What if running a hotel or a resort was easy?

Running a resort or a hotel is difficult. It is especially hard, when you don’t have easy to use intuitive tools to run it. How do we know this? We have personally faced this issue from an entrepreneur’s point of view. Moder was born out of the frustration of a travel entrepreneur, when operating a business was way too complicated. As a result we imagined an easy to use modern system, that could sell and operate all travel products and take into an account all aspects of the travel company.

Our Story

It all started with a problem

Matti, our Co-Founder and CEO, is a third generation resort entrepreneur at Hawkhill Resort. He has been running a high-end resort for over a decade and has extensive experience in operating, developing and building a successfull travel business. Matti was trying to find a tool, that would support the growth and development of a modern hospitality business. “We needed a product that would allow you to operate accommodations, rentals and activities all in one system. The product must be easy to use and mobile-first.” On the search for this tool it turned out, that it did not exist on the market.

The problem needed to be resolved. Our Co-Founders Matti and Anu started gathering a team of seasoned developers and UI designers to build a product that was modern, easy to use, could handle all travel products and would answer to future needs of hospitality business.

Moder was born.

Our values

As our Co-Founder Anu said wisely ”we want to create a company where we always would have wanted to work, but we feel hasn’t existed”. We want to be a company where values matter and truly guide the business operations. The one where a customer is a truly valued partner and where people enjoy their work, collegues and are valued as individuals.

  • We build for our customers – not for us, or our investors. ​
