Since October, Paris-based Quicktext has become a certified quality partner of Progros and has been awarded the Progros quality seal. This makes Quicktext part of the largest network of suppliers and service providers in the hospitality industry (based on Progros’ ISO-certified supplier management system; ISO 9001:2015; DEKRA). The approximately 900 hotels and hotel chains using Progros to optimize their purchasing processes in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Luxembourg can now benefit from Quicktext’s services and offerings.

Becoming a partner with Progros requires meeting ten clearly defined quality criteria set by Progros’ procurement management,” explains Tommi Huuhtanen, Managing Director of Progros and Head of Procurement. According to Huuhtanen, these criteria include measurable advantages in procurement, product competence, quality, sustainability, innovation, digitalization, service, and logistics. Compliance with these standards is regularly verified by Progros under its ISO-certified supplier management system.

The progros seal of approval is a positive signal and flagship for us, as it is not awarded to just anyone. By working with progros, we can reach the top hotel industry in German-speaking Europe and provide this market segment with improved purchasing conditions. We are therefore delighted to be working with progros and look forward to a long-term partnership,” says Daniel Doppler, co-founder and CEO of Quicktext.
