About us

We built the DACH operations platform we wished we had.

OkupAI was founded by hospitality operators who managed the same channels, guest journeys, payments, access, teams, and reporting the platform connects today.

OkupAI software used by hospitality professionals

Years in the industry came first.

Before OkupAI, we spent years working hands-on in hospitality and property management. We dealt with fragmented calendars, repetitive guest communication, payment follow-up, access handoffs, Ortstaxe, guest-registration paperwork, and the same operational pressure our customers face every day.

Eventually, it became clear that another workaround was not enough. We needed a better tool designed around the way professionals actually work. So we built OkupAI: DACH operations software shaped by practical experience, with AI where it saves time—not as a gimmick.

You are never left explaining your business to people who only know software. We understand the work behind every booking, and we are committed to helping you run it with more clarity, control, and time.

The people behind OkupAI

Two founders, one shared standard.

We stay close to the product and to our customers, so practical experience continues to guide every decision we make.
