Using our open APIs, Nestor Stay integrated AI seamlessly into guest messaging, voice interactions, and review workflows. This isn’t just about automation; it’s about improving real touchpoints like WhatsApp chats, AI-driven review insights, and voice bookings. The result? A smarter, more efficient operation that drives results.

Here’s what happened:

• 80 new units opened
• 62% increase in booking value
• 168% more direct revenue
• 84,000 guest messages per year, all handled by a 3-person team across 14 properties in London

What’s even more impressive: despite all this growth, guest satisfaction stayed high, with an average rating of 8.7.

Burda’s digital publisher brands, which include Focus Online, Chip and Bunte.de, are being united under the BurdaForward subsidiary. The various brands are decentralised and, for historical reasons, have their own IT architectures and developer teams who work with different programming languages.

Organised into “Jobs to be Done” teams, BurdaForward is no longer structured according to brands and products, but based on the jobs that the products perform for users. The “Content Technologies” team offers the individual “Jobs to be Done” teams a central content platform – a technical foundation. Job teams can work completely independently of the content platform, draw on complete services, or develop their own features on the content platform stack. All technologies used will be unified into a core tech stack that will be made available to the developers on the job teams.

Gute Jobs erkennt man heute nicht mehr nur an spannenden Aufgaben oder einem attraktiven Gehalt. Nein es ist mehr!

Entscheidend in heutigen Zeit sind es die Benefits und zwar diese, die wirklich etwas bewegen:

Sie fördern die Gesundheit, schaffen Balance zwischen Job und Privatleben, geben finanzielle Sicherheit und eröffnen und neue und echte Entwicklungsperspektiven.

Arbeiten bei Burda heißt nicht umsonst arbeiten "in good company".

Ob Gesundheitsangebote, flexible Arbeitsmodelle, finanzielle Vorteile oder individuelle Weiterbildung - bei uns greifen diese Bausteine ineinander. 

So entstehen Benefits, die nicht nur überzeugen, sondern auch den Unterschied machen.
