What Revo does
Revo (legally REVO Systems, S.L., commercially branded Cegid Revo) is a Spanish cloud-based SaaS provider of tablet point-of-sale software for the hospitality, restaurant, and retail segments, headquartered in Manresa, Barcelona. The platform is iPad-native, running on iOS with a web-based back office, offline capability for tablet operations, and a token-secured REST API for third-party integrations; the company has held Apple Mobility Partner status for software POS scope across the Iberian Peninsula since 2017. Revo claims the #1 position in tablet-format POS in Spain, with more than 4,500 business customers and 10,000+ active points of sale, supported by an ecosystem of 80+ pre-built integrations covering delivery aggregators, payment processors, reservation systems, hotel PMS platforms, and inventory tools.
The product architecture is modular: Cegid Revo XEF (restaurants/bars) and Cegid Revo Retail are the core POS applications, complemented by satellite modules including Revo FLOW (reservations), Revo SOLO and SOLO XPress (self-ordering, QR payments, delivery), Revo KDS/DDS (kitchen and dish display), Revo InTOUCH (loyalty), Revo CONTROL/GENIUS (BI and reporting), Revo STOCK (inventory), Revo HANDY (hybrid terminal), and Revo Pay Link (payment gateway). Built-in fiscal compliance covers Spanish Verifactu, Basque TicketBAI, Italian, Portuguese, and German Bewirtungsbeleg requirements, while task-intelligence features such as Order Journey coordinate front-of-house and kitchen workflows in real time.
Revo monetizes through monthly SaaS subscriptions plus one-time Set-Up Fees, with tiered pricing (One, Basic, Plus, Pro) by device count and feature depth, separate billing for satellite apps, hardware attachment via partner channels, and alternative contracting models (Revo SUBSCRIPTION, Revo SEASON for seasonal operators, Revo TRANSFER for business succession). Go-to-market is channel-led, executed through an annually recertified distributor network (Distribuidor Autorizado REVO) with SLA measurement and a Premium Partner tier for custom API integrations, supplemented by a direct corporate sales team for multi-location hotel and restaurant groups; enterprise customers include Meliá Hotels, Catalonia Hotels, and Moeve, while mid-market names include Goiko, Juancho's BBQ, Baqueira, Coque, and Grupo Mambo. The operating footprint spans Spain, Portugal, and France, and the company is commercially affiliated with Cegid, operating under the Cegid Revo brand identity.
