The Swedish company specialized in services and solutions for the hotel sector will offer its clients the “Speeron Piccolo” software developed by Colombians for automating the check in / out process.
Speeron, a Swedish company will launch its operations in Colombia next Thursday at the residence of the Swiss Embassy where the company will present its broad portfolio of high technology solutions before all executives and representatives of the most important hotels in the country, focusing on the “Speeron Piccolo” tool entirely developed in the country with national technology.

Speeron offers an integrated solution platform where the best specialized technology companies in the hotel industry have participated; including Micros Opera, Ibahn and LG electronics.

This company dedicated to offering services and technological solutions to hotels according to their needs and projections, seeks not only to penetrate the Colombian market from Bogotá, but also to establish its Latin American operations in the capital.

With the guidance of PROCOLOMBIA on establishing its operations in Colombia, Speeron made the decision considering that Colombian engineers developed this software that seeks to automate the check in / out process and will be offered exclusively to its national and international clients.

It also took the growth of the hotel industry in the country under consideration, as well as security and legal guarantees offered by the National Government for foreign investors to establish in Colombia.

”The arrival of Speeron combines three very important elements for the Colombian economy and the work of PROCOLOMBIA: It will offer the latest technology in services for hotels which will attract international tourists, and create direct jobs with its arrival to Colombia, as well as motivating software developers on their potential for offering services to the best companies of the world”, stated the president of PROCOLOMBIA, Maria Claudia Lacouture.

Speeron was founded in 2006 by Mats Melander, current CEO and Karl Soderberg Global Sales Director, both with over 25 years of experience in the sale of services and technology in the hotel sector.

It is one of the technology companies in the hotel industry with the fastest pace of growth in Nordic countries. During four years it has installed solutions for around 300 thousand rooms in the world.

The main clients of Speeron in the world are large hotel chains such as the Accor group, Hilton, Best Western and First hotels, among others who have used the "one shop stop" figure which allows accommodation sites to have a single vendor for all their hotel technology.
