Mews, the industry-leading hospitality cloud, today announces the acquisition of Clarity Hospitality Software Solutions.
Clarity Hospitality Software Solutions (Clarity) was founded in New Zealand in 1992 to provide property and event management systems to upmarket properties and hotels. In 2016, Clarity opened its UK office and now provides its solutions and services to hundreds of hotel groups, event venues and independent hotels across APAC and the UK, managing thousands of rooms and maintaining a profitable business.
Today, Mews is used by hundreds of hotels in APAC and the UK. The acquisition increases the presence of Mews in these regions as more hotels adopt its technology to revolutionize their guest offering.
Mews has experienced significant momentum over the last year, including a valuation crossing $1 billion, surpassing 75,000 hospitality staff platform users worldwide and increased its customers in the UK by 42% and APAC by 16%.
Matt Welle, CEO of Mews, commented, “We’re excited to partner with a team with deep industry knowledge who will help to continue transforming the industry across the world. This acquisition takes us one step further on our vision to build a truly connected network of hotels globally, and we look forward to working with even more customers in the UK and APAC who believe in a future of personalized hospitality, enabled by technology.”
Richard Valtr, founder of Mews, added, “This partnership represents a fantastic investment into the APAC and UK markets, where we continue seeing hospitality brands adopting cloud technologies to streamline operations and reimagine the guest experience. We’re excited to welcome Clarity into the Mews ecosystem.”
Dougall Love, Owner and CEO of Clarity Hospitality Software, added, “For us, great hospitality technology is all about streamlining tasks to increase productivity, provide a top-class experience to guests and driving repeat and referral business, making for more efficient and profitable hospitality businesses. Mews truly shares our vision of providing remarkable guest experiences and we’re excited to continue supporting our customers with world-class resources as we join forces with Mews.”
Clarity Hospitality Software marks its 12th acquisition.
