Trailblazing student accommodation platform Housemates now has 200 partners and affiliates.
CEO Lydia Jones says the milestone, following last year’s launch of powerful booking engine Housemates Connect, propels the company into the next phase of its Business-to-Business (B2B) strategy.
“The widespread adoption of Housemates Connect by our partners and affiliates is a testament to the value we bring to the student accommodation ecosystem," she said.
“We are honoured to be chosen as the preferred platform, and this collaboration marks a pivotal moment in our journey.”
She added: “As part of a strategic realignment centred on fortifying partner and affiliate support from the UK, we will be closing our office in India.
“We believe that by consolidating our operations and investing in partner and affiliate support in the UK, we can elevate the industry standard and deliver exceptional value.
“This decision underscores the company's commitment to optimising resources and ensuring that our partners receive the highest level of support and service.”
The substantial adoption of Housemates Connect by Housemates’ partners and affiliates demonstrates the company’s confidence in the platform's ability to revolutionise the student accommodation experience.
By leveraging Housemates Connect, these partners aim to enhance the accessibility and efficiency of their accommodation offerings, providing a seamless experience for students across the board.
Lydia added: “Our goal is to create a unified platform that seamlessly connects accommodation suppliers with students, making the process efficient and beneficial for all parties involved.
“This strategic move involves connecting every accommodation supplier with every student acquisition channel, creating an unparalleled ecosystem that streamlines the student accommodation marketplace.
“And we are very enthused about the next steps we are taking on our journey.”
