    Amsterdam, The Netherlands (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

    Olery (http://www.olery.com), a provider of reputation management software for the leisure and hospitality industry, announced today that it has completed a $1 million (€750K) funding round from an undisclosed source. Olery will leverage the new funds to build upon current market traction in the US, Europe, Middle East and Asia Pacific, expand international sales, improve existing products, scale development efforts, and bring new products to market.

    “Our technology has been in development since 2010, and we’ve utilized that time to perfect our infrastructure, launch new products in the market, and deliver proof-of-concept with some of the leading hotels in the world including Boscolo Hotels, Van der Valk Hotels, Carlton Hotels, Best Western and Hampshire Hospitality,” said Kim van den Wijngaard, CEO and co-founder of Olery. “We plan to use our new funding to expand our international sales, scale development efforts, and bring to market a game-changing new product that we plan to announce in early March at ITB, the world’s leading travel trade show held in Berlin.”

    The global expansion of Olery is also perfectly timed with the market. According to recent research conducted by Market Metrix: “Guest experience factors including past experience, reputation, recommendations, and online reviews are critical to selecting a hotel by the majority of hotel guests (51%) and are now more important to guests than either hotel location (48%) or price (42%). This means that for the first time, more bookings are driven by reputation than either location or price.”
