About us
Started in 2014 by Jan Jaap van Roon, Ireckonu is a Dutch company committed to solving the challenges of the hospitality sector through technology and data. We do this by eliminating time-consuming tasks for hotel staff and offering insights to provide a distinctly personalized digital and in-person experience for guests.
First adopted by Dutch hotel brand citizenM in 2014, Ireckonu has grown to employ nearly seventy people and today counts many leading hotel brands around the world as its clients: Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, Loews Hotels, The Student Hotels, Hard Rock Hotels, EVENT Hospitality & Entertainment, and New York City’s PUBLIC Hotel, to name a few. Led by its vision to transform the hospitality industry with smarter solutions, Ireckonu complements its cloud-native, hospitality-specific CORE Middleware solution with wrap-around applications. This means that even hotels with little in-house technology talent can undergo true digital transformation.
Ireckonu’s products are delivered in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model to scale with your business as it grows. The product is recognized as a game-changing, premium solution in the hospitality industry, leading to vast growth over the past years and an exciting future ahead.
Ireckonu is committed to the highest level of data security, and maintains ISO 27001 certification, among other best practice security measures.
