What solidres does

Solidres is a privately held, founder-owned software company founded in 2013 that develops an online booking and reservation management extension for the Joomla CMS. Its core product is a PHP/MySQL extension distributed under the GNU GPL open-source license, with a plugin-based architecture including commercial add-ons for multi-vendor booking portals (Hub), tour and activity bookings (Experience), OTA channel management (via MyAllocator and Beds24 integrations), front desk operations, dashboards, invoicing, housekeeping, and 20+ payment gateway integrations (PayPal, Stripe, Braintree, Square, Mollie, Authorize.net, MercadoPago, and others). The platform supports multilingual sites across 25 languages, GDPR compliance via Joomla Privacy integration, and iCal-based calendar synchronization, with a template ecosystem of more than ten premium Joomla themes.

The company's revenue model combines a freemium core with tiered annual subscriptions (JOOMLA, HUB, HUB BUNDLE, JOOMLA BUNDLE), individual commercial plugin licenses, premium templates (one-time licenses), and custom development services. It pursues a product-led, direct-to-consumer go-to-market: a free download is available from solidres.com, with self-serve conversion to paid commercial tiers, supported by documentation, video tutorials, and an active community forum. Customer segments are exclusively small and medium-sized hospitality operators — boutique hotels, guesthouses, vacation rentals, tour operators, and a separate Restaurant Management System line for food and beverage businesses — with a geographically dispersed customer base across Europe, Latin America, Cyprus, and Russia.

The company has no disclosed institutional funding and no enterprise customers. Recent strategic activity centers on a 2026 product roadmap that delivered Solidres 4.0.2 (Joomla 6.1+ support), a rebuilt Front Desk and Dashboard, Speedy Translate 2.0.0, the Solidres 4.1.0 release with a new Rate Plan Editor, and the launch of Solidshop as a native e-commerce companion to Joomla, signaling incremental ecosystem buildout rather than aggressive market expansion.
