The software helps hotels digitize every step of the guest journey, from contactless check-in and checkout to digital authorization forms and dynamic AI-powered messaging. By replacing antiquated paper processes and manual forms with secure digital workflows, the platform minimizes chargebacks, increases ancillary hotel revenues, and elevates guest satisfaction scores.

Founder story

Canary Technologies was co-founded in 2018 by long-time friends Harman Narula and SJ Sawhney. Having spent years operating within both tech ecosystems and hospitality management positions, they observed that hotels were severely limited by outdated paper logs and faxed authorization forms. Operating out of San Francisco, California, they designed an elite digital-first platform that secured backing from Silicon Valley institutional investors to transform the guest journey.
