Vodia participated in NoVacancy Sydney 2025, Australia’s largest conference and exhibition for the accommodation industry, showcasing its cloud PBX solutions designed specifically for hotels, resorts, and other hospitality venues. With advanced VoIP and AI-driven features, Vodia enables properties to provide guests with seamless, personalized experiences while streamlining operations, reducing costs, and boosting staff efficiency. The company highlighted its recent integration with the Shiji Property Management System (PMS) and Microsoft Teams certification, making it a versatile communication platform for both boutique hotels and multinational chains.

NoVacancy is Australia’s largest conference and exhibition for the region’s accommodation industry, including hotels, motels, serviced apartments, resorts, casinos, student accommodation, and holiday parks. The expo covers the entire supply chain in hotel and accommodation, delivering cutting-edge solutions and an exploration of ideas and trends. 

NoVacancy is hosted by Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International (HSMAI), a non-profit industry association for hotel and hospitality sales, marketing, revenue management, distribution, digital, and general managers throughout APAC. The conference brings together thousands of decision-makers, suppliers and innovators every year. Vodia was in attendance this year thanks to Rupert Utteridge, Global Sales and Support, who shared a booth with snom Technology

Our recent integration with the Shiji PMS

We understand the expectations of modern travelers are driven by the possibilities available with smartphones and Wi-Fi, and hotels must ensure everything - from housekeeping to room service, from checkout to billing, from restaurant reservations to spa appointments - can be managed almost instantly, and seamlessly, from guest devices. This is why we were proud to announce the integration of the Vodia PBX with the Shiji Property Management System (PMS).
