“This move will further integrate our products and represents a huge opportunity for our customers, who will benefit from the data-driven, business-building, and revenue-driving benefits that this integration will bring. Teams across both businesses will be working hard to bring the benefits of this new partnership to customers old and new and we are all looking forward to building the business together.”
Dan Brookman will remain as Airship CEO working out of the company’s Sheffield office.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for the next stage of our growth. This new partnership with Zonal gives us a springboard in the UK and US and I’m really excited to see what we can achieve together,” he says.
“Between our products and our collective integrations, we have some great tech and are committed to put our customers’ customer at the centre of that. We want to really push technology to help operators drive revenue growth. The flow of customer data is richer than ever, and the possibilities for personalisation, automation and revenue recognition will revolutionise hospitality marketing.”
