Our take
While there are a growing number of SaaS companies within the hospitality industry, many cater to businesses with singular locations – like how Amenitiz focuses exclusively on independent hotels and B&Bs - Thynk’s software is designed to optimise the management processes of hospitality companies that operate multiple properties.
The hospitality industry generates $9B in revenue every year; however, while other high-revenue industries such as banking and pharmaceuticals have their choice of enterprise solutions, the hospitality industry has been neglected. Thynk provides the sorely needed enterprise-level internal integration tools that optimise the sales, operations, and finance processes that ultimately empower its clients to unlock income through asset management.
The company;s growing at an impressive rate, and it's clear its on the fast track to becoming a true industy leader. With its ongoing focus on R&D and ambitious global expansion plans, Thynk is ready to carve out its own niche as an innovative pioneer.
