Oaky wins at Skift Idea Awards!

“With hundreds of entries across 14 categories, this year’s Skift IDEA Awards winners represent the innovations, design, and experiences defining the future of travel." Matt Heidkamp, Creative Strategy Director, Skift

Oaky was recognised for its Dynamic Room Upgrade Pricing feature, which was developed in collaboration with OTA Insight. Dynamic Room Upgrade Pricing uses secure real-time pricing data to calculate a dynamic room upgrade supplement based on the difference between the booked room type and available room upgrades.

“Ever since Oaky’s early days, we’ve started our mornings reading Skift’s newsletter. We see Skift as the Wall Street Journal of travel technology, and an innovator in itself – so for us to be recognised as the winner in their Tech Provider category feels extremely special. We’ve been given a real energy boost to go into 2021 to achieve new levels of innovation.” Erik Tengen, Oaky co-founder
