2022 was a year of growth and expansion for HIA, as HIA continues to be recognized by leading hotel management companies as the most advanced and complete hotel ERP & accounting software on the market. The year started off with a bang in January 2022 when we on-boarded over 90 hotels in a single month. Throughout the year, the new hotel onboarding, achievements, and other successes kept coming. HIA also delivered numerous new developments and enhancements to what is already the most modern hotel ERP technology available.
