What elloha does
elloha is a French SaaS company that provides a unified platform for tourism and leisure professionals to manage online distribution and commission-free direct bookings. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Perpignan, France, the company targets independent hotels, B&Bs, vacation rentals, campings, and activity/attraction operators in French-speaking markets (France and Quebec, Canada). The stated customer base exceeds 10,000 tourism and leisure professionals, served by an organization of 11–50 employees structured as an SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) registered in France under RCS Perpignan 837 856 806.
The platform is built around two core products: a commission-free Booking Engine for direct online reservations, and a Channel Manager that synchronizes availability and pricing in real-time across 60+ OTAs—including Booking, Airbnb, Expedia, Vrbo-Abritel, Trivago, TripAdvisor, Google Things To Do, Viator, GetYourGuide, and local concierge networks—using a mix of certified XML (real-time) and iCal (asynchronous) protocols. The product suite also includes a multilingual website builder (the "Magic Plan" module, supporting 8 languages), SmartConnect rate-parity logic compliant with French Macron law, centralized review management across Google/Booking/Airbnb/Vrbo, mobile-based beach and pool access control with QR validation, email marketing, abandoned-cart recovery, gift cards, and Upsell/Flexdate booking options. Certified partnerships with Google, Trivago, and TripAdvisor enable display of an "Official Site"/"Site Officiel" badge that drives search-driven traffic directly to the property.
The business model is a fixed monthly/annual subscription with three pricing tiers—Startup (€23/month annual), Connect (€46/month), and Magic (€52/month)—plus a parallel Quebec pricing schedule of $39–$89 CAD/month; elloha explicitly charges no per-booking commission. Payment processing is routed via Stripe, PayBox, PayZen, PayZone, or Klarna, with processor fees passed through. The company is privately held, bootstrapped (no external venture funding disclosed), and led by founder Bruno Delmas (CEO & President). It was recognized by the UNWTO in 2021 as the world's most innovative startup in the "Tourism Propulsion and DeepTech" category and is a member of the French Tech community.
