Built by hospitality people, for hospitality people
HMCTS LLC is a technology company founded to solve the real operational challenges facing independent hotel operators in the US and UK markets.
Three decades of hospitality experience — in one platform
HMCTS LLC was founded by hospitality professionals who had spent careers inside hotels — managing operations, driving revenue, and watching technology either help or hinder their teams. After decades working across properties in both the United States and the United Kingdom, we recognised a persistent gap: the property management software available to independent operators was either too complex for small teams, too limited for ambitious operators, or too expensive for the margins the industry operates on.
We built HMCTS to change that. Our platform combines enterprise-grade functionality with the practicality that independent hotel operators need — delivered with the support that smaller businesses deserve.
Incorporated in the State of Delaware, United States, we serve clients across the Atlantic. Our team brings more than 30 years of collective hospitality industry experience to every implementation.
Our Mission
“To empower independent hotel operators with technology that matches the quality and capability of the largest hotel groups — at a price and with the support that independent businesses can rely on.”
