The 'all-in-one' solution (PMS, Channel Manager and Booking Engine) becomes part of the Italian software group following the 100% acquisition of both the Austrian company zadego, which develops and markets it, and its German subsidiary zadego Deutschland
Zucchetti's growth continues unabated, both on the Italian market and internationally, also thanks to a targeted activity of acquisitions that aim to bring new solutions (and new skills) to the group to expand its offer of digital solutions for vertical sectors.
Based on this expansion perspective, particularly for the hospitality market, the 100% acquisition of zadego (and its German subsidiary), a company based in Innsbruck, Austria, which develops and markets the hotel software 'easybooking', has been completed. In completing this acquisition, Zucchetti was supported by Fellner Wratzfeld & Partner Rechtsanwälte GmbH, and by BDO Corporate Finance GmbH and BDO Austria GmbH.
easybooking is an 'all-in-one' solution (PMS, Channel Manager and Booking Engine) that already boasts over 6,000 customers between accommodation facilities operating in Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
Thomas Winkler, Ulli Beckmann, Managers of zadego, declare: "Joining a leading group in Information Technology such as Zucchetti will allow us to accelerate our growth in the DACH region, both by supporting our investments in technological innovation for the continuous development of easybooking, and by allowing us to offer our customers additional digital solutions and services provided by Zucchetti for the hotel world".
Vladimir Diring, Portfolio Manager at Creathor Ventures, investor of zadego: “We are proud to have supported zadego in its growth journey and to have contributed to this successful exit to Zucchetti. This acquisition marks a strong strategic fit, ensuring continued innovation and expansion for zadego in partnership with a renowned industry player. We thank the Carlsquare team for their invaluable experience in the software space and their advice throughout the process, ensuring a seamless and successful transaction. Their expertise and strategic guidance were instrumental in the successful sale to Zucchetti.”
“At Zucchetti, we don’t acquire companies—we forge long-term partnerships that accelerate growth and technological excellence,” emphasizes Dirk Schwindling, EVP Zucchetti Worldwide Business Operations. “zadego has built an outstanding reputation with easybooking, empowering thousands of hoteliers with efficiency and automation. By integrating their expertise into the Zucchetti ecosystem, we are setting new benchmarks for seamless, all-in-one hospitality solutions across Europe.”
Angelo Guaragni, Managing Director of Zucchetti Hospitality, adds: "In our acquisition strategy, both in Italy and abroad, we focus on companies that already have a consolidated business and on technologically advanced solutions that can be integrated with other components of our offering. zadego, with the thirteen years of experience of its people and the quality of the easybooking software, met these requirements exactly. We are therefore convinced that this transaction will allow Zucchetti to expand its penetration in the hospitality market in Austria, Germany and Switzerland".
