On behalf of our entire team, we would like to sincerely thank our customers for their loyalty, trust and excellent cooperation.
We wish you all and your families a Merry Christmas and look forward to achieving new goals together in 2026.
Sincerely, Your ASSD Team
Congratulations on eight years with the company, Alexandra Salazar!
Since November 2017 Alexandra is an important and consistent team member of ASSD Hospitality Management Software for hostels and hotels. As she used to work for many years in several Berlin hostels working with the ASSD software, Alex knew all ASSD systems very well from the beginning. She is one of ASSD top staff in support, is very committed to software roll-out, is also one of our training experts and creates the content of our ASSD You Tube channel.
In her private life, Alexandra is an absolute soccer and Formula 1 fan and will go to heaven and hell to see a Bruce Springsteen concert live. She also enjoys traveling, baking amazing cakes and can hardly say no to a good book.
A thousand thanks for your great work, we really appreciate your professionalism and commitment. Here’s to the next eight (or even better eighty :-)) years!
From November 4 to 6, 2025, the World Travel Mart WTM will take place in London and ASSD Hotel and Hostel Software will be there as an exhibitor.
Kai Niedermeyer and Anna-Lena Rösler from the ASSD team await you at the London Exhibition Centre Excel at stand S3-118. Come by and let us show you our web-based software for hotels and hostels with web check-in, housekeeping app, unique group handling, numerous automated processes such as room allocation and much more. And while you’re there, enjoy one of our delicious coffees.
Please contact Kai directly for appointments: kai.niedermeyer[at]assd.com.
We look forward to your visit!
Today we want to take a look behind the scenes at ASSD and introduce one of our valued employees, as we celebrate the fifth anniversary of our colleague Alexander Noppenberger. He is a Senior Developer and joined our team exactly five years ago.
At the moment, Alex is mainly working on a functionality concerning automatic e-mails. As soon as an e-mail is placed in a special folder, the ASSD PMS automatically knows what to answer or which PMS response to make. Ingenious!
Alexander Noppenberger’s hobbies include restoring old games consoles and programming in his spare time – true passion knows no bounds :-). Alex is also a big fan of long-distance travel, which he undertakes together with his Colombian wife. And as soon as he has some time left over, he brushes up on his Spanish.
Alex, we are very happy to have you on the team and look forward to the next five years with you. Thank you for your active support!
In July, ASSD moved into new, additional offices and inaugurated them in style. On the one hand with bread and salt to ensure happiness and success in the future and on the other, of course, with Prosecco.
We used the following day for a team excursion. During a professional guided tour of Munich’s wholesale market halls, we learned a lot about the central hub for fruit and vegetables as well as about the food itself.
We then satisfied our appetite with veal sausage and pretzels. A worthy, typically Bavarian conclusion for our great team.
A few impressions from the inauguration party and our team outing
As a sponsor of the non-profit Munich association Lesefüchse e.V., ASSD GmbH was invited to take part in its 17th reading festival as an honorary reader.
The event took place at the Grünwald Forest Experience Center, just outside Munich. 200 children from various elementary school traveled to the event and spent a wonderful morning in and with nature.
Claudia Stolz read from Marianne Hofmann’s book “Die kleine Birke” on behalf of ASSD. Other sponsors and honorary readers were the St. Michaelsbund media house and the Munich police, who were the absolute highlight for the children with several chief marshals, a chief inspector and the vice president as well as the reading fox.
Language is the basis of everything we do (not just programming languages :-)). That is why it is very important to us to awaken a love of books, reading and stories.
The ASSD PMS now offers the great option of creating customer logins for event organizers and corporate customers. Customers can use the CRSdirect tool to book their contract rates and previously agreed allotments directly.
Depending on whether it is a room booking or a larger group, there are four different options for entering the number of rooms or guests. There is also a wide range of configuration options available.
A great, digital facilitation for the front office and the reservation department as well as for your contract partners.
For individual travelers, online check-in has been a much-used standard for years. Now our new additional web check-in, which has been specially developed for large groups, has been expanded and completed.
This new product offers a simple solution to inform the booking guest about the room layout (without disclosing the actual room numbers). If necessary, the gender breakdown is also indicated.
A few days before arrival, the group leader receives a tool with which the personal data of the participants can be recorded very easily, either directly online or via upload/download with Excel. It creates a room list, a registration form if necessary and in future will also offer the option of transmitting catering requests such as allergies etc.
Easter is known to be a harbinger of the colorful spring.
It’s also a time for announcements for ASSD in 2025. You will soon receive a newsletter with details of our brand new features such as the simplified interface for quick check-in and the launch of the ASSD tool for comprehensive seminar management (rooms, courses, lecturers, etc.).
You will also receive detailed information about the Group Web Check-In, which makes life much easier for school classes and group travelers of all kinds.
Look forward to our spring news soon and in the meantime, have a wonderful break, a happy Easter and a successful Easter egg hunt!
From April 1 to 3, 2025, the North American Hostel Association Conference NAHA will take place in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. ASSD Hotel and Hostel Software is a participant and sponsor of this young, very promising event on North American territory.
NAHA’s mission is to bring the hostel industry closer together and to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experience. Naha will act as a source of ideas and inspiration, and will promote technologies and establish cooperation. In short, strong networking at all levels is the central focus.
