worker shortages.

“With redwigwam providing flexible staffing solutions for hospitality businesses and eviivo automating many of the time-consuming tasks involved with running a hospitality business, at least some of the many pressures on hard-working hosts and hoteliers can be eased.

“That means they will have more time freed up for what they do best – looking after their guests.”
