This acquisition, led by Mews Ventures with the aim of further digitizing the hospitality sector, marks the third acquisition in North America in just under a year. This signifies a further investment in a region where Mews continues to expand its presence. The terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed.
Frontdesk Anywhere, founded in 2009 in the heart of Silicon Valley, is an award-winning cloud-based property management system for independent hotels and management groups. It provides hoteliers with a platform to streamline their operational processes, increase revenue, and enhance the guest experience.
The acquisition of Frontdesk Anywhere follows an extraordinary year for Mews. In 2023, Mews reached over 5,000 customers and processed more than $5 million in transactions through Mews Payments. With the acquisition of Frontdesk Anywhere, Mews expects to continue this growth and bring further automation of operational processes for modern hoteliers, allowing them to focus more on their guests.
Joe Kiernan, CEO and founder of Frontdesk Anywhere, responds: "Frontdesk Anywhere's mission is to transform hospitality and collaborates with some of the world's most progressive hospitality brands and companies. By joining forces with Mews, the team, customers, and partners of Frontdesk Anywhere will continue to innovate in how hoteliers can provide better service to their guests through technology and software."
"The addition of Frontdesk Anywhere strengthens our offering in North America where we saw our strongest growth in 2023," adds Richard Valtr, founder of Mews. "The fact that we can welcome such an early pioneer in cloud technology like Frontdesk Anywhere underscores our commitment to this region and our goal to transform the hospitality sector across North America with technology."
For Mews Ventures, the acquisition of Frontdesk Anywhere marks the eighth in their portfolio, which previously included companies such as HotelPerfect (2021), Cenium (2022), Bizzon (2022), Hotello (2023), and Nomi (2023).
