SEATTLE, Nov. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- RESIDE Worldwide, Inc. (http://www.staywithreside.com), a premiere prop-tech and alternative accommodations firm with operations in over 19,000 cities and 60 countries (RESIDE), announced today that it has partnered with Virdee, Austin, TX based SaaS provider serving the hospitality, short-term rental, multi-family and commercial real estate industries, to implement its "touchless" check-in and check-out process.
RESIDE will initially deploy Virdee Concierge via the Virdee App and stand-alone kiosks in two of its managed buildings on the east and west coast including The Beekman Tower in New York City and The Oxford in Seattle, Washington.
- Automated workflow provides safe access - By automating front-of-house workflows, Virdee allows guests to more safely access RESIDE's properties at a time when human touchpoints and personal interaction have become more challenging.

- Contactless customer experience - The product provides RESIDE with the ability to elevate the guest experience while simultaneously increasing margins and boosting profitability for the owners of the properties through "tech-first" interactions.
Lee Curtis, CCHP, founder and CEO of RESIDE Worldwide, said: "We are extremely excited to partner with Virdee on this timely initiative which doubles down on RESIDE's continuing commitment to duty of care, augmenting our recently announced RESIDE Right cleaning protocols to offer clients and guests increased peace of mind when staying with us. We think this API integration is a natural and meaningful adjunct to our 3SIXTY tech platform as we continue to identify and seamlessly incorporate customer-centric solutions into our world-class technology stack."
