History

Torsten Sabel and Moritz Klussmann co-founded Customer Alliance in 2009, creating software tools for hotels, starting with the German hospitality market. Since then, the company has grown to serve an international clientele base and has expanded its services to the automotive and ecommerce industries as well.[3]

In 2010, Customer Alliance won second place in the "Sprungbrett" competition in the category "Best Startup". The competition was the highlight of the "Online Innovation Days" of the Verband Internet Reisevertrieb e.V. (VIR), supported by Messe Berlin GmbH, and took place for the third time in a row. [4]

In 2011, the company received a six-digit seed investment from Mountain Super Angel and Hightech Gründerfonds.[5]

In 2012, Customer Alliance became an official partner of the German Hotel Association (Deutscher Hotelverband IHA). Moreover, the SaaS solution provider won the German Silicon Valley Accelerator. Twice a year, the award brings six German start-ups to Silicon Valley to help them expand their network. The program is supported by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. [6] In the same year, the company opened another branch in Querétaro, Mexico to expand the business in South America.  

In June 2019, Customer Alliance announced its merger with Toocan, which is a Berlin-based company known for its tool the HotelNavigator.[7] This tool enables hotels to collect and evaluate guest feedback while monitoring online reviews.
