Operto Guest Technologies builds a smart property automation platform that enables hotels, property managers and vacation-rental owners to remotely monitor and control properties, including smartphone-enabled guest verification, security-deposit/payment handling, and electronic elevator and room access. The company says its automated solutions serve more than 50 million rooms globally and have been adopted in over 100 countries. Operto works exclusively with Accor to power its global digital key program and supports luxury brands such as Fairmont and Raffles. Proceeds from the US$25 million Series B will fund aggressive expansion in the global short-term rental and hotel markets. The platform integrates with existing property-management software and aims to lower operating costs while driving new in-stay revenue for property owners and hosts. Operto is headquartered in Vancouver and recently added Sam Shank, former HotelTonight CEO and ex‑Airbnb commercial head, to its board. Operto Guest Technologies Inc. is a Vancouver, British Columbia-based provider of smart device automation and SaaS technologies for hotels, multifamily, vacation and short-term rental industries. Its core product is the Connect operating system, a SaaS-based property automation and IoT platform that gives property managers real-time visibility and control across portfolios. Operto's platform digitizes the post-booking guest experience and automates property operations to improve short-term rental and hospitality management. The company plans to use new funding to accelerate development of the Connect operating system and to expand across accommodation verticals and into new geographies. Operto completed a $12.0M Series A financing in February 2022 led by FUSE with follow-on investments from Watchfire Venturers, BlackPines Capital Partners and other investors.
