Motivation of the founders

From the industry for the industry

Hoteliers have so far often to struggle with the use of hotel management systems.  Just to name a few reasons: complicated software, long term and costly trainings, very expensive and difficult updates. These days are now over. The new web-based hotel management system ibelsa.rooms has the potential to revolutionize the market. Many creative people are involved in the development and they all know the hotel and IT business. Patrick Schulte and Philip Berchtold the founders of ibelsa talking about their motives.

The vision - the inventors!

A conversation with Patrick Schulte and Philipp Berchtold

What is ibelsa.rooms?

Patrick Schulte (PS): Philip Berchtold and I launched ibelsa.rooms at the end of 2010. Philip grew up within the hotel industry and witnessed it at an international level, so you could say it is in his blood. I have 15 years running a company that delivered software solutions to discerning customers at the highest level. So the idea was actually pretty collaborative, no Philip?
