In a significant move that promises to revolutionize the hospitality industry, global software solutions provider Agilysys, Inc., announced a pivotal acquisition of Book4Time, Inc., the globally acknowledged leader in spa management SaaS software. Known for managing an unrivaled number of Forbes 5-Star-rated spas and wellness entities within hospitality organizations, Book4Time’s reach extends across international hotels, resorts, casinos, golf and private member clubs across more than 100 countries.
The impacts of this union are two-fold – it expands Agilysys operations globally whilst providing hospitality properties the chance to enhance revenue generation, operational efficiency, and capacity utilization with Book4Time’s extensive offer suite including appointment booking services, contactless guest intake options among other capabilities.
Emphasizing Book4Time’s growth narrative are partnerships with global hotel and resort brands and integrations with over 60 technology providers including property management systems (PMS) and point-of-sale systems (POS). Additionally notable is their effective remote implementation, training and support facilities.
For founder Roger Sholanki now turned CEO at Book4Time wherein he was instrumental in developing the industry’s leading SaaS platform for spa and wellness operations collaborating on this scale alongside Agilysys is exciting owing to obvious reasons. “What amplifies our ability to cater to clients is the innovative technology strengths at Agilysys coupled with their broad range of state-of-the-art solutions inclusive of membership structures and opportunities relating to golf,” says Sholanki.
Agilysys CEO Ramesh Srinivasan resonates with Sholanki’s sentiments mentioning how both teams market-leading technology equips hospitality staff better than ever before while also connecting them on mutual skills working with renowned properties worldwide.
The all-cash transaction finalized at approximately $150 million USD marks a leap towards accelerating advancement in the realm of hospitality technology from consolidated product yields. What’s more inferred is the probability of introducing additional software solutions to a broader customer base owing to negligible overlap in their respective customer basis. Impacts on the company’s financial guidance for the next fiscal year and further details are scheduled for release during an upcoming fiscal second quarter earnings call.
Dedicated to achieving High Return Hospitality, Agilysys sole focus is on providing avant-garde software solutions and services. Utility of systems such as Point-of-Sale (POS), Food & Beverage Inventory and Procurement (I&P), Property Management Systems (PMS) alongside other hospitality eco-system inspired applications ensures consistent guest-satisfaction, staff-retention, and margin growth.
Enjoying similar acclaim, Book4Time remains a global leader of spa management software with revenue potential extending across international hotels, resorts, casinos, golf and private member clubs in over 100 countries worldwide. Aside from being Hotel Tech Customer Support certified, this Canada-based enterprise stands apart as the industry’s leading cloud-based software for wellness offering centralized multi-location platform apart from boasting highest uptime at 99.99%, offering round-the-clock global customer support centers, supporting 15 languages and regular software updates.
