“I am extremely proud to help establish RoomRaccoon’s presence in Canada at this dynamicand promising moment in the company’s history,” says Lee.
Since its inception in 2017, the Dutch tech solution quickly became the preferred hotel management system for over 1,600 properties in 54 countries worldwide. It is the most complete HMS on the market, offering built-in features that maximize online sales and streamline operations.
The cloud-based system is fully integrated with a Property Management System (PMS), Channel Manager, and Booking Engine. It is designed to be easy to use and fully automated, offering hoteliers a simple yet comprehensive solution that does the job of multiple hotel tech stacks. Other tools include revenue and yield management, automated upselling, integrated accounting, online check-in, guest communication, payment processing, housekeeping management software, and more.
On average, RoomRaccoon’s clients report a 27% increase in direct bookings and 14% in revenue per available room."With RoomRaccoon, hoteliers can increase their occupancy rates, control their inventory, maximize their revenue and improve the overall guest experience,” said Van Dyl.
Unlike legacy technology, RoomRaccoon is integrated with 400+ connectivity partners and third-party applications, including top-rated online travel agencies like Expedia, Airbnb, and Booking.com. Their powerful Channel Manager syncs availability in real-time and makes bulk changes to listings within 5 seconds – meaning no more risk of over-booking.
“Canada opens up the opportunity to partner with even more innovative, fast-paced, and trendsetting companies,” says van Dyl.
What makes RoomRaccoon stand out in the crowded hotel tech space is the fact that it is more than just a hotel tech company. RoomRaccoon is the brainchild of a hotelier who has first-hand experience of the daily operations and pain points involved in running a hotel.
“We initially started RoomRaccoon to empower ‘small’ hoteliers,” says Nadja Buckenberger, Co-Founder of RoomRaccoon. “However, by continuously innovating and developing our product, our target market has evolved, and we are now able to service bigger properties too.”
RoomRaccoon was voted the best Hotel Management System in 2020 and 2021 by hotel managers and industry experts in the Hotel Tech Report.
