We thank the Carlsquare team for their invaluable experience in the software space and their advice throughout the process, ensuring a seamless and successful transaction.

“Joining a leading group in Information Technology such as Zucchetti will allow us to accelerate our growth in the DACH region, both by supporting our investments in technological innovation for the continuous development of easybooking, and by allowing us to offer our customers additional digital solutions and services provided by Zucchetti for the hotel world.” – Thomas Winkler, Ulli Beckmann, Manager, zadego
“At Zucchetti, we don’t acquire companies—we forge long-term partnerships that accelerate growth and technological excellence. zadego has built an outstanding reputation with easybooking, empowering thousands of hoteliers with efficiency and automation. By integrating their expertise into the Zucchetti ecosystem, we are setting new benchmarks for seamless, all-in-one hospitality solutions across Europe.” – Dirk Schwindling, EVP, Zucchetti Worldwide Business Operations
“In our acquisition strategy, both in Italy and abroad, we focus on companies that already have a consolidated business and on technologically advanced solutions that can be integrated with other components of our offering. zadego, with the thirteen years of experience of its people and the quality of the easybooking software, met these requirements exactly. We are therefore convinced that this transaction will allow Zucchetti to expand its penetration in the hospitality market in Austria, Germany and Switzerland.” – Angelo Guaragni, Managing Director, Zucchetti Hospitality
