"Redefining Hotel Management in the Cloud"
Donate NowSterling Cloud Solutions was founded in the vibrant tech hub of Oxford in 2020, born from a vision to modernise the hospitality industry. Recognising the growing need for streamlined and efficient hotel management, our founders, a team of seasoned technologists and hospitality experts, embarked on a journey to create a comprehensive cloud-based Property Management System (PMS). From humble beginnings in a small office on Bridge Street, we've grown into a dynamic company serving hotels across the United Kingdom and beyond.
Our core values are rooted in innovation, customer-centricity, and a commitment to excellence. We believe in empowering hoteliers with technology that not only simplifies their daily operations but also enhances guest experiences. We understand the unique challenges faced by hotels in today's fast-paced environment, from managing online bookings to optimising revenue and ensuring seamless guest interactions. Our mission is to provide solutions that address these challenges head-on, enabling hotels to thrive and deliver exceptional service.
In 2021, we launched our initial PMS platform, quickly gaining traction within the UK market. By 2022, we proudly celebrated reaching over 100 hotel clients, a testament to the effectiveness and reliability of our software. Continuing our commitment to innovation, 2023 saw the expansion of our service offerings with the integration of Point of Sale (POS) systems, providing a truly unified hotel management solution. Now, in 2024, we are initiating a fundraising round to fuel our next phase of growth and innovation. This investment will enable us to expand our development team, enhance our platform with cutting-edge AI-driven features, and broaden our reach to empower even more hotels globally.
Our cloud-based platform is designed to address these challenges head-on. Sterling Cloud Solutions integrates all essential hotel operations into a single, seamless system.
