Last week, the Sourcetoad OnDeck team attended Seatrade Cruise Med 2024 in beautiful Málaga, Spain, and we’re thrilled to share some incredible news!

 

Product of the Year Award for Our OnDeck Mobile App

We are honored to have taken home the prestigious Product of the Year award at the Seatrade Cruise Awards for our innovative OnDeck Mobile App. This award means so much to us, especially in a year that saw a record number of nominations, making the competition tougher than ever. 

Sourcetoad’s OnDeck Mobile App is an out-of-the-box, onboard guest-facing app created specifically for the cruise and ferry industry. We developed the app with the goal of revolutionizing the guest experience on cruise ships by offering seamless, real-time updates and functionality, while also saving cruise lines millions of dollars in custom development. The app has been praised for its ability to integrate easily with existing onboard systems and for optimizing operational efficiency. We’re proud to offer the most robust and flexible out-of-the-box mobile passenger app solution on the market.

Winning this award is a testament to our team’s hard work, creativity, and commitment to pushing the boundaries of cruise technology. You can read the full list of winners and learn more about the awards here.

Sourcetoad’s CEO Wins the Pitch Competition

The excitement didn’t stop there! Our CEO, Greg Ross-Munro, participated in the AI Innovations Pitch Competition and won first place! His pitch explained the challenges of building useful AI systems onboard for passenger- and crew-facing applications due to the lack of a single source of truth to inform the AI model. He then showed a demo of OnDeck’s new AI Concierge, and explained how easy it was to build due to OnDeck’s middleware platform being the perfect source of data for an AI model. The system allows guests to ask questions as broad as what is on a particular restaurant’s menu to recommendations for quiet, comfy spaces onboard to read a good book.

Competing alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry, Sourcetoad’s win further highlights OnDeck’s forward-thinking approach to technological innovation.
