Student accommodation platform Housemates say its Connect API booking engine will power more than 200 platforms in edtech and travel within the next three years.
It comes after the Manchester-headquartered company revealed the hire of its new head of operations Martha Sperry.
Housemates Founder and CEO Lydia Jones says the fresh strategic focus centres on 30 partner platforms being rolled out and powered by Connect API by the end of this year.
“In the coming months, we are excited to roll out a host of new components, endpoints, and frameworks for Connect API,” said Lydia.
“These enhancements will meet the evolving needs of the market and facilitate seamless integration for a backlog of interested parties. And we intend to gain rapid market share with over 200 platforms that move more than 80 million students between key global corridors each year.”
Lydia added: “Martha Sperry has joined us from UniHomes and is a key part of this strategic focus, which will drive our efforts in expanding our network and delivering unmatched value to our partners and the student community.”
With strategic partnerships established with sector known platforms such as HousingHand, Unizportal, Dfavo, Edvoy, Uniabroad, and more, Housemates Connect API is emerging as the leading platform for seamless student accommodation management.
