Getabed

Getabed, operating as Getabed Suite, is a Mexican-based technology company providing a comprehensive management solution for the hospitality industry. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Guadalajara, the company targets independent hotels, small hotels, boutique hotels, villas, and other lodging centers. The firm's history shows a series of pivots, starting as an initiative called Trippo, evolving into Stayin and then HotelPaq, before rebranding to Getabed Suite. In 2021, Rakun Ventures acquired the company, a significant milestone that has positioned it for further growth and market penetration.

The company's business model is rooted in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) framework, designed to empower hoteliers to increase their direct, commission-free bookings. Getabed generates revenue through flexible pricing plans, including a commission-based model that starts from 8% for hotels with more than 40 rooms. This approach provides an alternative to relying on third-party online travel agencies that often charge high commission rates. The platform's core offering is a high-conversion booking engine that integrates directly into a hotel's own website and even Facebook page, allowing them to manage sales and payments while maintaining full control over their property.

The Getabed Suite is an all-in-one platform that includes a Property Management System (PMS), a channel manager, a website template, and various payment options. Its PMS simplifies reservation management with real-time tracking of availability and rates. The channel manager syncs a property's rates and availability across major online travel platforms, preventing overbooking and ensuring consistency. A key differentiator for the company is its emphasis on personalized customer support, offering human contact to assist clients. To date, Getabed has successfully raised $690K in funding from investors including Incipio Ventures, Balero, and Plug and Play Tech Center, which has supported its product development and expansion efforts.
