Portfolio Jobs

We are Smartness, and we support small and medium-sized accommodation providers with solutions to help them fight back against the huge hotel chains.

We were named one of Italy’s top start-ups in 2024 and are the fastest-growing B2B SaaS company in the accommodation space in both revenue and number of clients. Today, we work with over 3,000 companies in 17+ countries and continue to grow. Yet, this is only the start of our journey.
