Parity Technology Solutions
Enters Multi-Year Agreement with InnVest Hotels
Parity Technology Solutions has been selected as InnVest Hotels’ preferred technology provider.
TORONTO, CANADA — March 10, 2020 — Parity Technology Solutions (Parity) and InnVest Hotels (InnVest) today announced a three-year technology services agreement for InnVest’s Choice Branded portfolio of properties throughout Canada.
InnVest Hotels is the largest independent owner of hotels in Canada, operating over 80 hotel properties with over 10,500 rooms, under internationally recognized franchise brands like Comfort Inn, Fairmont, Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, Delta, and Holiday Inn.
Parity Technology Solutions is a single-source, managed technology provider serving the end-to-end technology needs of over 1,600 hotels around the globe with service in USA, Canada, Mexico, India, and China.
Parity Technology Solutions recently implemented a WIFI gateway upgrade in 54 Comfort® hotels, owned and operated by InnVest Hotels. Seamlessly integrating Parity’s fully-managed suite of IT services with each property’s existing technology in just 21 days — without interruption or incident — was paramount. The integrated InnVest hotels span across Canada, from the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec, to New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia.
Parity Technology Solutions was selected based on their expansive footprint across Canada, their unparalleled guest and hotel management support, and the standard of excellence that drives their technology teams. InnVest Hotels required a technology provider that was fully certified with Choice Hotels Canada, Inc., franchisor of the Comfort® brand, and fully certified with Nomadix, Inc., a provider of guest-facing cloud-managed network edge devices and InnVest’s preferred gateway vendor. Parity Technology Solutions delivered on both, as a certified Choice Hotels provider since 2009 and a Nomadix certified partner since 2010.
“Parity Technology Solutions was chosen based on many factors: their high level of professionalism, their swift and problem-free deployments, their reputation as a leading Nomadix integrator, and their presence as both a long-standing Canadian provider and a leading integrator for Choice Hotels Canada Inc.” says Mclean Xavier, Vice President of Technology at InnVest Hotels. “Successfully deploying the new service to 54 of our properties in less than 21 days, without incident, assured us that we chose the right technology provider. Parity Technology Solutions now supports over 75% of our properties.”
Through this partnership with InnVest Hotels, new offices opening in China, and service expansion into South America, the Caribbean, India, and Europe, Parity Technology Solutions is poised to continue its growth in the international market and become a leader in the hospitality technology market.

Parity Technology Solutions Acquires Hotspot International
Strengthens Its Position in the Hospitality Technology Industry
HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA — November 7, 2019 — Parity Technology Solutions, a hospitality technology company with operations in the US and Canada, announced that it has acquired Hotspot International, a leading hotel “turnkey” solutions provider with services in Mexico, United States, Central America and the Caribbean.
Parity Technology Solutions (Parity) is a single-source, managed technology provider serving the hospitality, multi-dwelling, healthcare, and retail center markets. They recently rebranded their name — formerly Active Networks — to solidify their stance, offering, and footprint in the hospitality technology market. The company has seen a recent surge in growth and is continuously expanding its global footprint and service offerings through mergers and acquisitions with international technology firms.
The acquisition of Hotspot International enhances Parity’s product and service line to now include a comprehensive integrated solution that leverages the rXg platform developed by RGNets. The implementation of micro-segmentation through auto-generated Dynamic VLANs and PANs provides a more efficient and secure network, as well as a better guest experience. Their WiFi Tracking Function allows participating guests to receive special offers depending on their location on the property. The benefits to the hotel include reduced operating costs and increased sales. These and other features from Hotspot International will soon be available to Parity Technology Solutions’ rapidly expanding customer base.
With offices opening in China (Jan. 2020) and service expansion into South America, the Caribbean, India, and Europe, the company is poised to continue its growth in the international market. Orlando Phillips, president of Parity Technology Solutions said, “Our acquisition of Hotspot International complements us perfectly. We wanted a company that was founded on honesty and reliability, has an established brand loyalty as evidenced by their major hotel certifications, and also provides us the opportunity to expand our presence in South and Central America.”
A new “all-in-one” service paradigm is driving the technology demands of today’s hotels. This investment represents an important strategic opportunity to deliver on this new paradigm for the Parity’s 1,600 clients around the globe.
“The industry is evolving away from segmented technology where multiple vendors deliver separate solutions. This siloed approach no longer works. It’s costly and inefficient. The merger between Parity’s and Hotspot International drives our direction as a single-solution, single-point-of-contact provider. Our converged networks reduce operating costs to our hotel customers, provide greater efficiency, and seamlessly integrate all technology services,” said Louis Miller, founder and CEO of Hotspot International. Hotspot International will continue running in its own entity as a subsidiary of Parity Technology Solutions.
With this and other recent acquisitions, Parity Technology Solutions is positioned to become a leader in the hospitality technology market.
