Hotelbird<\/a> has closed a two-stage early-stage financing round totaling \u20ac3.5 million. The capital came from Apeiron Investment Group, BayBG, Bitstone Capital, and Hannover Finanz. Baystartup provided support in preparing the round. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Munich-based startup's software solution digitizes recurring tasks and processes at hotel receptions. It can be used in kiosk mode on iPads, via a web browser, and via a dedicated app. The technology can also be integrated into existing hotel apps via an interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHotels can completely digitize their check-in and check-out processes thanks to Hotelbird\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2015, the company's technology enables hotel guests to check in, open their room doors, pay, and check out from anywhere using their mobile devices. This saves customers waiting time and paper forms, and hotels relieve the burden on their reception staff. The startup's clients include the hotel chains Steigenberger, Lindner, Leonardo, Intercity Hotels, Gorgeous Smiling, and Novum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"When we first joined Hotelbird a year and a half ago, we were impressed by its efficient software. The open platform structure can be flexibly integrated with the respective hotel software, thus clearly setting Hotelbird apart from the competition,"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

says Lukas Biberacher<\/strong>, Investment Manager Venture Capital at BayBG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"Thanks to Hotelbird, hotels can completely digitize their check-in and check-out processes. Since our investment, their market presence and position have further improved." <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Co-founder Juan A. Sanmiguel <\/strong>says: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

"Online check-in, mobile payment, and digital access control are now viewed as necessary technological solutions in the hotel industry to remain competitive. When urgently needed staff are lacking and cost pressures are increasing, digital services and automated processes help ensure ongoing operations\u2014and ensure guests have a pleasant stay in every case."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
