HIT S.A. has developed the first entirely designed in Greece hotel management system called HERMES, "classic" over the years and the only purely Greek PMS taught in higher tourism education schools as well as in hotel services schools. It has also secured the exclusive representation in Greece, Cyprus and the other Balkan countries of the German hotel management system (PMS) Protel Hotel Software, which from 1994 to date has over 80,000 installations in more than eighty (80) countries. By making Protel known in Greece, HIT S.A. has managed to "liberate" the Greek market from stagnation and low-level service in the hotel and hospitality industry.
OR Epsilon Net SA is the largest business software company in private sector projects with over 400 staff in Athens and Thessaloniki and with more than 30,000 customers and professionals who trust its products daily. More specifically, Epsilon Net's products are trusted by over 65% of the accounting firms market and over 70% of the Payroll and HR systems market.
Also, Epsilon Net, making the largest investment in the IT sector in recent years in Greece, has expanded to create the most modern Pylon platform with ERP solutions for large and small-medium enterprises. Especially in the field of Tourism and Catering, Epsilon Net, through the Pylon platform, has created the Pylon Hotel and Pylon Restaurant applications, which are trusted by a significant share of the market. At the same time, in collaboration with its specialized network of partners that exceeds 300 partners throughout Greece, Epsilon Net provides the ability, at a national level, to cover all tourist units directly and effectively, creating a business opportunity in this vertical market.
The combined installed base of the two companies exceeds 2,000 hotel solutions installations and over 400 restaurant chain stores, making this strategic partnership the most comprehensive and leading in the field of IT for Tourism in Greece, with a remarkable size even by European standards.
Through this strategic collaboration, the two companies will further develop their existing solutions and at the same time develop new programs and services, using the most advanced and innovative technology, which will aim to upgrade the services of all internal departments of the tourism industry.
All of the above will be based on human needs (Guest Experience), new market trends, the provision of remote hotel services (Mobility) and new SaaS (Software as a Service) services in accordance with international requirements and standards. Of course, combined with the breadth of the installation force and the nationwide coverage through the network of partners, the above solutions and products will be available even to the most remote customer throughout the territory.
