The story

Founded in 2004 as a cloud-based booking and management platform for spas and wellness businesses, Book4Time expanded beyond scheduling into embedded payments with the 2021 launch of Book4Time Pay, powered by Adyen for Platforms. This move transformed the company from a pure SaaS tool into a payments-enabled vertical platform serving luxury hotels, resorts, and salons across 100+ countries. Acquired by Agilysys in August 2024, Book4Time is now positioned as the spa and ancillary revenue management arm of a broader hospitality software portfolio, with embedded payments as a core revenue driver.
