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.

SynXis is one of the two or three dominant global hotel central reservation systems, holding rates, inventory and availability and pushing them to the brand website, OTAs, GDS and voice channels; it is bundled with a booking engine, a PMS (Property Hub), a retailing module (Retail Studio) and a unified guest profile (Guest Experience). The business began as SynXis Corporation in 1996, was bought by Sabre in 2005 for $41M, and was sold by Sabre to private-equity firm TPG for $1.1B in a deal that closed on 3 July 2025. On 27 January 2026 it rebranded from Sabre Hospitality Solutions to Aven Hospitality under CEO Teresa Mackintosh — sabrehospitality.com now 301-redirects to avenhospitality.com, so the customer-facing name is changing. It reports 35,000+ hotels in 175 countries and 600+ integrations, and in July 2023 it acquired UK-based Techsembly specifically for hotel gift-card and property e-commerce capability aimed at the luxury segment.

The Hotels Network (THN) is a Barcelona-based hospitality technology company founded in 2015 by Juanjo Rodriguez that sells a direct-booking growth layer installed as a script on a hotel's own website. Its core is predictive personalisation and conversion tooling — price comparison, exit-intent messaging, A/B testing, dynamic content swaps and AI agents (KITT, Superpilot) — plus BenchDirect benchmarking and rate-parity monitoring. Critically, it also ships a Vouchers & Gift Cards module selling gift cards, refund vouchers and reward vouchers in multiple currencies with redemption tracking inside THN's own platform. Lighthouse, the London-headquartered commercial-intelligence unicorn, acquired THN in April 2025 and now markets it as the marketing arm of a single hotel commercial platform.

Tourism consulting and marketing agency at Eurocenter Block A, Industriezone 1-5, 39011 Lana, trading as tt•consulting (TT GmbH). Sells 'Konzept, Design, Programmierung, Beratung und Marketing' to hotels — but unlike a pure web shop it also runs its own product line under the tt-digital brand: a newsletter/subscription platform, an online gift-voucher shop widget, a first-party visitor tracker (ttracker.js) and a marketing-attribution helper, plus a Powermail-to-ASA bridge that posts website enquiries straight into the hotel's PMS. Builds on TYPO3 with a self-managed tarteaucitron consent layer as the house default. Headquartered in Lana, the same town as ADDITIVE.

TWINT is Switzerland's dominant domestic mobile payment app and digital wallet, operated by TWINT Ltd. of Zurich and owned jointly by the country's largest banks plus SIX and Worldline.

It covers QR-code payments in store, e-commerce and express checkout, payment links, POS/terminal integration, recurring payments, P2P transfers, Pay Later (30-day invoice), and cash withdrawal — retailers typically pay around 1.3% per transaction according to Wikipedia. Beyond payments it runs a merchant loyalty and stored-value layer: hosted digital loyalty cards (Code 128/EAN/QR), digital stamp cards, coupons, "Super Deals", third-party digital vouchers and credit (paysafecard, Google Play, Netflix), and an in-app experience-voucher marketplace powered by e-surprise/e-guma selling hotel, wellness and alpine experience vouchers.

Product line: vioma CST7 (reservation/administration system), vioma BOOKING (its IBE / booking engine, embedded via the VRI widget), vioma CHANNELS (channel manager) and vioma VOUCHER (online gift vouchers). Also builds hotel websites, so at many clients it owns the site AND the booking path AND the voucher shop. Managing directors Gerald Sandu and Swen Laempe; HRB 472438, Amtsgericht Freiburg.

Booking, guest-communication and payment tool for hotels, deployed on a per-hotel subdomain (e.g. <hotel>-booking.zimres.com) and built on Laravel Livewire. Positioned as a complement to the hotel's existing PMS rather than a replacement: online booking and enquiry from the website with staff-adjustable prices, discounts and conditions, distribution to booking platforms, guest communication and payment. Its product also includes a VOUCHER TOOL that lets guests buy and personalise vouchers on the hotel website with online payment, and transfers the voucher automatically into ASA Hotel for redemption.
