Bewotec

What Bewotec does

Bewotec is a privately held, owner-managed German software company that has built vertical B2B software for the European travel industry since 1988, headquartered in Rösrath near Cologne. The company's product portfolio is organized around two core platforms: myJACK, an integrated 360° travel agency software suite that combines the myCRS central reservation system, customer and case management, accounting (with AI-supported e-invoicing and IDW PS 880 certification), online distribution (meinereisedaten.com), and the Pluto cruise booking module under a single subscription; and DaVinci/DaVinci NT, a tour operator and cruise line system for purchasing, dynamic packaging, pricing, sales, and travel processing, with DaVinci NT being the modern cloud-based version built on OTDS technology that is unusual among European cruise operators.

The company serves a dual customer base: thousands of stationary and mobile travel agencies in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the Netherlands (sold via subscription based on a percentage of customer revenue), and a smaller set of large tour operators and cruise lines (TUI, TUI Cruises, AIDA Cruises, DERTOUR, Schauinsland Reisen, Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, Center Parcs) sold via one-time license plus mandatory service contracts, with optional terminal-server/cloud hosting sold separately. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales, a 100-day guided onboarding program, a co-distribution layer through major travel agency networks (TSS Group, HOLIDAY LAND, Best-Reisen, alltours, AER), an academy/training program, and partnerships with technology integrators (DATEV, Giata, Passolution, A3M, Passenger Friends, TeamViewer, MXP). Revenue mechanics are diversified across subscription SaaS, perpetual license plus service, and managed hosting, with the model explicitly designed around long-term customer relationships (several customers exceed 20 years) rather than short-cycle SaaS economics.
