Re:Guest (ReGuest S.p.A.)

CRM

Re:Guest is a South Tyrolean hotel CRM and guest-communication platform founded in 2014 in Merano by Michael Mitterhofer, Denis Pellegrini and Stefan Plattner, who had run a tourism marketing agency together since 1999. The product started as an "emotional", web-based alternative to static PDF offers and grew into a full sales-and-marketing suite: guest profiling and segmentation, an omnichannel inbox spanning email, WhatsApp, Instagram/Facebook and a website widget, automated offers and upsell campaigns, newsletter marketing, an AI agent layer branded CR:IS, a BI module, and a web-based guest app covering digital guest directory, F&B/spa/activity ordering and self-checkout. The operating entity ReGuest S.p.A. has been listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange's direct market plus since December 2024 and reported preliminary FY2025 revenue of EUR 6.66m. It is consolidating adjacent hospitality-tech vendors through majority and minority stakes (Zeppelin Hotel Tech, UP Hotel Agency, orderando, Indicate).

aleno

POS

aleno is a Zurich-headquartered hospitality software company, founded in 2015 by restaurateur Ivica Balenovic, that sells a "digital assistant" for restaurants and hotel F&B: reservations and AI table assignment, 360° guest profiles/CRM, retention marketing, no-show prevention with prepayment, and revenue/capacity analytics. It positions itself as the data hub between the hotel PMS and the restaurant floor, with 30+ marketplace integrations to Opera, Protel, Fidelio, Mews and Apaleo on the PMS side and Lightspeed, Hypersoft and Simphony on the POS side, plus a broad set of DACH payment gateways including TWINT, Datatrans, SIX and Worldline. It also ships a permanently free voucher/gift-card module, introduced during COVID and reported in use in over 1,500 venues. Its channel-management integrations include Zermatt Tourismus, which is consistent with its appearance in the Matterhorn Group Zermatt stack.

ASA Hotelsoftware (ASA)

PMS

The dominant South Tyrolean hotel property management system, founded in Kaltern in 1989 and now selling across Italy, Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Sells a full suite around the PMS — reservations, front office and folio, plus booking, channel and CRM/marketing modules — and in 2025 became the PMS partner of Romantik Hotels, its first large multi-property European win. Family-owned rather than PE- or exchange-backed, which shows in a slow, integration-friendly product cadence.

It was acquired by D-EDGE — the hotel-distribution subsidiary of Accor — in March 2024 and rebranded D-EDGE CRM in July 2025, positioning it as the guest-relationship layer of D-EDGE's CRS + booking engine one-stop-shop. Since joining D-EDGE it ships a built-in Loyalty Programme module: hotel-branded tiers with rules on stays or spend, automatic perks and members-only rates, and a digital loyalty card inside the guest account, wired to the D-EDGE Booking Engine to drive direct bookings.
