The pandemic has accelerated demand for revenue-generating products and technologies in the industry to help travel companies recover from two years of the pandemic and leverage the market momentum. Hotelmize utilizes advanced technologies to unlock hidden hotel booking profits and to create new travel products based on financial modelling, Big Data and AI, to make OTAs, tour operators, bed-banks and travel agencies more competitive and profitable. Hotelmize analyzes its partners’ reservations and optimizes their purchase rates, utilizing the company’s proprietary AI predictive algorithm and room mapping technology. Hotelmize’s innovative product portfolio will be officially launched in Q2 2023.
Hotelmize is serving more than 100 partners from 20 countries which are leveraging the company travel optimization platform to increase their profitability, enhance customer experience and gain a competitive edge.
The series B round came after Hotelmize had experienced over 800% YoY growth and after successfully retaining some of the biggest B2C and B2B travel brands in the industry with the company optimization suite which is yet to be published openly to the market.
Hotelmize’s vision is to become the leading travel optimization platform in the industry and continue to enhance value for partners and their clients.
The company was founded by Dor Krubiner, CEO, Omry Litvak, COO, and Guy Levitan, CTO. Founders’ unique approach to leveraging capital market trading practices to optimize travel company’s ability to better purchase and sell travel products came from their extensive experience in the capital markets.
