About TYPO3

TYPO3 is an open-source PHP content management system, in development since 1998, with an unusually strong position in German-speaking enterprise and public-sector web estates. In hotel stacks it turns up at groups and associations rather than single houses: it handles multi-site, multi-language structures and granular editorial permissions well, at the cost of needing an agency to run it. Where a property has TYPO3, the agency relationship is effectively part of the stack.

What TYPO3 does

One section per category this provider serves. Each links to the category it competes in and lists the properties running it in that specific role.

Marketing, CRM & Direct Booking

Hotel Website & CMS

The content system behind the hotel website. Diagnostic value is high: a flat-file CMS has no database, so there is physically nowhere for a guest record to live.

Alternatives

Vendors serving the same categories as TYPO3.

Contentful
API-first headless content management system used to power websites and apps from structured content.

Silverstripe
Silverstripe is an open-source, PHP-based content management system and web framework (BSD-licensed, distributed via silverstripe.org) built and maintained by Silverstripe Ltd, a Wellington, New Zealand company founded in 2000 as Totally Digital by Sam Minnée, Tim Copeland and Sigurd Magnusson.
