The creator of South Korea’s most popular hotel app has acquired Indian lodgings management platform eZee Technosys, quickening an expansion beyond its home country.
Yanolja Co. will pick up 21,000-plus global clients from the Surat, India-based company, which helps hotels and other customers manage room bookings and loyalty programs online. The Korean company hopes to extend that automation technology to its other businesses across the region.
