The cloud-based system is fully integrated with a Property Management System (PMS), Channel Manager, and Booking Engine. It is designed to be easy to use and fully automated, offering hoteliers a simple yet comprehensive solution that does the job of multiple hotel tech stacks. Other tools include revenue and yield management, automated upselling, integrated accounting, online check-in, guest communication, payment processing, housekeeping management software, and more.

Their powerful Channel Manager syncs availability in real-time and makes bulk changes to listings within 5 seconds – meaning no more risk of over-booking.
“Canada opens up the opportunity to partner with even more innovative, fast-paced, and trendsetting companies,” says van Dyl.
What makes RoomRaccoon stand out in the crowded hotel tech space is the fact that it is more than just a hotel tech company. RoomRaccoon is the brainchild of a hotelier who has first-hand experience of the daily operations and pain points involved in running a hotel.
“We initially started RoomRaccoon to empower ‘small’ hoteliers,” says Nadja Buckenberger, Co-Founder of RoomRaccoon. “However, by continuously innovating and developing our product, our target market has evolved, and we are now able to service bigger properties too.”
RoomRaccoon was voted the best Hotel Management System in 2020 and 2021 by hotel managers and industry experts in the Hotel Tech Report.
