Lodgit Hotelsoftware Gmbh

What Lodgit Hotelsoftware Gmbh does

Lodgit Hotelsoftware GmbH is a privately held German software company founded in 1996 and headquartered in Leipzig that develops property management and online booking software for small hotels, guesthouses, and pensions. Its flagship product, Lodgit Desk, is a desktop hotel management application available for Windows and macOS that supports both single-user local database mode and multi-workstation deployment via a cubeSQL database server. The software covers the full front-office workflow: a visual occupancy plan (Belegungsplan), booking creation via drawing mode or guided booking assistant, guest management with history tracking, flexible pricing structures (weekday-, seasonal-, and occupancy-dependent), invoicing with deposit and dunning handling, and a cash register with X/Z reports. The company also markets a broad portfolio of optional add-on modules under the simplify-hospitality.com umbrella, including an online booking engine, channel manager synchronization (CultSwitch, DIRS21, HotelSpider, MappingMaster, SiteMinder, Airbnb), POS interfaces (Vectron, GASTWARE, PROTEL-compatible), electronic locking systems (SALTO, H\u00e4fele), electronic guest registration (AVS, Feratel Deskline), TSE-compliant cash register security (Kassensicherungsverordnung 2020 with Epson printers), DSFinV-K and GoBD export, and guest-facing modules such as a guest app, online check-in, payment manager, and staff scheduling.

The company sells time-limited software licenses through a self-serve online storefront at lodgit.com, with additional revenue from optional module add-ons, one-time setup fees, and commission-based revenue on certain online interface services. Distribution is entirely digital via download from the company's website, with payment handled upfront through the online sales portal. The target segment is small accommodation businesses in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), with localization for German and Austrian regulatory requirements (TSE, GoBD, DSFinV-K, ELSTER, AVS/Feratel registration) serving as a key differentiator versus international cloud-native PMS competitors. The company is operationally linked to Simplify Hospitality GmbH in Salzburg, Austria and SiTec GmbH in Vienna, and is led by sole Managing Director Konrad Aspetzberger. No funding rounds, headcount, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
