What Fastbooking does

D-EDGE, operating under the historical Fastbooking brand founded in 2000 and headquartered in Paris, France, is a cloud-based hotel technology platform serving hotels ranging from independent properties to international chains across more than 22 countries. The platform is built around a guest-centric Central Reservation System (CRS) and is extended by a Channel Manager, Booking Engine, Connectivity Hub, Data Intelligence suite (Performance Analysis, Price Recommendation, Price Monitoring), Digital Media products (Ad Management, Metasearch, Social, Display, Search Marketing), Hotel Website Creation tools, and a Customer Relationship Management family (Guest Profile, Loyalty, Online Reputation Management, Guest Messaging, Guest App, Hotel Operations Management). Underlying architecture emphasizes open interoperability, with the Connectivity Hub providing integration with PMS, RMS, distribution, payment, and CRM systems, and a Connected Partners program onboarding third-party vendors into the ecosystem.

The company generates revenue primarily through recurring subscriptions to its modular suite, sold under quote-based, customized pricing tied to hotel size and selected modules, supplemented by digital media and agency services.
