“BEST OF 2017” — IT INNOVATION AWARD

Socialwave honored by Initiative Mittelstand

Mission Innovation

For 14 years, the Initiative Mittelstand has been awarding the IT INNOVATION PRIZE, which honors innovative products, services and solutions in the area of information technology and communication for German SMEs. In total, more than 5,000 products from Germany, Austria and Switzerland were submitted this year.
What counts is the innovative content (novelty, product maturity and future orientation), the benefits (recognizable benefit, impact on profitability, increase in efficiency) and the suitability of SMEs (relevance for SMEs, practicality, implementation) of the submitted solution.

Socialwave receives the “BEST OF 2017” certificate

SocialWave's WLAN Hotspot Solution impressed the jury and is among the top group of this year's IT INNOVATION PRIZE. The Mittelstand Initiative thus selects particularly innovative solutions that make medium-sized companies fit for a successful digital future. The patron of the IT INNOVATION PRIZE 2017 is Ratiodata GmbH.

Socialwave founder Mario Schilling is delighted to receive the award:

“This award means a lot to the entire Socialwave team. It is good to see that our good work is being recognized. With our marketing WiFi hotspot solution, we contribute to the digitization of SMEs and help companies remain competitive in the future. We are constantly improving our product and are therefore adapting to new trends. With the new WiFi Tracker, we want to provide additional evaluations for the POS in addition to our WLAN hotspot solution.”

Socialwave and SMEs — a success story

The private bakery Wimmer is just one of many success stories that Socialwave has already written together with medium-sized companies. More than a year ago, the Munich-based family company began using Socialwave to provide its customers with free and warning-proof WiFi. Socialwave routers are now running in over 40 Wimmer branches. As a result, new customers were acquired and customer satisfaction increased. Thanks to the Socialwave Facebook login and location check-in, bakery Wimmer's social media reach was significantly increased during this period. Hundreds of guests are now successfully logging into the Socialwave WLAN of bakery branches every month.

We at Socialwave also want to be a strong, reliable and innovative partner for German SMEs in the future. We would like to thank the Initiative Mittelstand once again and look forward to being there again next year when the INNOVATION PRIZE IT 2018 is awarded.
