Certify your stay as remote-work ready with verified WiFi badges for bookings.
Remote workers can't reliably identify WiFi speeds or verified remote work setups when booking hotels and Airbnbs on hospitality platforms.
WorkFiCert lets hosts get official certifications via proctored speed tests and audits, displaying badges on their listings. Travelers search certified spots and see detailed reports. Users contribute guest tests to maintain certifications.
