Holidu sets new standards in the vacation home
market with SAP Cloud ERP
Holidu masters the switch to SAP Cloud ERP (former SAP S/4HANA Cloud) with flying colors, setting new standards in process speed and scalability for further global growth.
Holidu: Your key to the best vacation home deals worldwide
Holidu GmbH, based in Munich, is one of the leading vacation rental companies in Europe. With one of the largest offers in Europe’s most popular vacation regions, guests can choose from millions of accommodations via its booking platform. As an innovative German company, Holidu has made a name for itself on the Internet platform scene. As a pioneer in the industry and shaped by its founders Johannes and Michael Siebers, who pursue an international focus, Holidu had already been on course with SAP Business ByDesign since 2017. However, the exponential growth and dynamic development of the business model required a new strategic direction. With expansion into international markets and the constant addition of new business areas, it was inevitable that the company’s IT landscape would have to grow with it.
