HBX Group has announced the acquisition of Civitfun, a hospitality tech innovator based in Spain that digitalises hotel operations.
The strategic investment takes the HBX Group a step further towards providing a full suite of marketplace offerings.
By combining its global reach with Civitfun’s tech infrastructure and integrations, spanning 60 PMS platforms and more than 3500 clients across 36 countries, the partnership allows for its customers to be able to do more with their data in hospitality.
The duo will develop a platform of intelligent hotel solutions to enhance guest experience, optimise operations and unlock new revenue streams for hotels.
The roadmap includes expanding capabilities in areas such as contactless check-in and check-out, enhanced hotel and guest communications, and flexible upselling & cross-selling options.
Effective immediately, HBX Group hotel partners will now have access to Civitfun’s online check-in capabilities, available both remotely via URL and onsite at the front desk, allowing guests to complete check-in seamlessly, without waiting in line.
“We chose to invest in Civitfun because their technology truly makes a difference to hotels and their guests” said Nicolas Huss, CEO at HBX Group.
“Our goal at HBX Group has always been to simplify complex processes and help our hotel partners grow.
“This collaboration will do exactly that—reducing operational headaches, improving efficiency and allowing hotel staff more time to do what they do best: looking after their guests.”
“Joining the HBX Group family is an exciting milestone for us” added Mariano de Oleza, managing director of Civitfun.
“Together, we will create new opportunities for hotels worldwide, from smooth online check-in to up-sell & cross-sell possibilities”.
