Xplor Wins Two Gold Stevie® Awards in 2021 International Business Awards®

Xplor, the early learning software solution providing innovative software solutions to educators and families throughout Australia, is proud to announce that it has been awarded Gold Stevie® awards in two categories in the 18th Annual International Business Awards® today. Earlier this year, Xplor won two Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards for Excellence in Technology Innovation and Pandemic Innovations. 

The International Business Awards are the world’s premier business awards program, and more than 3,800 entries were received from organisations in 63 nations and territories. Individuals and organisations worldwide – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small – were included in the nominations.

Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 260 executives worldwide who participated in the judging process from June through early August. As the ongoing COVID-19 crisis will prevent winners from receiving their awards on stage during a traditional gala IBA banquet, winners will be celebrated instead during a virtual ceremony on Wednesday, 8 December.

Xplor’s cloud-based platform combines administration and service listing functionality with solutions for both educators and families, enabling over 10,500 services across Australia and New Zealand to provide quality care to children while actively engaging with parents. Through its apps, Office, Playground and Home,  Xplor Education enhances the childcare customer journey experience, helping children access high-quality education in Australia.

Stevie Awards president Maggie Gallagher highlighted that this year’s awards included several categories to recognise responses to the COVID-19 pandemic made by organisations and individuals.
