Technology is more than a convenience in today’s fast-paced hospitality industry. It’s a game changer. With guests expecting flawless Wi-Fi, captivating audio-visual experiences, and dynamic digital signage, staying ahead of the curve is no longer optional; it’s essential. 

Enter Modwin Networks, India’s top choice for cutting-edge hospitality technology solutions. Specialising in Managed Wi-Fi Services and AV integration, Modwin is transforming how hotels deliver exceptional, seamless, and immersive guest experiences. By focusing on reliable infrastructure and intuitive systems, Modwin makes technology an integral part of hospitality rather than just an add-on.

Connectivity is the New Comfort

From business travellers checking into city hotels to leisure guests at sprawling resorts, one expectation remains universal: fast, reliable, and seamless internet. Yet, many properties still rely on outdated, patchwork solutions that frustrate guests and strain operations.
Modwin solves this with its Managed Wi-Fi Services, custom-built for the hospitality sector. Designed to cover guest rooms, lobbies, meeting spaces, and back-of-house operations, Modwin’s Wi-Fi systems offer consistent coverage, intelligent bandwidth allocation, and secure access — all through a monthly subscription model that eliminates heavy capital expenditure. The service includes 24/7 NOC support, cyber law compliance, and end-to-end system maintenance.
The result? Happy guests, lower costs, and worry-free connectivity.

From Lobbies to Boardrooms- AV That Enhances Every Moment 

In today’s hospitality environments, audio-visual experiences define the guest journey. Whether it’s the welcoming ambience in the lobby, digital signage that directs guests to a banquet, or a high-stakes board meeting that demands flawless AV, technology plays a central role.

Modwin’s hospitality-centric AV integration includes:

•    Digital Signage and LED Walls for guest information, promotions, and ambience
•    Professional Audio Systems with customizable background music across multiple zones
•    Boardroom and Meeting Room Integration with wireless projection and HD conferencing

Vienna-based AI startup Chatlyn has raised €8 million in Series A funding, as it sets out to build what it calls the "AI brain for hotels"—a powerful communication and operations platform that is transforming how hotels engage with guests across every touchpoint. The round was led by Smedvig Ventures and saw participation from notable investors including AnyDesk founder Andreas Burike, Blaguss Group, and hospitality-focused angels. An innovation grant was also awarded by FFG, Austria's research and development agency.

Chatlyn’s platform is already used by over 1,000 properties across 30 countries, including luxury brands like St. Regis Mauritius, Singer Palace Rome, and InterContinental Vienna. The company recently opened a new Dubai office, strengthening its presence in the fast-growing Middle East market.

"We’re building an AI that understands hospitality like a concierge and never sleeps," said Nicolas Vorsteher, CEO & Co-founder, Chatlyn. "Our goal is to eliminate missed opportunities and bring back meaningful guest interactions—instantly, intelligently, and in over 35 languages."

Solving Hospitality’s €10 Billion Communication Gap

Chatlyn tackles one of the hotel industry's biggest pain points: fragmented guest communication across multiple channels like WhatsApp, Booking.com, Airbnb, SMS, and email. This chaos leads to missed revenue, frustrated staff, and unhappy guests.

Chatlyn consolidates these platforms into a single AI-powered hub that doesn’t just automate responses—it learns the brand voice, understands context, and handles everything from booking inquiries to multilingual review replies.

Innovations Driving Adoption

  • AI Visual Webchat: Guests can book rooms via chat, see real-time prices, and complete reservations—all within a conversation.

  • 98% Open Rates: WhatsApp-based messaging far outperforms traditional email marketing.

  • Full Channel Integration: Only platform that combines Airbnb, Booking messenger, social, email, SMS, and more.

  • Language Mastery: Real-time translation in 35+ languages, handling 70%+ of inquiries autonomously.

Industry Voices

"Our AI assistant handles over 70% of queries in English, German, Arabic, and more—freeing our team to focus on delivering exceptional service," said Garry Loefgen, Head of Commercial at InterContinental Vienna.

"Chatlyn is poised to lead hospitality’s biggest transformation since online booking," said Freddie Kalfayan, Principal at Smedvig Ventures.

Roadmap: Scaling Intelligence

The new funds will be used to:

  • Develop AI Booking Assistant for seamless omnichannel bookings.

  • Expand into APAC, UAE, and wider Europe, cementing market leadership.

  • Double the AI and development team, enhancing both platform depth and consultative services for hotels.

"We’re not just automating—our AI anticipates needs and creates magical guest moments,” added Michael Urbanek, CTO & Co-founder.

Fast Facts:

  • Funding Raised: €8M Series A

  • Properties Served: 1,000+ in 30 countries

  • Founded: Late 2022

  • Top Integrations: Oracle Opera, Mews, Protel by Planet, Apaleo, Clock PMS

  • Recognition: World Travel Awards 2024 – Best Chatbot Solution Provider

  • Key Clients: The Royal Stable Dubai, InterContinental Vienna, Le Grand Bellevue Gstaad

Chatlyn’s momentum signals a new era of smart hospitality, where AI doesn’t replace staff—it empowers them to deliver faster, more meaningful guest experiences.

Otelier, the hospitality data platform, has unveiled a revamped version of its budgeting and forecasting solution TruePlan, designed specifically for the hotel industry. With a refreshed user interface and enhanced functionality, the platform aims to help hotel operators replace cumbersome spreadsheets with a more streamlined and collaborative financial planning experience.

Russell Meek, Senior Director of Product Strategy at Otelier, shared, “Budgeting and forecasting should be powerful, not painful. We’ve rebuilt TruePlan to be faster, scalable, and aligned with the real-world needs of today’s hotel finance teams.”

The updated platform allows daily-level forecasting, bulk action tools, and pre-loaded financial drivers relevant to the hospitality industry. It also fosters cross-department collaboration, reducing revisions and delays, while enabling users to shorten budgeting cycles by up to 30%.

Key features include:

  • Modern user interface for intuitive use

  • Self-service onboarding

  • Built-in collaboration tools

  • Power BI integration for dynamic reporting

  • Integration with PMS, labour, BI, and accounting systems for live data planning

TruePlan is built on Otelier’s centralised integration framework, which ensures synchronised data flow across various hospitality tech solutions such as accounts payable automation, financial reconciliations, and night audit compliance.

This latest launch marks another step in Otelier’s mission to optimise hotel performance, following its strategic partnership with Repay Holdings last year to enhance payment and financial workflows across the industry.

With TruePlan, Otelier is not only improving financial forecasting but also redefining the way hoteliers collaborate and make critical planning decisions.
