Case Study: How B:Tech Found Reliable Accommodation for Engineering Teams Working Abroad

blog-image

When engineering teams travel abroad for projects, securing reliable accommodation quickly becomes a critical operational challenge. Companies must balance location, cost, comfort, and availability - often while coordinating multiple workers across unfamiliar regions. Without a streamlined process, arranging housing can consume valuable time and create unnecessary stress for project managers.

This case study explores how B:Tech addressed these challenges by finding a more efficient way to source accommodation for their engineering teams working internationally. By improving the way stays were sourced and managed, B:Tech was able to simplify logistics, ensure comfortable housing for their workforce, and maintain focus on delivering successful engineering projects abroad.

The Background

B:Tech specialises in industrial automation, delivering robotic workstations, engineering systems, and automated production lines for manufacturing environments.

Projects often require engineers to travel internationally for extended periods while systems are installed and commissioned.

Denisa Zemanova, Product Manager, oversees the operational side of these projects — coordinating with customers and managing planning, budgets, and logistics.

Accommodation is a key part of that process.

Very Quick and On Budget

Whenever I have a request, it’s handled very quickly. The shortlist makes it easy to choose accommodation and everything has been on budget.

The Challenge

B:Tech’s projects often involve sending engineers to work in a different country for several months at a time, with many overlapping at once. Denisa is looking after 6 projects right now - and finding suitable accommodation wasn’t always straightforward.

Hotels didn’t provide the space or flexibility needed for longer stays, especially when multiple engineers were travelling together. Instead, the team needed apartments or houses where engineers could live comfortably while working on-site for extended periods.

The difficulty was knowing where to start.

Searching across unfamiliar markets, comparing options, and ensuring the accommodation would work for engineers added unnecessary complexity to the process.

“We weren’t sure where to look — especially when the accommodation was in a different country.”

The Change

While researching online, Denisa discovered Comfy Workers from ChatGPT.

The platform offered a simple way to request accommodation suitable for working teams rather than short-term leisure stays.

B:Tech

B:Tech regularly sends engineers to projects in other countries, often for several months at a time. Finding suitable accommodation abroad — especially apartments for teams rather than hotels — was difficult and time-consuming.

After discovering Comfy Workers, Denisa began submitting accommodation requests through the platform. Comfy Workers provides a shortlist of suitable options that meet project requirements and budget.

B:Tech got fast response to accommodation requests, an easy shortlist selection process, pricing aligned with project budgets, and, comfortable accommodation for engineering teams
The process has made organising accommodation for international projects far simpler.

The Solution

Instead of searching multiple websites, Denisa now submits accommodation requests through Comfy Workers and receives a shortlist of suitable options.

These typically include apartment-style accommodation suitable for engineers staying for weeks or months at a time.

The process allows Denisa to quickly review options, compare pricing, and select accommodation that fits the project budget.

“The partnership is really good - the people are very friendly, cooperate well and communication is clear.”

Comfy Workers Vs...?

Choosing the right accommodation platform can significantly reduce the administrative burden of managing project teams working away from home. While consumer platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com are widely used, they aren’t designed for coordinating workforce accommodation at scale. The table below compares Comfy Workers with these platforms, focusing on admin efficiency and ease of managing project accommodation.
