CDS is preparing for the transition to the new electronic invoice regulation starting in September 2026.

Founded in 2001 and led by its founder and shareholder, Ziad Minkara, CDS is the French market leader and a key player in technology integration for the hotel and business travel sector across Europe. Its comprehensive hotel booking platform is designed to meet the needs of both corporate clients and travel management companies (TMCs). CDS stands out with dedicated customer support in each country, tailored sourcing to support its clients, an extensive and diversified hotel content offering, robust payment solutions, and advanced reporting tools to help companies better manage their travel spend. In 2022, the Group expanded its services with the acquisition of Goelett, an online booking tool for TMCs, and strengthened its presence in Italy by opening an office in Rome. In 2023, CDS broadened its European reach by acquiring Corporate Rates Club (CRC), a well-established player in Germany for over 20 years. By the end of 2024, CDS acquired SIAP, Italy’s leading ERP solutions provider for business travel agencies. Together, these brands operate in perfect synergy, offering a complete range of services to meet the diverse needs of companies and travel agencies across Europe.
