Aims to redefine luxury hospitality
Crqlar was founded in February 2022 by Angel Ferrufino, Dejan Keri, and Fabian Rauch. According to Crqlar, it utilises advanced technology and artificial intelligence to produce one-of-a-kind guest profiles. By gathering and refining data, the company can make accurate forecasts, boost revenue and automate operations using sophisticated machine-learning techniques.
The company aims to streamline working with guest data for hotel staff, ranging from receptionists to managers, through its B2B SaaS platform. By consolidating the abundance of guest data scattered across various software tools, the platform simplifies the workflow of hoteliers.
Machine learning and AI enable the delivery of customised and timely information to staff members. It guarantees that each guest receives personalised attention and exceptional service at every point of contact.
Since its inception, the startup has already managed to onboard several luxury hotels, such as Forsthofgut, Grandhotel Lienz and Post Lech. By partnering with these hotels, Crqlar has helped them increase their revenue and save up to 80% of administrative time for their staff members.
