Hotelzon is strengthening its development resources with the acquisition of a strategic stake in IT consultancy ARoBS Transylvania Software, based in Romania. ARoBs already provides Hotelzon with support and call centre services, and system development.

The companies have been working together for the past two years.

The hotel booking and technology group says the acquisition is in line with the group’s strategy to confirm its position as the frontline hotel reservation technology provider.

Describing ARoBS as “a well-established, mid-sized IT consultancy company with a good reputation and skill base”, Jouni Peltonen, Hotelzon chief technical officer said, “This acquisition fits extremely well into our strategy of creating a top-of-the-class technology development team for the group.”

Hotelzon and ARoBS are currently working on developing market-leading technology called Hotelzon Online, a state-of-the-art online booking tool with extensive content and efficient location search facilities.
It will present users with a selection of available hotels and rates. For the corporate travel manager, it provides flexible policy compliance features that reduce costs and improve control over corporate hotel programmes - recent benchmarking by one of Hotelzon’s global clients showed a 20 percent saving in hotel costs. It also enables comprehensive online reporting tools.
