Pioneering change in the hospitality industry
The hospitality sector constantly seeks innovative solutions to enhance operational efficiency and customer experience. Maritim Hotels, a prestigious family-owned German hotel brand, has embarked on a transformative journey with Thynk.Cloud to revolutionize its operational dynamics. Roland Elter, the brand's Managing Director and Chief Commercial Officer, delves into the reasons behind choosing Thynk.
Identifying the Challenge:
The quest for integration
Maritim's primary challenge was the integration of meeting and event procedures into a unified platform. Elter explains, “We were thinking for a long time about how can we organize our meeting and event procedures into one central point.” The market, however, fell short of offering a comprehensive solution. This gap led Maritim on a quest for a partner who could provide an all-encompassing package.
“We want to be flexible, dynamic, and fast while we continue being exceptional in the German conference market, offering customers a unique experience from inquiry to execution, and providing our employees with a future-proof software solution that strengthens our employer brand."

Thynk:
Beacon of innovation in hospitality technology
The entrance of Thynk onto the scene marked a turning point for Maritim. Elter’s anticipation was clear: "We were waiting for Thynk for quite a long time." Thynk stood out as the only technology provider capable of fulfilling Maritim’s extensive wishlist. Elter’s first impression of Thynk Cloud's demo was nothing short of revelatory, “On the spot, we loved it. That was the beginning.”
“I have not seen anyone out there providing what Thynk is going to give us at the moment, The idea is fresh, the idea is great and the idea helps us to organize ourselves.”
