The SIHOT Group looks back on a success story that exemplifies sustainable and technological development in the hospitality sector. The company was initially founded as a software solution designed for campsites. From the very beginning, the aim was to provide a comprehensive, reliable and future-ready representation of operational processes within the hospitality industry. In these early years, the foundations were laid for a consistently modular system architecture that can flexibly adapt to different property sizes and operational requirements.

 

In the 1990s, SIHOT became an established Property Management System in the German-speaking market with the introduction of a powerful Windows-based solution. At the beginning of the 2000s, the company then systematically expanded its international presence. New locations, web-based applications and centralised systems for hotel chains marked the next stage of development and paved the way for global expansion.

 

In the years that followed, SIHOT continued to grow beyond Europe and established offices in Brazil, Australia, the United Kingdom, Portugal, India and Austria. At the same time, the portfolio was steadily expanded – from classic PMS functionality and POS solutions to revenue and event management, the Digital Guest Journey and modern interface architectures.

 

Today, SIHOT is one of the internationally established technology partners for the hospitality industry. With its modular platform, the company supports hotels, hotel groups and resorts worldwide in the digital transformation of their processes. This development has been driven by clearly defined values: reliability, a strong focus on security, down-to-earth thinking, foresight, flexibility, ethical conduct and a consistent commitment to the needs of its customers have shaped the company’s identity for four decades.

 

“Forty years of company history represent trust, partnership and the firm determination to develop technological solutions that deliver real value to our customers,” says Carsten Wernet, CEO of the SIHOT Group. “For us, this anniversary is not simply a moment to look back, but a commitment to continue actively, responsibly and innovatively shaping the digital future of the hospitality industry.”

 

With more than 220 employees across ten locations worldwide, SIHOT today combines international presence with local expertise and personal support. Even in its anniversary year, the company remains true to its mission: providing reliable, flexible and high-quality technologies that strengthen hoteliers in their daily operations and enable long-term economic success.
