Catrina Experience selects Apaleo to power its diverse properties

Partnership with Apaleo enables Catrina Experience to smoothly run its properties.

(Munich). Catrina Experience, a brand with four properties, announced today that it has switched from an inflexible legacy system to Apaleo, the most open property management system (PMS). Constant headaches related to its previous PMS, like difficulties connecting to 3rd party applications, forced Catrina Experience to look for a different solution. After evaluating available modern, cloud-based systems, it was clear that Apaleo was the only one for the job.

“It’s difficult to run brands like Catrina Experience, which has four different types of properties: a resort, a hotel, a lodge and a hostel. Technology is the backbone for smooth operations and automating a lot of chores,” said Nando Colore, General Manager of Catrina Experience. “In addition to managing properties, we own and run nine bars, restaurants and shops which are all able to connect to Apaleo. We never imagined that it would be so simple to connect all technology to just one system, but with Apaleo we managed all.”

For building an innovative guest journey with automation of check-in and check-out, payments, guest communication and much more, Catrina Experience easily connected Code2Order, Adyen, Salto and a customized booking engine. For easy operations of all outlets, nine POS terminals were connected so that all payments could be automated through Apaleo.

“Apaleo is designed to remove all the problems that hotel chains face with legacy systems, like issues with connectivity and integrations, flexibility, manual work and getting new hotels live,” said Martin Reichenbach, co-founder of Apaleo. “Catrina Experience is an excellent example of how Apaleo supports all different types of properties and their unique setups. It gives hotel chains a platform to run with ease. “
