Spectaflow, which was founded in 2019 offers a SaaS solution for hotel and vacation rental property management, focused on improving cleaning and maintenance workflows, staffing planning
and compliance to evolving international cleaning standards.
The company, founded by Petur Orri Saemundsen, Erlendur Steinn Gudnason and Frans Veigar Gardarsson, currently has one hundred hotels in five countries using their solution.

This round of financing was led by Frumtak Ventures with existing investors participating.
Spectaflow estimates that 15% of hotel cleaning staff’s time is spent just trying to find which rooms to clean.

“Spectaflow focuses on solving the complexities of managing deskless workforces in hotel and vacation rental operations, some of the most challenging and time-consuming aspects of hospitality management,” says Petur Orri Saemundsen, Co-founder and CEO of Spectaflow. “Through smart integrations with existing systems and leveraging our AI for predictive planning, Spectaflow mitigates staffing challenges, interdepartmental miscommunications and improves cleaning and maintenance workflows for significantly improved guest services and experiences.”
